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 by yourself. All you have to do is to go to the WPS
setup page of this wireless card, click a button, and then press a specific
button or enter a set of 8-digit code 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 support pin code configuration method; 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.
This wireless network card supports 2 kinds of WPS: PIN code and
Push-Button.
Please follow the following instructions to setup WPS:
1. Right-click Edimax configuration utility icon, and click ‘Open Config
Utility’.
