Chapter 5 Tutorials • Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See Section 5.3.1 on page 45.This is the easier method. • PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the NBG-418N v2's interface. See Section 5.3.2 on page 46. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other. 5.3.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC) 1 Make sure that your NBG-418N v2 is turned on and that it is within range of your computer. 2 Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and utility in your notebook. 3 In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (Start or WPS button) 4 Log into NBG-418N v2's Web Configurator and press Push Button in the Network > Wireless LAN > WPS Station screen. Note: Your NBG-418N v2 has a WPS/RESET button located on its back panel, as well as a WPS button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one or the other. Note: It doesn't matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the first one. The NBG-418N v2 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the NBG-418N v2 securely. The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a button on both NBG-418N v2 and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).
