Objective
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a wireless security feature that allows devices to connect to the wireless network without having to key in the actual password. WPS was designed to help standardize the setup and configuration of wireless security by simply following any of the three ways below to connect your device to the router wirelessly via WPS:
- Clicking or pressing the WPS button on the client device and clicking the WPS icon on the WPS page of the router web-based setup utility.
- Entering the WPS Personal Identification Number (PIN) of the client device and clicking the Register button on the router web-based utility.
- Generating the Router WPS PIN on its web-based utility and entering the same PIN on the client device.
