The WPS Button

2.1

Overview

Your NBG5715 supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure

wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to

configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both

devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).

Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its

configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device

to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two

minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set

up a secure network by themselves.

For more information on using WPS, see

Chapter 9 on page 57
