SBG10: WPS PBC Setup (2024)

The WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) feature allows W-Fi clients and the SBG10 to establish a wireless connection with a push of a button or by exchanging a pin code. WPS and WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) encryptionare enabled by default in the SBG10. WPS automatically generates a new strong WPA key for the SBG10 and any WPS client devices on the wireless network. The SBG10 supports two types of WPS: PIN Entry and PBC (Push Button Connection). This document provides information on both:

• EnableWPS PBC
• EstablishWPS Push-Button Connection

Requirements:

• Wi-Fi client must support WPS.
• The client's WPS must support hardware or software Push-button.

NOTE 1: Not all Wi-Fi client devices support WPS. Please refer to the Wi-Fi client's documentation.

NOTE 2: Older, non-WPS clients can still be added to the network by configuring them with WEP or WPA-PSK encryption.
