Connecting easily to a wireless LAN (WPS Setup)

Solution


Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a way to easily make the various settings for connecting a device to a wireless LAN using infrastructure mode. The settings for things like the
SSID and the encryption method, which are necessary for making connections, can be set automatically.
Among WPS-compatible devices, there are those that use a push-button approach to making settings and others that use a PIN code.
This section will use the push-button approach to explain the steps involved in connecting to a computer using infrastructure mode.
