The easiest way to get the easy setup with Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS).

Some of us don't have a problem setting up wireless repeaters. Then again some of us probably wouldn't have a problem coding their own operating system so who knows. Some of us don't have time to keep up on the latest technology karena begitu cepatnya perkembangan tekhnologi saat ini. and we appreciate when things are being made easy. There's a lot to be said for a wireless network which just works and sadly this is too rare. Something always goes wrong and a wireless repeater is supposed to make things easier - not harder, itulah yang diharapkan untuk lebih mudah. So rather than having to deal with security settings and who knows what else I like having it easy and there's a few way you can find an easy wireless repeater which won't cause a headache.

The easiest way to get an easy setup is with Wifi protected setup (WPS). The setup process can be as simple as pushing a button on your router and pushing another on the wireless repeater itself. The router looks for another device which has currently had the button pressed and there's no complicated setups or settings. It takes your original settings for the first network and uses the same thing. You don't even need to enter your wireless password because pushing the WPS button requires physical access which counts as some pretty good security against people stealing your internet.

The problem with WPS is twofold. Firstly there is a fairly large security hole with malicious users practically brute forcing the WPS beacons. This can be sorted by disabling WPS when you're done with it or by patching your firmware to a point where it automatically prevents a brute force on the WPS.

But the second problem is incompatibility. Sometimes frequencies or security encryption doesn't line up and other times you might not even have WPS on your router in the first place. If someone gets a repeater or range extender based on the fact it is easy to install then they're not going to be pleased when it doesn't work straight out of the box.

So it's impossible to make WPS compatible with a router which doesn't have WPS. But there is still a way to get easy to use wireless repeaters and that lies in the setup procedure itself. Now I have a golden rule. If my mother can set one up I consider it easy.
