4. Under WPS Settings, you can configure the following settings:
• Disable Router's PIN. Only when the modem router's PIN is enabled, you can configure
the modem router's wireless settings or add a wireless client through WPS with the
modem router's PIN number. The PIN function may temporarily be disabled when the
modem router detects suspicious attempts to break into the modem router's wireless
settings by using the modem router's PIN through WPS. You can manually enable the PIN
function by deselecting the Disable Router's PIN check box.
• Keep Existing Wireless Settings. By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check
box is cleared. This allows the modem router to automatically generate the SSID and
WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After WPS is implemented, the
modem router automatically selects this check box so that your SSID and wireless security
settings remain the same if other WPS-enabled devices are added later.
If you configure your wireless router settings and security manually, the Keep Existing
Wireless Settings check box will also be enabled. This will allow you to use WPS (Push
'N' Connect) to connect additional WPS capable devices to your wireless network using
the existing settings.
