WPS stands for Wireless Protected
Setup.Netgear wireless range extender could be setup using several methods and
Wireless protected setup is one of them. As the name suggests, its protected
and secured. The earlier method of WPS PIN had few flaws. It has some security
issues. To overcome all those issues the WPS was introduced which is much safer
than the WPS PIN method. WPS is the easiest and quickest method out of all the
methods used to setup the Netgear wireless range extender. That’s why its so
popular and used by most of the users to setup the Netgear wireless rangeextender.
How
WPS works?
The working of WPS
is very simple but, at the same time its secured too. While using the WPS, we
do not have to select the network we want to extend, its name and the password.
But, all the settings on our home Wi-Fi router will be picked by the Netgear
wireless range extender automatically. That means it will choose the Wi-Fi
network by itself, it will assign a name to it and it will put the same
password on the Netgear wireless range extender as we have on our home Wi-Fi
network.
Can
I use any device to setup using WPS?
WPS is a great
method but, its only compatible to WPS enabled devices. That means our devices
are not WPS enabled, we would not be able to use this great feature. We could
simply check on the settings or the manual of any particular device to see if
it is WPS compatible or not. All the Netgear extenders and routers are WPS compatible.
That means, we could easily setup the Netgear wireless range extender within
few minutes by pressing the WPS buttons on the Netgear wireless range extender
and our home Wi-Fi router.
How
to use WPS?
To use WPS, the
first thing we have to do is to check if our home Wi-Fi router is compatible
with WPS or not and if it is compatible, is it enabled or not. IF the WPS is
enabled on our home Wi-Fi router then, we have to press the WPS button on our
home router for three seconds. Then, within two minutes of pressing the WPS
button on our home router, we have to press the WPS button on the Netgear
wireless range extender. Then it will take two minutes to establish the
connection and apply all the settings. After that, we could place Netgearwireless range extender where we want and we could enjoy the consistent Wi-Fi
signal everywhere inside our home.
