Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) securely adds devices to your WiFi without having to enter a network name and password. With the Linksys app, you can easily connect your devices to the network using WPS.
Before you begin:
- The device that you want to connect must also support WPS.
- WPS is NOT available when your security mode is set to WEP, MAC filtering is ON, or Broadcasting is OFF.
