B4.2. WPS — PIN (Personal Information Number)
Personal Information Number (PIN) allows your computer to connect to a wireless network
by entering the adapter’s PIN code to your router or access point. Unlike wireless network
security passwords, you do not need to memorize the PIN code. Please check the user

your router or access point’s IP address
. In addition, you need to have one of the following:
z A computer directly connects to the router or access point through wired
connection. This computer can be the one with ENLWI-1XN4x installed on or a
different one.
z A computer already connects to the router or access point through wireless
connection. For example, this could be your laptop computer.
