Setting up your wireless network adapter
WPS uses WPA2 for encryption. It does not provide additional security, but standardized the
method for securing your wireless network. On your client utility, WPS-enabled networks are
indicated by a key icon. You can use either the PBC method or the PIN method to let a device
access your wireless network.
To use the PBC method:
1 Push and hold the WPS button (located on the back of your router) for three seconds.
Initiate the WPS procedure on the client utility within two minutes.
2 Open the WNU and select the network name, then click Connect. Your client
automatically exchanges security information and is added to your wireless network.
You can also initiate the PBS method from the client side.
To use the PIN method:
1 Open the WNU and select the WPS-enabled network, then click Connect.
2 Choose the PIN method option, then complete the WPS procedure on your router. Your
client is automatically enrolled in your wireless network within two minutes.
To enable security, you will first need to determine which standard is used by the router. (See
your wireless router’s guide for directions on how to access the security settings.)
To access the security settings on your card:
1 Open the WNU.
2 Click the My Connections tab, then click the connection you want to change.
3 Click Edit, then click Advanced to change settings.
To access the security settings on your network adapter, click the My Connections tab and
point to the connection for which you want to change security settings. Click Edit to change
settings.
