Set Up a Wireless Network with WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses
the NBG6716 as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCI card).
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 8.2.1 on page 56
.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 NBG6716’s interface. See
Section 8.2.2 on page 57
. This
is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.
8.2.1
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1
Make sure that your NBG6716 is turned on. Make sure the
WIFI
button (at the side panel of the
NBG6716) is pushed in, and that the device is placed within range of your notebook.
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 NBG6716’s Web Configurator and press the
Push Button
in the
Configuration >
Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G > WPS Station
screen.

Note: Your NBG6716 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 NBG6716 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 NBG6716 securely.
The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a
button on both NBG6716 and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).

PIN Configuration
When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both NBG6716’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
PIN
field in the
Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G >
WPS Station
screen on the NBG6716.

NBG6716’s
WPS Station
screen within two minutes.
The NBG6716 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 NBG6716 securely.
The following figure shows you the example to set up wireless network and security on NBG6716
and wireless client (ex. NWD210N in this example) by using PIN method.

Open the
Status
screen. Verify your wireless and wireless security settings under
Device
Information
and check if the WLAN connection is up under
Interface Status
.
8.3.1
Configure Your Notebook
Note: We use the ZyXEL NWD2205 wireless adapter utility screens as an example for the
wireless client. The screens may vary for different models.
1
The NBG6716 supports IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n wireless
clients. Make sure that your notebook or computer’s wireless adapter supports one of these
standards.
2
Wireless adapters come with software sometimes called a “utility” that you install on your
computer. See your wireless adapter’s User’s Guide for information on how to do that.
3
After you’ve installed the utility, open it. If you cannot see your utility’s icon on your screen, go to
Start > Programs
and click on your utility in the list of programs that appears. The utility displays
a list of APs within range, as shown in the example screen below.
