NBG-416N User’s Guide

Your NBG-416N 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 
(recommended) 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

You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall.

Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of 
the device. 

Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.

If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the 
anchors into the full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. 
Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.

If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do 
not insert the screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.
