5.2 Connecting a Wireless Client using WPS
This section gives you an example of how to connect a client to the WRE2206 using WPS.
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do
both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network by simply pressing the
WPS button twice on the WRE2206’s front panel or by clicking the Start PBC button in the
Network > Wireless LAN > WPS Station screen. See Section 5.2.1 on page 26. This is the
easier method.
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the WRE2206’s interface. See Section 5.2.2 on page 28. This
is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCI card).
5.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
This section gives you an example of how to set up a wireless network using WPS PBC. This
example uses the WRE2206 as the registrar and NWD210N as the wireless client in a notebook.
1 Make sure that your WRE2206 is turned on and that it is within range of your computer.
