4.2 Easy Wi-Fi Connection with WPS function

Purpose:

The setting of the wireless network connection is never easy. To avoid the

complex setting of the wireless connection you can enable the WPS function.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) refers to the easy configuration of the encrypted

connection between the device and the wireless router. The WPS makes it easy to

add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases. There are

two modes of the WPS connection, the PBC mode and the PIN mode.

Note: If you enable the WPS function, you don’t need to configure the parameters

such as the encryption type and you don’t need to know the key of the wireless

connection.

Steps:

PBC Mode:

PBC refers to the Push-Button-Configuration, in which the user simply has to

push a button, either an actual or virtual one (as the button on the

configuration interface of the IE browser), on both the Access Point (and a registrar

of the network) and the new wireless client device.

Note: Support of this mode is mandatory for both the Access Points and the

connecting devices.

button and you can see the indicator near the button start flashing, which

means the WPS function of the router is enabled. For detailed operation,

please see the user guide of the router.
