wireless device is chose, you will be presented with two common WPS setup
options:
Personal Identification Number (PIN):
The wireless device that supports
WPS may have an alphanumeric PIN, and if entered in this field the AP will
establish a link to the client. Click Connect to complete setup and connect to
the client.
Push Button Configuration (PBC):
for wireless devices that support PBC,
press and hold down on this button and within 2 minutes, click the PBC
connect button. The AP will detect the wireless device and establish a link
to the client.
You need to enable at least one AP with WPA/WPA2 security and also enable WPS
in the
Advanced > Wireless Settings > WPS
page to use the WPS wizard.
4.1.3
Manual Wireless Network Setup
This button on the Wizard page will link to the
Setup> Wireless Settings> Access
Points
page. The manual options allow you to create new APs or modify the
parameters of APs created by the Wizard.
4.2 Wireless Profiles
Setup > Wireless Settings > Profiles
The profile allows you to assign the security type, encryption and authentication to
use when connecting the AP to a wireless client. The default mode is “open”, i.e. no
security. This mode is insecure as it allows any compatible wireless clients to connect
to an AP configured with this security profile.
To create a new profile, use a unique profile name to identify the combination of
settings. Configure a unique SSID that will be the identifier used by the clients to
communicate to the AP using this profile. By choosing to broadcast the SSID,
compatible wireless clients
within range of the AP can detect this profile’s
availability.
The AP offers all advanced 802.11 security modes, including WEP, WPA, WPA2 and
WPA+WPA2 options. The security of the Access point is configured by the Wireless
Security Type section:
Open: se
lect this option to create a public “open” network to allow unauthenticated
devices to access this wireless gateway.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): this option requires a static (pre-shared) key to
be shared between the AP and wireless client. Note that WEP does not support
802.11n data rates; is it appropriate for legacy 802.11 connections.
