Connecting devices using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) makes it easy to add devices to your WiFi network without having to enter a password. Using the Linksys cloud account, connecting your wireless devices is made easier, faster, and more convenient as you can just remotely access and connect your devices to your home network from a browser or mobile device.

The device you want to connect through WPS must also support WPS.
