Configure Wireless Security Using WPS on both your

NBG4604 and Wireless Client

This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS.

This example uses the NBG4604 as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client

which connects to a notebook.

There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows

you how to do both.

•

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

- create a secure wireless network simply

by pressing a button. See

Section 5.2.1.1 on page 58

.This is the easier method.

•

PIN Configuration

- create a secure wireless network simply by entering a

wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the NBG4604’s

interface. See

Section 5.2.1.2 on page 59

. This is the more secure method,

since one device can authenticate the other.

5.2.1.1

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

1

Make sure that your NBG4604 is turned on and that it is within range of your

computer.

2

Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the

NWD210N) driver and utility in your notebook.

3

In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS

button (

Start

or

WPS

button)

4

Log into NBG4604’s Web Configurator and press the

Push Button

button in the

Network

>

Wireless Client

>

WPS Station

screen.

Note: Your NBG4604 has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button

in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can

use one or the other.

Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second

button within two minutes of pressing the first one.

The NBG4604 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This

may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with

the NBG4604 securely.

PIN Configuration

When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both NBG4604’s

configuration interface and the client’s utilities.

1

Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and

select the PIN method to get a PIN number.

2

Enter the PIN number to the

field in the

screen on the NBG4604.

3

Click the

Start

buttons (or button next to the PIN field) on both the wireless client

utility screen and the NBG4604’s

WPS Station

screen within two minutes.

The NBG4604 authenticates the wireless client and sends the proper configuration

settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless

client is able to communicate with the NBG4604 securely.
