by flashing.
Use of the WPS process implies either WPA or WPA2.
For that reason, keep in mind the following automatic
settings depending on the encryption standard (also
refer to 6.4.1 Device security), i.e.
쎲 if under WLAN configuration  Access Point
No encryption or WEP is selected in advance,
WPA2 is set automatically. The newly generated
password is displayed under Wi-Fi configura-
tion  Access Point in the Key field.
쎲 if under WLAN configuration  Access Point
WEP is selected in advance, WPA2 is set auto-
matically. The newly generated password is dis-
played under WLAN configuration  Access
Point in the Key field.
쎲 if under WLAN configuration  Access Point
WPA is selected in advance, this setting remains
with the previously assigned password.
쎲 if under WLAN configuration  Access Point
WPA2 is selected in advance, this setting remains
with the previously assigned password.
