How the TP router WPS button is used

What is WPS?

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected setup,wifi protection settings) is an optional authentication program implemented by the WiFi Consortium, which focuses on simplifying wireless network settings and wireless network encryption. In general, when a user creates a new wireless network, the wireless Network name (SSID) and wireless encryption are set to secure the wireless network, that is, "Hide SSID" and set "wireless network connection password."

When these settings are complete and clients need to connect to the wireless network, they must manually add the network name (SSID) and enter a lengthy wireless encryption password, which is a tedious process for many users. And with WPS "one key Encryption", this process became very simple, we just click on the wireless router WPS key, can easily and quickly complete the wireless network connection, and access to WPA2-level encryption of wireless network, so that client users can quickly and ease of experience wireless life.

Advantage

WPS can help client users automatically configure the network name (SSID) and the wireless encryption key. For ordinary users, it is not necessary to understand the concept of SSID and security key to achieve a secure connection, and the user's security key can not be cracked by outsiders, because it is randomly generated, and most importantly, users do not have to memorize lengthy wireless encryption password, avoid the trouble of forgetting passwords.

Insufficient

As described in the previous article, WPS is an optional certification project launched by the Alliance of WiFi organizations, so using WPS to simplify the network security configuration is the most basic requirement is the wireless access point (no line by) and client equipment (wireless network card) must pass WPS certification, if one party did not pass the certification, can not achieve the WPS function; And because of the differences between the products, different brands of access points and clients will also appear compatibility problems, it is recommended that you choose the same brand of products.

One-click Encryption

To achieve WPS "one-Key Encryption" method is very simple, users can have two choices, that is, input pin code (PIN input configuration,pin) and button configuration method (push button CONFIGURATION,PBC).
