Using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup 3

developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. By inputting a PIN which is created by an Enrollee (your machine) to the
Registrar (a device that manages the wireless LAN), you can setup the wireless network and security
settings. See the user’s guide for your wireless access point/router for instructions on how to access the
Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode.
