Use the WPS Wizard to Add a Device to the WiFi Network
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or WiFi device to the cable data
gateway’s network without entering the WiFi network passphrase or key. Instead, you use a
WPS button or enter a PIN to connect.
If you use the push button method, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must
provide either a physical button or a software button. If you use the PIN method, you must
know the PIN of the WiFi device that you are trying to connect.
WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your cable data gateway network is open (no
WiFi security is set, which is not the default setting for the cable data gateway), connecting
with WPS automatically sets WP
A + WPA2 WiFi security on the cable data gateway network
and generates a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase (see View or Change
the Basic Settings for the Main WiFi Network on page 31).
