WPS WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. This feature greatly simplifies the steps needed to create a Wi-Fi networks for a residential or an office setting. WPS supports 2 types of configuration methods which are commonly known among consumers: PIN Method & PBC Method.
Wi-Fi Network Setup PIN Method: Configure AP as Registrar 1. Jot down the client’s Pin (eg. 16837546). 2. Enter the Enrollee’s PIN number and then press Start. 3. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee, press the WPS button on the top bar, select the AP (eg. wlan-ap) from the WPS AP List column. Then press the PIN button located on the middle left of the page to run the scan.
4. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar.
PIN Method: Configure AP as Enrollee 1. In the WPS configuration page, change the Role to Enrollee. Then press Start. 2. Jot down the WPS PIN (eg. 25879810). 3. Launch the wireless client’s WPS utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Registrar. Enter the PIN number in the PIN Code column then choose the correct AP (eg. wlan-ap) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PIN button to run the scan.
4. The router’s (AP’s) SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the registrar. 5. Now to make sure that the setup is correctly done, cross check to see if the SSID and the security setting of the registrar setting match with the parameters found on both Wireless Configuration and Wireless Security Configuration page.

PBC Method: 1. Press the PBC button of the AP. 2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS Utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee. Then press the WPS button and choose the correct AP (eg. wlan-ap) from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PBC button to run the scan.
3. When the PBC button is pushed, a wireless communication will be established between your router and the PC. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the router.
Wi-Fi Network Setup with Windows Vista WCN: 1. Jot down the AP PIN from the Web (eg. 25879810). 2. Access the Wireless configuration of the web GUI. Set the WPS State to Unconfigured then click Apply. 3. In your Vista operating system, access the Control Panel page, then select Network and Internet > View Network Computers and Devices. Double click on the BiPAC 8200N icon and enter the AP PIN in the column provided then press Next.
