2-7 WPS Configuration
Note: This function supports Windows XP/XP64 Operation system only.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the latest wireless network technology, which makes wireless network setup
become very simple. If you have WPS-enabled wireless access point, and you want to establish a secure
connection to it, you don’t have to configure the wireless access point and setup data encryption. All you have to
do is go to the WPS setup page of this wireless card, click a button, and then press a specific button on the
wireless access point you wish to establish a secure connection - just three simple steps!
For older wireless access points, it’s possible to perform a firmware upgrade to become a WPS-enabled access
point. Since they may not have a hardware button to press for WPS setup, you can use an alternative WPS
setup method – input the pin code. Every WPS-compatible wireless network card comes with a unique WPS pin
code; you can just input the code to wireless access point, and the wireless access point and wireless network
card will do the rest for you.
This wireless network card is compatible with WPS. To use this function, the wireless access point you wish to
connect to must support WPS function too. Now, please follow the following instructions to establish secure
connection between WPS-enabled wireless access point and your wireless network card:
