2.2.2 Using WPS Connect
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the latest wireless network
technology which makes wireless network setup become very
simple. If you have WPS-enabled wireless access point, and you
want to establish a secure connection to it, you don‟t have to
configure the wireless access point and setup data encryption by
yourself. All you have to do is to go to the WPS setup page of this
wireless card, click a button, and then press a specific button or
enter a set of 8-digit code on the wireless access point you wish to
establish a secure connection - just three simple steps!
For older wireless access points, it‟s possible to perform a
firmware upgrade to become a WPS-enabled access point. Since
they may not have a hardware button to press for WPS setup, you
can use an alternative WPS setup method - input the pin code.
Every WPS-compatible wireless network card support pin code
configuration method; you can just input the code to wireless
access point, and the wireless access point and wireless network
card will do the rest for you.
This wireless network card is compatible with WPS. To use this
function, the wireless access point you wish to connect to must
support WPS function too. Now, please follow the following
instructions to establish secure connection between WPS-enabled
wireless access point and your wireless network card.
This wireless network card supports 2 kinds of WPS: PIN code
and Push-Button.
Please follow the following instructions to setup WPS:
1. Right-click Client configuration utility icon, and click „Open
Config Utility‟.

10 / 15
2. Click „Wi-Fi Protect Setup‟ menu.
3. You can use PIN code or Push-Button configuration, and
WPS-compatible wireless access point must use the same type of
WPS. For instructions on setup each type of WPS, see next 2
chapters for detailed instructions.
PIN Code
To use PIN Code, please click „Pin Input Config (PIN)‟ button:

11 / 15
You‟ll be prompted to select an access point you wish to connect.
If you know its SSID, click „Yes‟, otherwise click „No‟.
If you select „Yes‟, a list of all WPS-compatible AP nearby will be
displayed; you can click „Refresh‟ to rescan, then select an AP and
click „Select‟ button.
If you select „No‟, wireless network card will prompt you to enter
8-digit PIN code into your AP, without selecting an AP in advance.

12 / 15
After you select „Yes‟ or „No‟ in previous step, network card will
attempt to connect to WPS-compatible AP, and an 8-digit number
will appear. Please input this number to AP‟s configuration menu
within 2 minutes, and network card will establish secure
connection with AP automatically.
To stop this procedure before connection is established, click
„Cancel‟.
Push Button
To use Push-Button WPS configuration, please click „Push
Button Config (PBC)‟ button. This is the easiest way to establish
secure connection by WPS, but if there‟re more than one
WPS-compatible AP using Push-Button config, please use PIN Code
instead.
