Section 3 - Software Configuration
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless
network during the “Initial setup” as well as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-
Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures.
The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or
correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in
setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting
of WPA2 is automatically used.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:

In the PIN Settings section, the user not only will be able to view the PIN code, but will also be able to reset the PIN to default or to generate a new PIN code. A PIN is a unique
number that can be used to add the router to an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security, a
new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the Administrator (“admin” account) can change or reset the PIN.
In the Wi-Fi Protected Setup section, the user can enable the WPS feature of this router.
