connecting via WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

Hello,

I am trying to connect to a router via WPS. At the moment this
requires pushing the pushbutton on the router prior to
connecting. I would like to be able to connect by entering
a PIN into the router or pressing a pushbutton on the laptop
that connects to the router. Alas, my laptop is brand new but
I see no hardware pushbutton (is there a software pushbutton
somewhere)? I cannot even find a PIN on my laptop (I can only
see the router's PIN via HTTP from another laptop).

I don't want to have to push the push button on the router every
time I disconnect from a laptop and reconnect.

How should I proceed?

Suggestions welcome,

Thanks,

John Goche

write it down and use it on the laptop you want to connect. the PIN is the same
for all devices. once you connect, the network should be saved and you should
not have to re-enter the PIN.

Using WPS does NOT secure the router itself. the router password is left at the
default. so log into the router manually and change the password to access the
router itself.
