2-8 WPS Settings
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection
between wireless network clients and the wireless access point. You don’t
have to select encryption mode and input a long encryption passphrase
every time when you need to setup a wireless client, you only have to
press a button on wireless client and this access point, and the WPS will
do the setup for you.
The WPS settings for wireless access point and the wireless client are
different. Please refer to the following two sections.
Wireless Access Point - please go to section 2-8-1
Wireless Client - please go to section 2-8-2

or click ‘Start WPS’ button in the web configuration interface to do this;
if you want to use PIN code, you have to provide the PIN code of the
wireless client you wish to connect to this access point and then switch

point and WPS-enabled wireless client by WPS, click ‘WPS Settings’ on
