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 mode and input a long encryption passphrase every time

when you need to setup a 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.

This wireless router supports two types of WPS: Push-Button Configuration

(PBC), and PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to push a specific

button on the wireless client to start WPS mode, and switch this wireless

router to WPS mode too. You can push Reset/WPS button of this wireless

router, or click ‘Start PBC’ button in the web configuration interface to do

this; if you want to use PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of wireless

client and switch it to WPS mode, then provide the PIN code of the wireless

client you wish to connect to this wireless router. The detailed instructions

are listed follow:

Please click ‘2.4GHz Wireless’ or ‘5GHz Wireless’ menu on the left of web

management interface, then click ‘WPS’, and the following message will be

displayed on your web browser:

2-7-6 Security Tips for Wireless Network

Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your

wireless network:

1.

Never use simple words (like school, apple and computer) as WEP

encryption or WPA passphrase.

2.

A complicated (the combination of number, alphabet, even symbol, and

long enough) WEP key and WPA passphrase is much safer than simple

and short ones. Remember that the wireless client is capable to keep the

key or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the complicated key

or passphrase once. It’s not too trouble but will greatly improve security

level.

3.

You can hide the ESSID of this router by set ‘Broadcast ESSID’ option to

‘Disable’. Your wireless router will not be found by other people in

proximity if they’re just using the AP scanning function of their wireless

client, and this can reduce the chance of being intruded.

4.

Use ‘Access Control’ function described in section 2-7-4, so those people

who are not in your list will not be able to connect to your network.
