Wi-Fi Protected Setup

If you have client devices, such as a wireless adapter, that support Wi-Fi Protected Setup,

then you can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to automatically configure wireless security for your

wireless network(s).

There are three methods available. Use the method that applies to the client device you

are configuring.

Note: Wi-Fi Protected Setup configures one client device at a time. Repeat the instructions

for each client device that supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

Method #1

Use this method if your client device has a Wi-Fi Protected Setup button.

1. Click or press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the client device. (If Wi-Fi Protected

Setup is an on-screen option, then select it.)

2. Click the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on this screen.

3. After the client device has been configured, click OK. Then refer back to your client device

or its documentation for further instructions.

Method #2

Use this method if your client device has a Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN number.

1. Enter the client PIN number in the PIN field on this screen (the Router’s Wi-Fi Protected

Setup screen).

2. Click Register.

Method #3

Use this method if your client device asks for the Router’s PIN number.

1. Enter the PIN number listed on this screen. (It is also listed on the label on the bottom of the

Router.)

2. After the client device has been configured, click OK. Then refer back to your client device

or its documentation for further instructions.

At the bottom of the screen, status information for your wireless security is displayed:

Wi-Fi Protected Setup Simple-Config-State The status of the Wi-Fi Protected Setup

feature is displayed. The default is Not configured. After the Router has been configured, the

status changes to “Configured”.

Network Name (SSID) The name of the wireless network is displayed.

Security The security method of the wireless network is displayed.

Encryption The encryption method, such as TKIP or AES, is displayed.

Passphrase The passphrase for the wireless security method is displayed. It acts like a

password for access to the wireless network. (For WPA security methods, the passphrase is

also known as a WPA shared key.)

Note: If you have client devices that do not support Wi-Fi Protected Setup, note the

wireless settings, and then manually configure those client devices.
