What are two common methods for setting up Wi-Fi devices?

Two common methods for setting up Wi-Fi devices involve the use of a PIN and a push-button.

Using a PIN, often referred to as Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), allows users to easily connect devices to a wireless network by entering a numeric code. This code is usually found on the device or the router. The push-button method simplifies the process further; by pressing a dedicated button on the router, users can allow devices to connect to the network automatically without needing to enter any credentials. Both of these methods are designed to streamline the setup process for users, making it easier to connect devices securely to a Wi-Fi network without needing extensive technical knowledge or manual configuration of network settings.

In contrast, memory sticks and Ethernet are not commonly used methods for initial device setup. Memory sticks may be used for transporting software or configurations but do not directly configure Wi-Fi devices. Hardwire connections typically refer to connecting devices via Ethernet, which is not a method for setting up Wi-Fi connectivity. Cloud control and voice commands may be useful for managing or configuring devices post-setup but are not standard methods for initially setting up Wi-Fi devices.
