7. 2 WPS Push Button Wi Fi Protected Setup WPS is a computing standard that attempts to allow easy establishment of secure wireless home network connections Created by the Wi Fi Alliance and introduced in 2007 the goal of the protocol is to allow home users who know little of wireless security and may be intimidated by the available security options to set up the encryption method WPA2 as well as making it easy to add new devices to an existing network without entering long passphrases So what does this all mean for you If your wireless router is a newer device there is a good chance that it is equipped with a WPS push button in which case you are in luck because adding the wireless range extender to your network will just be a matter of a couple of minutes If the router is a little bit older and does not support WPS the setup will have to be done with your web browser While that takes a little bit longer the procedure is also quite easy 1 3 3 Power Outlet Connector The wireless range extender plugs directly into a power wall outlet It supports 110 V 60 Hz for the U S and 230 V 50 Hz for European power outlets The plug type will vary depending on your location The illustration above depicts the U S version of the Manhattan Wireless Range Extender 1 4 DEVICE STATUS LEDS The Manhattan Wireless Range Extender is equipped with three LEDs that provide information about the operational status of the device P eo A k r C a ee
