Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well

as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures.

The process is just as easy as pressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin

Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting of

WPA2 is automatically used.
