Connect to your wireless network using WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect devices to your
wireless network. If your wireless router/access point supports WPS, you can use this
feature to easily connect wireless devices to your network.
Note: You can typically find out if you if your wireless router/access point supports WPS
just by looking at the physical device. There should be a WPS push button located on the
exterior casing of the device, if not, your device may not support WPS or you may need
to reference your device documentation as to how WPS can be initiated on the device. If
your device does not have an identifiable WPS push button on the exterior location, we
would recommend using the standard connection method on the previous page.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless devices to
your network.

Create or modify wireless network profiles
Wireless network profiles are profiles that define the parameters of an existing network
such as the wireless network name (SSID) and security settings in order to allow for
easier management especially if you connect to multiple wireless networks. When you
connect to a wireless network using the Available Networks window, a profile for that
network is automatically saved to your profile list so that the next time you are in range
of that network, your computer will automatically connect to that predefined wireless
network without having to manually scan and reconnect to the network.
Note: The wireless utility uses built-in Windows® profile management for wireless
networks.
When a parameter (wireless network name or security key) changes in a wireless
network that you had connected to before and saved to the profile list, you may need to
modify the profile of that network and change to the correct parameters in order to
reconnect.
If you are connecting to a wireless network where the wireless network name (SSID) is
not discoverable for security purposes, you may need to manually add a new profile to
the list for this network in order to connect.
Please note that these parameters are set based on the configuration parameters
required by the wireless router/access point.
For additional information on security parameters, you can refer to the Appendix.
1. Open up the wireless utility.
2. Click on the Available Networks tab.
3. Review the options.
When connecting to a wireless network, it is automatically saved to your Windows®
profile list.
• Add – Allows you to manually add a wireless network profile (ex. If the
wireless network is set to hide it’s wireless network name (SSID)). This will add
the profile to Windows® profile list.
• Modify – Allows you to modify an existing wireless network profile in the
Windows® profile list. Select the wireless network to modify in the Available
Networks list, and click this option to modify it. You will only be able to modify
the settings of a wireless network that had been saved in the Windows® profile
list.
• Remove – Allows you to remove an existing wireless network profile in the
Windows® profile list. Select the wireless network to remove in the Available
Networks list, and click this option to remove it. You will only be able to remove
a profile that had been saved in the Windows® profile list.

Appendix
How to choose the type of security for your wireless network
Setting up wireless security is very important. Leaving your wireless network open and
unsecure could expose your entire network and personal files to outsiders. TRENDnet
recommends reading through this entire section and setting up wireless security on your
new router.
There are a few different wireless security types supported in wireless networking each
having its own characteristics which may be more suitable for your wireless network
taking into consideration compatibility, performance, as well as the security strength
along with using older wireless networking hardware (also called legacy hardware).
It is strongly recommended to enable wireless security to prevent unwanted users from
accessing your network and network resources (personal documents, media, etc.).
In general, it is recommended that you choose the security type with the highest
strength and performance supported by the wireless computers and devices in your
network. Please review the security types to determine which one you should use for
your network.
Wireless Encryption Types
• WEP: Legacy encryption method supported by older 802.11a/b/g hardware.
This is the oldest and least secure type of wireless encryption. It is generally not
recommended to use this encryption standard, however if you have old 802.11
b, 802.11g or 802.11a wireless adapters or computers with old embedded
wireless cards(wireless clients), you may have to set your router to WEP to
allow the old adapters to connect to the router. Note: This encryption standard
will limit connection speeds to 54Mbps.
• WPA: This encryption is significantly more robust than the WEP technology.
Much of the older 802.11a or 802.11g hardware has been upgraded (with
firmware/driver upgrades) to support this encryption standard. Total wireless
speeds under this encryption type however are limited to 54Mbps.
• WPA-Auto: This setting provides the router with the ability to detect wireless
devices using either WPA or WPA2 encryption. Your wireless network will
automatically change the encryption setting based on the first wireless device
connected. For example, if the first wireless client that connects to your
wireless network uses WPA encryption your wireless network will use WPA
encryption. Only when all wireless clients disconnect to the network and a
wireless client with WPA2 encryption connects your wireless network will then
change to WPA2 encryption. NOTE: WPA2 encryption supports 802.11n speeds
and WPA encryption will limit your connection speeds to 54Mbps
• WPA2: This is the most secure wireless encryption available today, similar to
WPA encryption but more robust. This encryption standard also supports the
highest connection speeds. TRENDnet recommends setting your router to this
encryption standard. If you find that one of your wireless network devices does
not support WPA2 encryption, then set your router to either WPA or WPA-Auto
encryption.
Note: Check the specifications of your wireless network adapters and wireless appliances
to verify the highest level of encryption supported.
