Forget the encrypted password to make your wireless network more secure

What is the most important thing to use wireless networks? The answer is, of course, encryption for wireless networks. What are the most feared problems when using wireless networks? Naturally, I forgot my wireless password ....... Yes, those complicated and lengthy wireless encryption passwords are hard to remember. Is there a good way to get a secure wireless network connection without memorizing these annoying passwords? Of course, the answer is yes. WPS "one-click encryption" can help you implement it.

What is WPS?

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup, Wi-Fi protection settings) is an optional authentication project organized by the WiFi alliance. It is mainly designed to simplify wireless network settings and wireless network encryption. Generally, when you create a wireless network, the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless encryption method are set to ensure the security of the wireless network, that is, "Hide SSID" and set "wireless network connection password ".

When these settings are complete and the client needs to connect to the wireless network, you must manually add the network name (SSID) and enter a lengthy wireless encryption password, this is a tedious process for many users. With WPS "one-click encryption", this process becomes very simple. We only need to press the WPS key on the wireless router to complete the wireless network connection easily and quickly, in addition, WPA2-level encrypted wireless networks allow client users to experience wireless life quickly and securely.

WPS advantages:

WPS can help client users automatically configure the network name (SSID) and wireless encryption key. For ordinary users, secure connections can be achieved without understanding the concepts of SSID and security key, and users' security keys cannot be cracked by outsiders because they are randomly generated; the most important thing is that users do not need to remember lengthy wireless encryption passwords, avoiding the trouble of forgetting the passwords.

WPS Insufficiency:

As mentioned above, WPS was launched by the WiFi Organization Alliance.Optional certification itemsTherefore, the most basic requirement for Using WPS to simplify network security configuration isWireless access points (Wireless Routing) and client devices (wireless network cards) must pass WPS authentication.If one of them fails to pass the authentication, the WPS function cannot be implemented. Due to product differences between different vendors, access points and clients of different brands may also have compatibility issues, therefore, we recommend that you select products of the same brand.

How to Implement WPS "one-click encryption "?

The method to implement WPS "one-click encryption" is very simple. You can have two options: the Input PIN code method (Pin) and the Button Configuration method (Push Button Configuration, PBC ). The following describes the procedure of the two. Before introducing the specific procedure, we still have some preparation work to do. First, check whether your wireless router supports the WPS function. Second, we must install the application that comes with the wireless Nic, because the Windows system's wireless Nic configuration program cannot implement the WPS function. Therefore, we want to experience the convenience of WPS "one-click encryption,Be sure to confirm the above two points in advance. (PS: We will take D-Link DIR-602 wireless routing and D-Link DWA 140 wireless network card as an example for the actual demonstration)

Enter the PIN code to set the wireless network card first

First, let's open the D-Link DWA 140 wireless network card application, refresh the wireless network list, and then select the wireless network name (SSID) to be connected ), click "WPS. (For example)

Select network and click WPS

After you click the WPS button, a new interface will pop up. We need to select the WPS Implementation Method in it. (For example)

Select the WPS Implementation Method

Select "PIN (Personal Identification Number)" and click "Next ".

>
PIN code

On the new page, we will see a random PIN code. Remember this number and click "Next ".

Prepare connection

At this time, the system will prompt "connecting to the access point", that is, you need to connect to the wireless router. So what should we do? It's easy to enter this "PIN" in wireless routing.Enter the PIN code to set the Wireless Router

Now we log on to the Web configuration interface of the wireless router (in actual applications, we can log on in advance, becauseThe PIN code is valid for only 120 seconds.), Find the "wireless network settings" menu, and click "add wireless device. (For example)

Add a wireless device

Enter the "PIN" code you just obtained in the new interface and click "Connect ". (Note: The entire process should be completed within 120 seconds, otherwise the connection will fail)

Enter the PIN code

Well, now we need to wait a few seconds and the final connection interface will appear. (For example)

Connection successful

OK. The connection is successful. Click "finish" to exit the interface. At this time, users of the wireless client (Wireless Network Card) have obtained the WPA2-level security encrypted connection.

By entering the PIN code, you can enjoy a secure wireless network in about 30 seconds without having to remember the lengthy wireless encryption password. Compared with common public encryption keys, the "input PIN code" method is simpler and safer. Is there any simpler and faster way than this? Of course, this is the "PBC button configuration" method.10 seconds to deal with ultra-simple PBC button configuration method

The implementation of the PBC button configuration is very simple. The settings in the first two steps are the same as those in the input PIN code method, that is, to open the application of the wireless network card, select the wireless network to be connected, click "WPS.

Select the WPS Implementation Method

On the New Page, select the "PBC button configuration" method and click "Next ".

Click the PBC button

A red button appears on the page. Click this button.

Prepare connection

Enter the preparation page again, and the time limit is also 120 seconds. What do we need to do now? Do you want to go to the wireless routing Web interface? Of course not. All we need to do is press the "WPS" key on the wireless host machine.

Press the WPS button

After pressing the "WPS" Key (as shown in the blue box), we will see that the WPS indicator of the wireless route is flashing.

Connection successful

Wait a few seconds, and the interface for successful network connection will pop up. The secure wireless network connection is complete.

Through the "PBC button configuration" method, users do not need to remember lengthy encryption passwords, and it takes about 10 seconds to get a secure wireless network connection, which is indeed very fast.

Conclusion: Forgetting the password makes wireless networks more secure

After reading our comprehensive introduction to WPS, have you forgotten your wireless password? For home users, the "one-click encryption" feature of WPS is very practical. It not only enables fast wireless network connection, but also avoids hidden risks caused by leakage of public encryption keys, this allows users to enjoy wireless networks quickly and securely. Finally, we should remind you that WPS only establishes a secure connection between the Access Point and a client (one-to-one). Therefore, you still need to set wireless encryption for your wireless route, but you can forget the encrypted password.
