You may use either the Push Button Configuration (PBC) method or PIN
method to allow a device access to your wireless network. Conceptually, the
two methods work as follows:
PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on the back of your Router for three
seconds. Then initiate the WPS procedure on the client device within two
minutes. Refer to your client’s documentation on this procedure. Pushing the
PBC button will automatically enable WPS. The client has now been securely
added to your wireless network.
PIN: The client device has a PIN number (either four or eight digits) that is associated
with WPS. Enable WPS through the GUI shown below. Enter the client’s PIN
into the Router’s internal registrar (accessed through this GUI). The client will be
automatically enrolled into your wireless network within two minutes.
1. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): Enabled or Disabled.
2. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, a wireless client
wishing to access your network must supply a 4- or 8-digit PIN to the Router.
After clicking “Enroll”, you must start the WPS handshaking procedure from the
client within two minutes.
3. Router PIN: If an external registrar is available, you may enter in the Router’s
PIN to the registrar. Click “Generate New PIN” to change the PIN from the
default value. Click “Restore Default PIN” to reset the PIN value.
4. Push Button Configuration (PBC) Method: PBC is an alternate method to
connect to a WPS network. Push the PBC button located on the back of
the Router for three seconds, and then initiate the PBC on the client device.
Alternatively, push the “Start PBC” soft button to start this process.
5. Manual Configuration Method: This section lists the default security settings if
not using WPS.
The Router features WPA2, which is the second generation of the WPA™ based
802.11i standard. It offers a higher level of wireless security by combining
advanced network authentication and stronger Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) encryption methods.
