System
is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during initial setup as well as the
“Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures. The
process is just as easy as pressing a button for the Push-Button Method, or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin Code
Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless security setting of WPA2
is automatically used.
