2.4.1 How to connect your wireless client via WPS
WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless clients to your local network in a swift and easy way, without
the need to enter any of your wireless settings (network name, wireless network key, encryption type).
Requirements
Your wireless client must support WPS. Check the documentation of your wireless client for this.
Your Gateway must use WPAWPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) encryption (default encryption) or no encryption. WPS with WEP
encryption is not possible.
WPS methods
The following WPS methods are supported by your Gateway:
Push Button Configuration (PBC):
You have to put both the wireless client and the Gateway in registration mode by pushing a hardware or software button.
PIN code entry on the wireless client:
You have to enter the Gateway’s WPS PIN code on the wireless client. For more information, see
“Adding a wireless client
using WPS PIN entry on the wireless client” on page 31
.
PIN code entry on the Gateway:
You have to enter the wireless client’s WPS PIN code on the Admin Tool. For more information, see
“Adding a wireless
client using WPS PIN entry on the Gateway” on page 32
.
Procedure for PBC
Proceed as follows:
1
On the Gateway, press and hold the
WPS
button for at least 5 seconds and then release it:
2
The
WPS
button LED starts blinking. This indicates that the Gateway is now searching for wireless clients that are in
registration mode. You now have two minutes to start WPS on your wireless client.
3
Start WPS on your wireless client.
4
The Gateway is now exchanging the security settings.
5
Your wireless client prompts you that it is now connected to the access point.
Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 have native WPS support.
