3.14.5 WPS

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

provides easy procedure to make network connection

between wireless station and wireless access point (vigor router) with the encryption of

WPA and WPA2.

Note:

Such function is available for the wireless station with WPS supported.

It is the simplest way to build connection between wireless network clients and vigor router.

Users do not need to select any encryption mode and type any long encryption passphrase to

setup a wireless client every time. He/she only needs to press a button on wireless client, and

WPS will connect for client and router automatically.

There are two methods to do network connection through WPS between AP and Stations:

pressing the

Start PBC

button or using

PIN Code

.

button of network

card.

z

If you want to use PIN code, you have to know the PIN code specified in wireless

client. Then provide the PIN code of the wireless client you wish to connect to the

vigor router.

For WPS is supported in WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK mode, if you do not choose such mode

in

Wireless LAN>>Security

, you will see the following message box.

Please click
