What is the WPS button on my Apex router for?

WPS stands for WIFI Protected Set-up and is a security standard that makes it easier and faster to connect your Apex router to other wireless devices.

You can use the following instructions to use the WPS button to connect wireless devices to your Apex network based on the type of device: 
  1. Press the WPS button once, held for 1-2 seconds, to connect general devices, such as WIFI enabled printers. 
  2. Press the WPS button three times, held for 1 second with each press, to connect an ISP-provided, WIFI set top box. 
  3. Press and hold the WPS button for 5 seconds to pair a GigaMesh or Gigaspire system as an extension of your WIFI network. A green flashing LED will be visible if successfully executed.
