Setting Up WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
You can set up WPS to make the 802.11 security
features easier to configure. WPS automatically
configures the network name (SSID) and WPA security
key for your device and for wireless clients.
Important:
Pressing the WPS button enables Wi-Fi security
settings, requiring a security key to connect to the
device. Each device has a unique security key
that can be found either on the battery cover or by
connecting your device via USB and going to
your landing page (page 7).
Note:
WPS does not apply to ad hoc Wi-Fi networks. It can be
used only with an access point.
