WPS Setup
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS is used
to exchange the AP setting with Station and configure Ap settings. This feature greatly simplifies the
steps needed to create a Wi-Fi network for a residential or an office setting. The commonly known
PIN method
is supported to configure WPS.
WPS:
Select enable to enable WPS function. Please note that WPS can only be available when
WPA2-PSK or OPEN mode is configured.
Note:
1) WPS feature is only available when in WPA2 or OPEN mode in security settings.
2) Here wireless can be configured as
Registrar
and
Enrollee
mode respectively. When AP is
configured as Registrar, you should select “Configured” in the WPS AP Mode below, and default
WPS AP Mode is “Configured”. When AP is configured as Enrollee, the WPS AP Mode below
should be changed to “Unconfigured”. Follow the following steps.
