Use WPS to add a computer to the extender's WiFi network WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or WiFi device to the extender'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 include 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 extender network is open (no WiFi security is set), connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA + WPA2 WiFi security on the extender network and generates a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase on the WiFi Settings page (for more information, see View WiFi settings on page 25). Use WPS with the push button method For you to use the push button method to connect a WiFi device to the extender's WiFi network, the WiFi device that you are trying to connect must include a physical WPS button or an onscreen WPS button that you can click.
