CHAPTER 5 Tutorials 5.1 Overview This chapter provides tutorials for your WRE2205 as follows: • Connecting a Wireless Client using WPS • Push Button Configuration (PBC) • PIN Configuration • Connecting the WRE2205 to an AP • Connecting to an AP with the WPS PBC Method • Connecting to an AP with the WPS PIN Method • Selecting an AP from an Automatically Detected List • Selecting an AP by Manually Entering Security Information 5.2 Connecting a Wireless Client using WPS This section gives you an example of how to connect a client to the WRE2205 using WPS. There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do both. • Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network by simply pressing the WPS button twice on the WRE2205's front panel or by clicking the Start PBC button in the Network > Wireless LAN > WPS Station screen. See Section 5.2.1 on page 29. 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 WRE2205's interface. See Section 5.2.2 on page 31. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other. Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter or PCI card). 5.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC) This section gives you an example of how to set up a wireless network using WPS PBC. This example uses the WRE2205 as the registrar and NWD210N as the wireless client in a notebook. 1 Make sure that your WRE2205 is turned on and that it is within range of your computer.
