Learn how to use WPS on your Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a computing standard that helps you establish secure wireless network connections. If you have little background knowledge of wireless security, WPS makes it easy for you to set up Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption to secure your network. You can also add new devices to an existing network without entering long passwords.
Use one of these methods to enable WPS:
- Push button method simply push a button on a WPS-supported device, for example, a router.
- PIN method your device creates a random PIN (Personal Identification Number), which you enter on the WPS-supported device.
