Both devices should then automatically recognize and connect to each other. If so, when prompted, all you need to do is press the WPS pairing button on your router and the corresponding button on the printer to wirelessly connect the printer to the network.

To establish a connection, press the WPS button on the router and on the device you want to connect to the network. If your printer and router are both compatible with Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) this should be an option in the printer’s network menu.

For example, the WPS button on your router or repeater may be labeled “WPS”, “WiFi” or show an icon.

Where the WPS button is located depends on the respective device.

WPS can be implemented by the device manufacturers using various methods, for example by entering a PIN or the so-called push button configuration (WPS-PBC) – the WPS key.

With WPS, the WiFi security key is transferred automatically and does not have to be entered manually. WPS or Wifi Protected Setup button allows router and devices (Smart phone, tablets, laptops, etc.) connect faster and easily without providing a password. It is a method for simplifying connections between devices in the home network, for example between a router and a repeater. The abbreviation “WPS” stands for “Wi-Fi Protected Setup”. But what is the purpose of this key and where is it located? We’ll explain it to you.

You may have already come across the term “WPS button” in the manual of your WiFi router or another network-compatible device.
