WPA Encryption
WiFi Protected Access was designed to provide improved data encryption, perceived as weak in
WEP, and to provide user authentication, largely nonexistent in WEP. There are two versions, WPA
and WPA2; both are supported by the Access Point. WPA includes the option of using a Pre-Shared
Key similar to WEP, or a RADIUS server can be used for verification. In addition, WPA2-Auto is
offered for user convenience.

WPS Security
The Conceptronic C300BRS4 supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). WPS is a standard for easy and
secure establishment of a wireless network. With WPS you can setup and protect your wireless
network in just a few easy steps.
Note:
To use WPS with the C300BRS4, you need to have Wireless Clients which supports WPS. If you
have 1 or more Wireless Clients without WPS support, it is advised to secure your network
manually using the Setup Wizard.
Note:
For more (technical) information about WPS, you can visit the following website:
The C300BRS4 supports 2 ways to activate and establish a WPS connection:
-
Push Button technology
-
Pin Code technology
WPS – Push Button technology
The WPS Push Button technology requires a (virtual) button on your Wireless Client to establish a
connection between the C300BRS4 and your Wireless Client.
Some Wireless Clients work with a real button to activate the WPS Push Button technology; some
Wireless Clients use a software-based virtual button.
Follow the steps below to activate and establish a WPS connection with the Push Button technology:
A.
Press the WPS Button at the front of the C300BRS4 until the WPS LED blinks.
B.
Press the WPS Button at your Wireless Client. This can be a hardware button or a virtual
button in the software of your Wireless Client.
The C300BRS4 will activate WPA security over your wireless network and accepts the wireless
connection of your Wireless Client.
Note:
The C300BRS4 will keep the WPS authentication active for 120 seconds. During this process,
the WPS LED will blink. If there is no connection in these 120 seconds, the LED will turn off
and the WPS authentication process is stopped.
If the WPS feature is not used earlier, the wireless network will still be unencrypted.
If the authentication of the Wireless Client is succeeded, the WPS LED will burn steady blue for 5
minutes. After these 5 minutes, the LED will turn off.
Your Wireless Client is now connected to the C300BRS4 and your network is secured with WPA
Encryption.
You can add more Wireless WPS Clients without loosing the connection to previous Wireless WPS
Clients.
If you want to add more Wireless WPS clients, repeat step
A
&
B
.
Note:
The WPA Key generated by the C300BRS4 is random.
