SBR-AC1750: WPS Pin Entry Setup

WPS, pin, WPS Add Client

How do I establish a WPS wireless connection using WPS PIN?

The WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) feature allows wireless clients and the SBR-AC1750 to establish a wireless connection with a push of a button or by exchanging pin code.  WPS and WPA2-PSK (Wireless Protected Access) wireless encryption are enabled by default in the SBR-AC1750.  WPS automatically generates a new strong WPA key for the router and any WPS client devices on wireless network.  

The SBR-AC1750 supports two types of WPS: PIN Entry and PBC (Push Button Connection).  There are two methods to establish connection using WPS PIN Entry:

• Adding a WPS client's pin into the SBR-AC1750
• Adding the SBR-AC1750's WPS PIN into the WPS client  

This document describes using one of two methods to establish a connection using WPS PIN Entry.

Requirements

• Wireless client 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 WPA-PSK.
