Two WPS configuration methods are available when you click to display

this screen: PBC (push-button configuration) and PIN Code (an option

for older APs not equipped with the WPS push button but which may be

transformed into a WPS-enabled access point through a firmware upgrade).

1. From the “Config Mode” drop-down menu, select “Enrollee,” then press

the WPS button (or whichever button is used to activate the WPS

Standby mode) on your wireless access point. NOTE: Refer to your

wireless access point’s user manual for the specific procedure(s).
Alternatively, you can select “Registrar,” in which case this adapter

will wait for other WPS-enabled access points to send WPS pairing

requests. NOTE: Refer to your wireless access point’s user manual

to understand how to send WPS requests.
2. Before you start to establish the wireless connection using WPS, you

can click “Rescan” to search again for WPS-enabled access points

near you in order to make sure the WPS function of your access point

is activated. All access points with the WPS function enabled will be

displayed in the WPS AP List field. If the access point you want to

connect to isn’t listed, click “Rescan” a few more times.
3. Begin the PBC pairing procedure on the access point side (again,

refer to your access point’s manufacturer’s instructions), then click

“PBC” to establish a wireless connection via WPS. NOTE: This may

require as much as a full minute to complete. When the “WPS status

is connected successfully” message displays, the connection between

the adapter and the access point has been successfully established

through WPS and information about the access point you connected

to will be displayed.
4. Should the WPS function fail, you may find that clicking “PBC” a few

more times will result in a connection. When an AP is connected, you

can click “Disconnect” to break the connection, or you can highlight/

select another WPS-enabled wireless access point when more than

one is found, then click “Connect” to establish that connection. You

can also click “Rotate” to select the next AP on the list for connection.
