3.1.1 Connecting to the Wi-Fi using WPS
WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new Wi-Fi clients to your local network in a secure and easy way, without
the need to enter any of your wireless settings (network name, wireless key, encryption type).
Both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi access points of your DWA0120 support WPS.
Requirements
• Your Wi-Fi client must support WPS. Consult the documentation of your Wi-Fi client for this.
The following operating systems have native WPS support:
• Windows supports WPS from Windows Vista Service Pack 1 onwards.
• Android supports WPS from Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) onwards.
Mac OS X and iOS do not support WPS.
• Your DWA0120 must use WPA2 PSK (default encryption) or WPA+WPA 2 PSK encryption or no encryption.
WPS cannot be used in combination with the following encryptions:
• WPA2 via a RADIUS
• WPA via a RADIUS
• WEP
• The WPS function must be enabled on your DWA0120. This is the default setting.
WPS Methods
The following WPS methods are supported by your DWA0120:
•
Push Button Configuration (PBC):
You simply push the WPS button on both your Wi-Fi client and your DWA0120 to connect them to each other. See
"Connect your Wi-Fi client using WPS PBC" on page
•
PIN code entry on the Wi-Fi client:
You enter the PIN code of your DWA0120 on the configuration utility of your Wi-Fi client to connect them to each other.
See
"Connect your Wi-Fi client using WPS PIN code entry on the Wi-Fi client" on page
•
PIN code entry on your
You enter the WPS PIN code of your Wi-Fi client on the DWA0120 web interface to connect them to each other. For

Questions and answers
Hi, How do I connect a hard wired ( CAT 5 RJ45 )repeater to sit in another building
To connect a Technicolor DWA0120 as a wired repeater in another building using a CAT5 RJ45 cable, follow these steps:
1. Use a Fully Wired Ethernet Cable: Ensure the cable is a fully wired CAT5E or CAT6 Ethernet cable for proper connectivity.
2. Connect the Cable to a LAN Port: Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the main router.
3. Extend to the Other Building: Run the Ethernet cable to the other building.
4. Connect to the DWA0120 LAN Port: Plug the other end of the cable into a LAN port on the DWA0120.
5. Disable DHCP on the DWA0120: Access the DWA0120 settings and disable DHCP to avoid IP conflicts.
6. Set a Static IP Address: Assign a static IP address to the DWA0120 within the main router’s network range.
7. Configure Wi-Fi and Network Settings: Set the same SSID and password as the main router for seamless roaming or configure as needed.
This setup allows the DWA0120 to act as an access point, extending the network to the other building.
