2-7-5 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build a secure connection
between wireless users and the Smart Repeater. You do not have to select the
specific wireless security encryption mode and input a long encryption
passphrase each time a wireless user connects to your network.
Instead you
only have to press a button on wireless user’s device (assuming WPS is
supported by that device) and push the ‘WPS’ button on the back of the
HW2R1, and WPS will automatically configure your wireless security settings
and wireless connection.
This Smart Repeater supports two types of WPS modes: Push-Button
Configuration (PBC), and PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to push
a specific button on the device of the wireless user (usually titled WPS) to start
the WPS mode.
In addition the HW2R1 must be activated for WPS mode for
the connection to work. You can push Reset/WPS button of the Smart

Repeater, or click ‘Start PBC’ button in the web configuration interface to do
this; if you want to use a PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the
wireless device and switch it to WPS mode, then provide the PIN code of the
wireless device you wish to connect to the Smart Repeater. The detailed
instructions are below:
Please click ‘Wireless Home’ from the left side menu, then click ‘WPS’, and the
following message will be displayed:
Here are descriptions of every setup items:

you’ll see ‘Configured’ message here. If wireless
security function has not been set, you’ll see ‘Not
configured’.
Self PIN code: This is the WPS PIN code of this
wireless Smart Repeater. This code is useful when you
need to build wireless connection by WPS with other
WPS-enabled wireless devices.
SSID: The SSID of the Smart Repeater will be
displayed here.
Authentication Mode: The wireless security
authentication mode of the Smart Repeater will be
displayed here. If you do not enable the security
function of the Smart Repeater before WPS is activated,
the Smart Repeater will automatically set the security to
WPA (AES) and generate a set passphrase key for a
WPS connection.
Passphrase Key: The wireless security key of the Smart
Repeater will be displayed here.

There are ‘Registrar’ and ‘Enrollee’ modes for the WPS
connection. When ‘Registrar’ is enabled, the wireless
clients will follow the Smart Repeater’s wireless settings
for WPS connection. When ‘Enrolle’ mode is enabled,
the Smart Repeater will follow the wireless settings of
wireless client for WPS connection.

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 security keys.
2. A complicated (combination of numbers, alphabets, and even symbols)
WEP key and WPA passphrase is much safer than simple and short ones.
Remember that the wireless client is capable of keeping the key or
passphrase for you, so you only have to input the complicated key or
passphrase once.
3. You can hide the ESSID of this Smart Repeater by setting the ‘Broadcast
ESSID’ option to ‘Disable’. Your wireless Smart Repeater 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.
