WRE6505 User’s Guide

The WPS button can be used to begin Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), reboot the WRE6505 while 
keeping it’s configuration or reboot the WRE6505 to factory default configuration.

Your WRE6505 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure 
wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi 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
