TRENDnet User's Guide Connect wireless devices using WPS WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS, you can use this feature to easily add wireless devices to your network. Note: You will not be able to use WPS if you set the SSID Broadcast setting to Disabled or if you are using WEP security. Please note that WPS functionality will only be available when the Device Mode is set to Access Point mode under Main > Device Mode. There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to your network. • Push Button Configuration (PBC) method o (RECOMMENDED) Hardware Push Button method-with an external button located physically on your access point and on your client device o WPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in access point management page • PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located in access point management page Note: Refer to your wireless device documentation for details on the operation of WPS. Recommended Hardware Push Button (PBC) Method Note: It is recommended that a wireless key (passphrase or password) is created before connecting clients using the PBC method. By default your access point is preconfigured with a wireless encryption key. If no wireless key is defined when connecting via PBC, the access point will automatically create an encryption key that is 64 characters long. This 64 character key will then have to be used if one has to connect computers to the access point using the traditional connection method. To add a wireless device to your network, simply push the WPS button on the wireless device you are connecting (consult client device User's Guide for length of time), then push and hold the WPS button located on your access point for 3 seconds and release it. The WPS LED will blink to indicate WPS has been activated on your access point. (See "Product Hardware Features" on page 2) For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for each additional device.
