In step 2, you add another wireless client to the network. You know that Client 1 supports 
registrar mode, but it is better to use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new client since 
you must connect to the access point anyway in order to use the network. In this case, AP1 
must be the registrar, since it is configured (it already has security information for the 
network). AP1 supplies the existing security information to Client 2.

In step 3, you add another access point (AP2) to your network. AP2 is out of range of AP1, so 
you cannot use AP1 for the WPS handshake with the new access point. However, you know 
that Client 2 supports the registrar function, so you use it to perform the WPS handshake 
instead.
