Sharing Your Mobile Data Connection - Sony F3112 User Manual

WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™) is a wireless networking standard that helps you
establish secure wireless network connections. If you have little background
knowledge of wireless security, WPS makes it easy for you to set up Wi-Fi Protected
Access® (WPA) encryption to secure your network. You can also add new devices to
an existing network without entering long passwords.
Use one of these methods to enable WPS:
•
Push button method – simply push a button on a WPS-supported device, for
example, a router.
•
PIN method – your device creates a random PIN (Personal Identification Number),
which you enter on the WPS-supported device.
