Tips

What is the WPS?

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect wire- less LAN devices (such as smartphone, PC, TR7A, etc) to a wireless router. Normally, when connecting a wireless LAN device to the network, you need to set the name (SSID) and password (encryption key) of the router manually. However, if your device and router support WPS, you can complete the wireless network setting with just a push of a button. Button name of the WPS may differ depending on the router.
