Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ 은 가정 및 소규모 사무실 환경에서 보안 적용된 Wi-Fi® 네트워크를 간편하게 설정할 수 있도록 해주는 기술에 대한 인증 프로그램입니다. Wi-Fi Protected Setup은 소비자들이 익숙한 방법(버튼 누르기, PIN 입력)을 통해 네트워크를 구성하고 보안을 적용할 수 있도록 지원합니다.

모든 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ 제품들과 마찬가지로, Wi-Fi Protected Setup 제품 역시 Wi-Fi Protected Access® 에 의해 제공되는 업계 표준 보안 기능을 제공합니다. Wi-Fi Protected Setup은 소비자들이 기기 간 또는 네트워크 구성 내에서 간편하게 보안 적용된 Wi-Fi 연결을 설정할 수 있도록 해줍니다. 이를 통해 Wi-Fi Protected Setup 네트워크에 손쉽게 새로운 기기들을 추가할 수 있습니다.

Wi-Fi 기술로 더욱 다양한 기기들을 연결하기 위해서는 매우 단순하고 표준화된 네트워크 구성 및 보안 적용 방식이 필수적입니다. 간단한 방법으로 기기를 네트워크에 추가할 수 있다는 확신이 있어야만, Wi-Fi 소비자들이 다양한 제품 유형과 브랜드를 선택할 수 있습니다.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • Are Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products protected by security?

    As of July 1, 2020, all new Wi-Fi CERTIFIED devices require WPA3. The only way to be sure that a product meets the latest security standards is to purchase only Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products.

  • How does Wi-Fi Alliance help ensure product compatibility and a good user experience for certified products?

    Compatibility and quality are achieved through testing of Wi-Fi products. Consumers should always look for the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo to ensure the best user experience possible.

  • How does Wi-Fi Protected Setup work?

    There are two primary approaches to network setup within Wi-Fi Protected Setup: push-button and PIN entry. PIN entry is mandatory in all Wi-Fi Protected Setup devices, while push-button is optional and may also be found in some devices.

    Push-button configuration (PBC): in some Wi-Fi Protected Setup networks, the user may connect multiple devices to the network and enable data encryption by pushing a button. The access point/wireless router will have a physical button, and other devices may have a physical or software-based button. Users should be aware that during the two-minute setup period which follows the push of the button, unintended devices could join the network if they are in range.

    PIN entry: in all Wi-Fi Protected Setup networks, a unique PIN (Personal Identification Number) will be required for each device to join the network. A fixed PIN label or sticker may be placed on a device, or a dynamic PIN can be generated and shown on the device's display (e.g., a TV screen or monitor). The PIN is used to make sure the intended device is added to the network being set up and will help to avoid accidental or malicious attempts to add unintended devices to the network.

    A registrar device (which could be an Access Point/wireless router, PC television, or other device) will detect when a new Wi-Fi device is in range, and prompt the user to enter the PIN, if he or she wishes to add the new device to the network. In this mode, Wi-Fi Protected Setup network encrypts data and authenticates each device on the network. The PIN entry method is supported in all devices.
