is WPS and how to connect HP Printer with WPS?
WPS is a wireless technology that stands for ‘Wi-Fi Protected
Setup’.WPS makes the connection between
the wireless router and various gadgets quite smoother and uninterrupted. Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a wireless network
security standard. This technology
works only with wireless networks that are being secured by using a password
which is encrypted with various protocols such as the WPA Personal or WPA2
Personal security protocols. Where there is standard security configuration, we
cannot make connection of a wireless device to a wireless network. For this
type of connections we must have the network name which is commonly known as
SSID and its password that are commonly called as WPA-PSK key.
