TG862G/CT & TG862R: WPS PBC Setup

The WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) feature allows wireless clients and the TG862 to establish a wireless connection with a push of a button or by exchanging pin code.  WPS and WPA-PSK (Wireless Protected Access) wireless encryption are enabled by default in the TG862.  WPS automatically generates a new strong WPA key for the Gateway and any WPS client devices on the wireless network.  The TG862 supports two types of WPS: PIN Entry and PBC (Push Button Connection).  This document provides information on:

• Establishing WPS PBC connection
• Verifying WPS connection

NOTE: The wireless clients must meet the following requirements for a WPS connection

Requirements

• Wireless client must support WPS
• 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.

To Establish WPS Push-button Connection

1. Push the wireless client's WPS Push-button (PBC).
2. Push the WPS button on the top panel of the TG862.
   
   NOTE: When the WPS button is pressed, it may stay lit for 5 minutes (regardless of whether or not the connection was successful).  Please wait until the light turns off before retrying or connecting another WPS product.
