WPS uses WPA2 (described below) for encryption. It does not provide
additional security. Instead, it standardizes the method for securing
your wireless network. On your client utility, WPS-enabled networks
are denoted with the key icon. You may use either the PBC method or
PIN method to allow a device access to your wireless network. The two
methods work as follows:
PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on your USB Adapter for
two seconds. (Alternatively, you may click the "WPS Connect" button
on the Belkin utility instead of the physical push button.) Then, complete
the WPS procedure on the router within two minutes. Your client will
automatically exchange the security information and be added to your
wireless network. The PBC method can also be initiated from the router;
however, it is recommended to start the procedure from your USB
Adapter.
