The WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) feature allows wireless clients and the SBG6782 to establish a wireless connection with a push of a button or by exchanging a pin code.  WPS and WPA2-PSK (Wireless Protected Access) wireless encryption is enabled by default in the SBG6782.  WPS automatically generates a new strong WPA key for the Gateway and any WPS client devices on the wireless network. Â
The SBG6782 supports two types of WPS: PIN Entry and PBC (Push Button Connection). There are two methods to establish a connection using WPS PIN Entry:
- Adding the SBG6782's generated WPS PIN into the WPS client Â
- Adding a WPS client's pin into the SBG6782
This document describes using one of two methods to establish a connection using WPS PIN Entry.
Requirements
- Wireless clients must support WPS
- The client's WPS must support hardware or software Pin Entry
NOTE 1: Not all client wireless devices support WPS.  Please refer to the wireless client's documentation.
NOTE 2: Older, non-WPS clients can still be added to the network by configuring them with WEP or WPA-PSK.
