Section 3 - Conguration

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.

Locking the wireless security settings prevents the settings from

being changed by the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature of the router.

Devices can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi Protected

Setup. However, the settings of the network will not change once

this option is checked.

A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to an

existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN may be

printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security, a new PIN can

be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the

Administrator (“admin” account) can change or reset the PIN.

Shows the current value of the router’s PIN.

Restore the default PIN of the router.

Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the router’s

PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface of the registrar.

This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless network.

The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual conguration, prompt you to enter the PIN for the

device, or ask you to press the conguration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a conguration button,

you can add it to the network by pressing the conguration button on the device and then on the router within 60 seconds. The status LED on

the router will ash three times if the device has been successfully added to the network.

There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A registrar only allows

devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the device. The router acts

as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplied method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well as the “Add New

Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certied it across dierent products as well as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing

a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use

are quite benecial, while the highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
