Windows 10: WiFi Password for AP

I have a WiFi device that gives a pin code which I have to enter into my AP. If I understand correctly the router has to support WPS, correct ? And if it doesn't then how do I get this WiFi device to connect; is there anything I could get to make it work for the router ?

ZyXEL APS shows up in my network. What is it?

I'm not exactly sure what that means ...

Does it mean that ZyXEL APS appears in the list of available networks when you click on the WiFi icon in the notification area? If so, that's normal. Your WiFi adapter has an antenna that detects the presence of nearby WiFi networks, just like the antenna
in your radio detects the presence of nearby radio stations.

Or does it mean that ZyXEL APS appears in the list of devices connected to
your network? If so, that means that your network security is weak, so someone has connected to your network. If some unauthorized person has connected to your network, you can block them, but you need to do that in your router.

You also have to encrypt your network - choose the WPS2-AES method for best protection - and also password-protect your router's configuration utility. Without these twp steps, anyone who wants to can easily connect to your network.

ZyXEL is a manufacturer of networking hardware. AP usually means 'access point' - a device that connects to a network.

 

Configure AP Mode with Same SSID to extend WiFi signal

Sounds like the AP is not passing traffic or has a delay. If you leave the router WiFi off, disable WiFi on a phone, reenable wifi on phone and reconnect to WiFi (being broadcast by AP) does it connect? If not, double check that you set the APs Gateway properly and that means it should be your router...that's something your screenshots did not show.

When I reset the wifi on my cellphone it will connect fine to the AP wifi, same happened with my laptop, but the other devices no luck, my tablet is trying to con constantly and my other laptop says no internet secured.
