2.4.1 How to connect your wireless client via WPS

WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless clients to your local network in a swift and easy way, without

the need to enter any of your wireless settings (network name, wireless network key, encryption type).

Requirements



Your wireless client must support WPS. Check the documentation of your wireless client for this.



Your Gateway must use WPAWPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) encryption (default encryption) or no encryption. WPS with WEP

encryption is not possible.

WPS methods

The following WPS methods are supported by your Gateway:



Push Button Configuration (PBC):

You have to put both the wireless client and the Gateway in registration mode by pushing a hardware or software button.



PIN code entry on the wireless client:

You have to enter the Gateway’s WPS PIN code on the wireless client. For more information, see

“Adding a wireless client

using WPS PIN entry on the wireless client” on page 31

.



PIN code entry on the Gateway:

You have to enter the wireless client’s WPS PIN code on the Admin Tool. For more information, see

“Adding a wireless

client using WPS PIN entry on the Gateway” on page 32

.

Procedure for PBC

Proceed as follows:

1

On the Gateway, press and hold the

WPS

button for at least 5 seconds and then release it:

2

The

WPS

button LED starts blinking. This indicates that the Gateway is now searching for wireless clients that are in

registration mode. You now have two minutes to start WPS on your wireless client.

3

Start WPS on your wireless client.

4

The Gateway is now exchanging the security settings.

5

Your wireless client prompts you that it is now connected to the access point.

Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 have native WPS support.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble connecting your wireless client via WPS, this may be caused by one of the following reasons:



WPS can not be correctly executed:

“2.4.2 How to manually connect your wireless client” on

page 20

.



Your wireless client is out of range:

If possible move your wireless client closer to your Gateway or use a wireless repeater to extend the range of your wireless

network.



Another device is interfering on the selected wireless channel:

Change the wireless channel of your Gateway. For more information, see

“Change the wireless channel” on page 54
