Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for 
securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well
as the “Add New Device” processes. The process is just as easy as 
pressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering 
an 8-digit code.
Enable/disable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.

Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This 
becomes the router’s PIN. You can then copy this 
PIN to the user interface of the wireless client.
Select whether the router is the
