Abstract
A method and apparatus for automatically establishing a wired protected setup between an enrollee requesting registration and a registrar granting registration are provided. The method includes: determining whether a power line communication (PLC) between the enrollee and the registrar is possible; and if it is determined that the PLC with the registrar is possible, receiving a personal identification number (PIN) from the registrar through the power line and transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK) message to the registrar through the power line as a response to the received PIN.
