, you add another wireless client to the network. You know that
Client 1
supports
registrar mode, but it is better to use
AP1
for the WPS handshake with the new client since
you must connect to the access point anyway in order to use the network. In this case,
AP1
must be the registrar, since it is configured (it already has security information for the
network).
AP1
supplies the existing security information to

In step 3, you add another access point (

) to your network.
AP2
is out of range of
AP1

you cannot use
AP1
for the WPS handshake with the new access point. However, you know
that
Client 2
supports the registrar function, so you use it to perform the WPS handshake
instead.
