Gibt es eine Funktion wie WPS an der Box?

Peter Carsten

Ich habe für meine Heizung ein neues Kommunikationsmodul, des bei der Installation erwartet das die WPS Taste am Router gedrückt wird.
Wie mache ich das wenn mein WLAN über FW Box läuft.
Als Notlösung habe ich erst mal das WLAN an meiner FritzBox aktiviert, aber das kann ja nicht die Lösung sein.

Wie kann ich neue Geräte im WLAN anmelden, die auf WPS angewiesen sind?

Below is the information I found on the internet.

Understanding the WPS Conundrum with FW Boxes

The challenge you're facing is a common one when using a firewall (FW) box. These devices often act as intermediaries, filtering and routing network traffic. This can interfere with WPS, which typically requires direct communication between the device and the router.  

Potential Solutions:

While there's no straightforward solution to directly use WPS through a FW box, here are some alternatives you might consider:

1. Manual Configuration:
   • Gather Network Information: Obtain the SSID (network name) and password of your Wi-Fi network from your router's settings.
   • Configure the Device: Use the device's setup instructions to manually input the SSID and password. This might be a more tedious process, but it's often reliable.
2. WPS with Temporary Router:
   • Connect Directly: Temporarily disconnect your router from the FW box and connect it directly to your internet connection.
   • Use WPS: Use the WPS button on both the router and the device to establish a connection.
   • Reconnect to FW Box: Once the connection is established, reconnect your router to the FW box.
3. Consult with Your ISP or Network Administrator:
   • Professional Assistance: If you're unsure about the above methods or have a complex network setup, consult with your ISP or a network administrator. They may have specific advice or solutions based on your particular setup.
4. Check Device Documentation:
   • Alternative Methods: Some devices might offer alternative methods for network configuration, such as QR code scanning or web-based setup.

Security Considerations:

While WPS is convenient, it's important to be aware of its security risks. WPS has been exploited in the past, so it's recommended to disable it after the initial setup.  

By carefully considering these approaches and prioritizing security, you should be able to successfully connect your new communication module to your Wi-Fi network, even with a FW box in place.
