1.4.1 Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Your WRE6505 v2 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.
For more information on using WPS, see Section 7.3 on page 38 .

Как сбросить настройки на роутере Zyxel Keenetic
Если вы как-то неправильно настроили свой маршрутизатор Zyxel Keenetic, или роутер работает нестабильно, то можно сделать сброс настроек к заводским. В этой статье мы рассмотрим два способа, которым можно сбросить настройки на роутерах компании Zyxel Keenetic: с помощью специальной кнопки Reset, и через панель управления. На самом деле, это очень полезная функция, которая часто выручает в процессе эксплуатации любого маршрутизатора, не только Zyxel.
Сам часто делаю reset на роутерах, особенно в процессе настройки. Когда что-то не получается, просто делаю сброс и начиню настройку заново. А еще, восстановление параметров точно пригодится в том случае, когда вы забыли пароль от своего маршрутизатора. Точнее пароль от входа в настройки.
Аппаратный и программный сброс настроек на Zyxel
Самый простой способ сделать reset, это нажать и подержать 10 секунд кнопку RESET (Сброс) на вашем роутере Zyxel Keenetic.
После этого, все настройки будут восстановлены к заводским. Кнопка Сброс утоплена в корпус роутера, поэтому, нажимать ее нужно чем-то острым. Нажмите и подержите примерно 10 секунд, питание роутера должно быть включено.
Должен активно замигать индикатор питания, и роутер будет перезагружен. Это значит, что настройки восстановлены.
Программный сброс (через панель управления)
Заходим в настройки, если не знаете как, то смотрите инструкцию. Переходим на вкладку Система, и сверху выбираем Параметры. Нажмите на кнопку Вернутся к заводским настройкам.
Появится предупреждение, что будут удалены все настройки, и все такое. Нажимаем Да.
Ждем, пока маршрутизатор перезагрузится.
На этом все, настройки сброшены. Как видите, ничего сложного. Если у вас остались какие-то вопросы, то задавайте их в комментариях.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.
For more information on using WPS, see Section 7.3 on page 38 .
