Connecting to a HUAWEI CPE's Wi-Fi via WPS
Connecting to a HUAWEI CPE's Wi-Fi via WPS |
With the WPS feature on the CPE, you can quickly and securely set up a Wi-Fi connection without entering a complex Wi-Fi password.
The WPS feature of the Wi-Fi device is required to set up WPS connection with the CPE. This feature can be enabled or disabled by using a physical button or a software switch (such as the switch in the WPS software of the mobile phone). Take a HUAWEI phone as an example. You can search for WPS in Settings on your phone. If WPS is available, you can use WPS to quickly connect to the Wi-Fi.
Press the H or WPS button on a HUAWEI phone to connect to the CPE's Wi-Fi
- Go to Settings > WLAN on your phone. Enable WLAN, touch the name of the target Wi-Fi network, and place your phone within 1 meter away from the CPE. If the Wi-Fi indicator on the CPE flashes slowly, the CPE has detected your phone.
- Press the H or WPS button on the CPE. If the Wi-Fi indicator on the CPE flashes faster, the CPE is connecting to your phone.
- When the Wi-Fi indicator on the CPE stops flashing and becomes steady on, your phone is connected to the CPE's Wi-Fi.

When the Wi-Fi indicator on the CPE stops flashing and becomes steady on, your phone is connected to the CPE's Wi-Fi. There is no need to select a Wi-Fi or enter a password throughout the entire process.
