You do not have to select the specific wireless security encryption mode and input a long encryption passphrase each time a wireless user connects to your network. Instead you only have to press a button on wireless user's device (assuming WPS is supported by that device) and push the `WPS' button on the back of the HW2R1, and WPS will automatically configure your wireless security settings and wireless connection. This Smart Repeater supports two types of WPS modes: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to push a specific button on the device of the wireless user (usually titled WPS) to start the WPS mode. In addition the HW2R1 must be activated for WPS mode for the connection to work. You can push Reset/WPS button of the Smart 68 Repeater, or click `Start PBC' button in the web configuration interface to do this; if you want to use a PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless device and switch it to WPS mode, then provide the PIN code of the wireless device you wish to connect to the Smart Repeater. The detailed instructions are below: Please click `Wireless Home' from the left side menu, then click `WPS', and the following message will be displayed: 1 2 3 4 5 Here are descriptions of every setup items: Enable WPS (1) Check this box to enable WPS function, uncheck it to disable WPS.

If wireless security function has not been set, you'll see `Not configured'. Self PIN code: This is the WPS PIN code of this wireless Smart Repeater. This code is useful when you need to build wireless connection by WPS with other WPS-enabled wireless devices. SSID: The SSID of the Smart Repeater will be displayed here. Authentication Mode: The wireless security authentication mode of the Smart Repeater will be displayed here. If you do not enable the security function of the Smart Repeater before WPS is activated, the Smart Repeater will automatically set the security to WPA (AES) and generate a set passphrase key for a WPS connection. Passphrase Key: The wireless security key of the Smart Repeater will be displayed here. [. . . ] A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the product's serial number. 124 NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. [. . . ]
