Does iPad support WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) for connecting to a WPS supported router. This would eliminate the need for a PC connection to the router for configuration.
iPad 2
iPads connect to routers now without a pc involved at all.

Why do you think you need a PC connected to your router?
iOS devices support WPA and various forms of WEP. The connection can be made directly to a router/modem/gateway without an intervening computer.
Sorry, I left out an assumption. The router has not been configured; there is no configured SSIS, username, or password. The wireless router requires an Ethernet connection be made with a PC, to connect to the IP address of the router and configure it.
In my case, I want to configure without using a PC. The router supports the WPS protocol which does not require configuring the SSIS,username, password. My question was whether the iPad supports that protocol. Then, I should be able to enable WPS and click the WPS start button on the router. The iPad should then connect.
no i don't think it does wps. but i think you can still configure the wireless router with the ipad. if you connect to it, just type in the gateway address into safari, logon, and configure
