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

Page 77 / 134

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:

function of this wireless Smart Repeater is properly set,

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.

Config Mode (3)

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.
