Does the WPS function have any special requirement on the wireless encryption settings of the HG536a? The WPS function can be used only when the security mode of the WLAN is set to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK and the SSID is set to SSID1. It is recommended that you set the security mode to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK for the WLAN. If my computer fails to connect to a WLAN after I press and hold the WPS button, what should I do? Step 1 Ensure that only one computer is trying to connect to the HG536a through the WPS function at a particular moment. Step 2 On the HG536a, ensure that the wireless network function and the WPS function implemented through the PBC method are enabled. Note that on some wireless HG536as, the WPS function is forcibly disabled if the WEP encryption is used for accessing a wireless network. Step 3 Ensure that the security mode of the WLAN is set to WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK and the SSID is set to SSID1. Note that the WPS function of the HG536a is forcibly disabled if the WEP encryption is used for accessing a WLAN. Step 4 Check the positions of the wireless HG536a and the PCs. Ensure that they are far from electrical appliances, such as a microwave oven or a refrigerator, that generate strong magnetic or electric fields. It is recommended that you place the HG536a and the PC in an open space. Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, passing through too many obstacles such as cement or wooden walls can affect the transmission of radio signals of a WLAN. 35
