The WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) feature allows wireless clients and the SBR-AC3200P 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-AC3200P. WPS automatically generates a new strong WPA key for the Gateway and any WPS client devices on the wireless network. The SBR-AC3200P 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. WEP wireless encryption is no longer available on firmware version 1.0.7-B05 and later.

Check the status on the wireless client WiFi utility to verify the connection.
NOTE: Repeat steps 1 - 2 if the WPS connection was unsuccessful.
