WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to quickly set up a secure network with other WPS
enabled devices, much more easily than manually configuring wireless connections and
security through a web configurator.
Your NWA570N uses WPS to set up a secure connection with other WPS enabled wireless
devices in two ways. The first method uses a push-button, either physically located on the
housing of the wireless devices, or provided as a feature in the device’s software. The second
method relies on the exchanging of PINs (Personal Identification Numbers) between wireless
devices. Both methods use the WPA(2) security standard, which uses a pre-shared key to
encrypt network traffic.
Click Network > WPS. The following screen displays. Use this screen to configure WPS on
your NWA570N.
