2-7-5 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between

wireless network clients and this wireless router. You don’t have to select encryption

wireless client, you only have to press a button on wireless client and this wireless

router, and the WPS will do the rest for you.

detailed instructions are listed follow:

Please click ‘WPS’ menu on the left of web management interface, under the
