How to set up a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on the Tenda N60 Router - Micro Center
<main> <article class="userContent"> <p>This article will show you how to setup WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) for either Push Button Connect mode or PIN mode, allowing devices to connect without entering the network's password.</p><p>1. First, we need to access the router's configuration page. This can be done by opening an internet browser window, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome. Next, enter <strong>192.168.0.1</strong> into the address bar at the top.</p><p>2. Login to the router. This can be done on a new router by using <strong>admin</strong> as both the username and password.</p><p>3. Once logged in, the main screen, shown below, will appear. Click on <strong>Advanced</strong> in the upper-right.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://www.microcenter.com/Content/Content%20Graphic/Images/8762_HOW5012571B-001.gif" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://www.microcenter.com/Content/Content%20Graphic/Images/8762_HOW5012571B-001.gif" alt="Tenda Advanced Internet Connection Settings" height="180" width="320" loading="lazy"></img></a> </div> </div> <p></p><p><br></p><p>4. Once logged in, open the <strong>Wireless</strong> menu and click on <strong>WPS</strong>.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://www.microcenter.com/Content/Content%20Graphic/Images/8763_HOW5012571B-002.gif" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://www.microcenter.com/Content/Content%20Graphic/Images/8763_HOW5012571B-002.gif" alt="Tenda Navigation Menus, WPS" height="180" width="320" loading="lazy"></img></a> </div> </div> <p></p><p><br></p><p>5. WPS is disabled by default. In order to enable it, simply switch the selected radio button to <strong>Enable</strong>. Once WPS is enabled, another option for <strong>WPS Mode</strong> will appear. This can be set to <strong>PBC</strong> or <strong>PIN</strong>. PBC mode allows devices to connect using the physical WPS/Reset button on the back of the router instead of typing in the network password. Pin mode allows devices to enter a pre-defined PIN instead of the network password. The <strong>Reset OOB</strong> button will reset all of the settings on the current band (2.4 or 5GHz) to factory defaults.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://www.microcenter.com/Content/Content%20Graphic/Images/8764_HOW5012571B-003.gif" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://www.microcenter.com/Content/Content%20Graphic/Images/8764_HOW5012571B-003.gif" alt="Tenda WPS Settings" height="180" width="320" loading="lazy"></img></a> </div> </div> <p></p><p><br></p><p>6. If physical access to the device is possible for most users, then <strong>PBC</strong> is the recommended setting. Otherwise, a PIN may be set for the router that can be used for WPS connections. Once the settings are selected, click on the <strong>Save</strong> button in the upper right.</p><p>7. By clicking on the <strong>5G</strong> tab at the top, WPS may also be configured for the 5GHz band of the router. The steps for this process are the same as for the 2.4GHz band.</p> </article> </main>
