Use WPS to wirelessly connect the notebook to the VDSL Router (see
Section 2.5.2 on page 24
) or
use the notebook’s wireless client to search for the VDSL Router (see
Section 2.5.3 on page 27
).
2.5.2
Using WPS
This example uses WPS to connect a ZyXEL NWD210N wireless client to the VDSL Router’s wireless
network.
Note:
One way to see if the wireless client (a notebook, smartphone, tablet, wireless USB adapter,
or wireless PCMCIA card for example) supports WPS is to look for the WPS logo
:
It covers two WPS methods to set up the wireless client settings:
•
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
- simply press a button. This is the easier method.
•
PIN Configuration
- enter a wireless client’s Personal Identification Number (PIN) in the VDSL
Router.
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1
Make sure that your VDSL Router is on and your notebook is within range of the wireless signal.
2
Make sure that you have installed the wireless client driver and utility in your notebook.

In the wireless client utility, go to the WPS setting page. Enable WPS and press the
Wifi
button
(
Start
or
Wifi
button).
4
Push and hold the
Wifi/WPS
button located on the VDSL Router’s rear panel for 10 seconds.
Note: It doesn’t matter which device’s button you press first. You must press the second
button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
Note: The WPS button in the Web Configurator screens also has the same function as the
one on the VDSL Router rear panel: use either.
The VDSL Router sends the wireless network settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two
minutes. Afterwards the wireless client can communicate with the VDSL Router securely.
The following figure shows an example of how to set up a wireless network and its security by
pressing a button on both VDSL Router and wireless client.
Example WPS Process: PBC Method
PIN Configuration
When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both the VDSL Router’s web
configurator and the wireless client’s utility.
1
Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and select the PIN method
to get a PIN number.
