Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless home network and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi‑Fi technology. It is no longer necessary to configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network devices. Note: WPS supports only networks that communicate through access points (wireless routers).
