as long as the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected in the
Advanced Wireless screen (listed under the Advanced heading in the wireless
router main menu). If you clear this check box, when you add the client, a new
SSID and passphrase will be generated, and all existing connected wireless clients
will be disassociated and disconnected from the wireless router.
To add a wireless client device that is WPS-enabled:
