The WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) feature allows wireless clients and the SBR-AC1200P to establish a wireless connection with a push of a button or by exchanging a pin code. WPS and WPA-PSK (Wireless Protected Access) wireless encryption are enabled by default in the SBR-AC1200P. WPS automatically generates a new strong WPA key for the Gateway and any WPS client devices on the wireless network. The SBR-AC1200P supports two types of WPS: PIN Entry and PBC (Push Button Connection). This document provides information on both:
The client's WPS must support hardware or software Push-button.
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. Â WEP wireless encryption is no longer available on firmware version 1.0.5-B05 and later.Â
