Abstract
A wireless device is provisioned according to WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) push button mode. The wireless device receives an electronic signal from a provisioning agent external to the wireless device, the electronic signal indicating to the wireless device that the wireless device is to start WPS provisioning procedures. A user presses a push button on an AP to which the wireless device is to be connected. On receipt of the electronic signal, the wireless device enrolls in a wireless network, of which the AP is a part, by communicating with the access point in accordance with push button mode of WPS. The technique enables a wireless device to be provisioned without a user requiring to press any button on the wireless device.
