    Use WPS to Add a Computer to an Extender’s WiFi 
    Network
    WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) lets you connect a computer or WiFi device \
    to the extender’s 
    network without entering the WiFi network passphrase or key. Instead, you use a  WPS button 
    or enter a PIN to connect.
    If you use the push button method, the WiFi device that you are trying t\
    o connect must 
    include a physical  WPS button or an onscreen WPS  button that you can click. If you use the 
    PIN method, you must know the PIN of the WiFi device that you are trying\
     to connect.
    WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your extender network is open (no WiFi 
    security is set), connecting with WPS automatically sets WP
     A + WPA2 WiFi security on the 
    extender network and generates a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase on the 
    WiFi Settings page (for more information, see View WiFi Settings on page  21).
    For information about using WPS to connect the extender to a WiFi networ\
    k during setup, 
    see Use an Extenders in Access Point Mode  on page

    Deny Access to a Computer or WiFi Device

    nect to the extender’s 
    WiFi networks.
    You can deny network access to specific computers and WiFi devices based \
    on their MAC  addresses. Each network device is assigned a MAC address, which is a uni\
    que 12-character 
    physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, \
    or 
    
    A–F only, and 
    separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the 
    label of the WiFi device. If you cannot access the label, you can displa\
    y the MAC address 
    using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find the MAC 
    addresses on the Connected Devices page (see  View Connected Devices on page
      19).
