Question
How do I enable WPS PBC on my SBR-AC1900P?
Answer
The WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) feature allows wireless clients and the SBR-AC1900P to establish a wireless connection with a push of a button or by exchanging a pin code.  WPS and WPA-PSK (Wireless Protected Access) wireless encryption are enabled by default in the SBR-AC1900P.  WPS automatically generates a new strong WPA key for the Gateway and any WPS client devices on the wireless network.  The SBR-AC1900P supports two types of WPS: PIN Entry and PBC (Push Button Connection).  This document provides information on both:

Requirements

  • Wireless client must support WPS.
  • The client's WPS must support hardware or software Push-button.

NOTE 1: Not all client wireless devices support WPS.  Please refer to the wireless client's documentation.

NOTE 2: Older, non-WPS clients can still be added to the network by configuring them with WEP or WPA-PSK.  WEP wireless encryption is no longer available on firmware version 1.0.7-B05 and later.
