Extender Network Settings

Universal WiFi Range Extender WN2000RPT

Use WPS to Add a Computer to the Extender’s Wireless

Network

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or wireless device to the

extender’s network without entering the wireless network passphrase or key. Instead, you

use a WPS button or enter a PIN to connect. WPS supports WPA and WPA2 wireless

security. If your extender network is open (no wireless security is set), then connecting with

WPS automatically sets WPA2 + WPA wireless security on the extender network.

Note: You cannot use the Push 'N' Connect WPS button to connect the

extender to your wireless network. The WPS button on the extender

can be used only to connect a computer to the extender.

The Universal WiFi Extender WN2000RPT Installation Guide explains how to use WPS

during installation.

 To join the extender’s network using WPS after installation:

1. Select Setup > Add WPS Client. Click Next and the following screen displays:

2. Select a radio button.

• Push Button (recommended). Either click the

button or press the WPS

button on the front of the extender.

• PIN Number. Select the radio button, and a PIN displays.

The extender tries to find the wireless client (the computer) that is attempting to join the

network. If you are using a WPS button, it tries for 2 minutes. If you are using a PIN, it

tries for 4 minutes.

3. Go to your wireless computer. Use its WPS software to try to connect to the extender.

The first time you add a WPS client, WPS automatically sets the extender’s wireless

security to WPA2 + WPA with a random passphrase. You can view these settings in the

Wireless Settings screen, described in the following section.
