The Router's PIN field displays the PIN that you use on a registrar (for example, from the Network
Explorer on a Vista Windows computer) to configure the router's WiFi settings through WPS.
5. (Optional) Select or clear the Enable Router's PIN check box.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the router detects suspicious attempts to break
into the router's WiFi settings by using the router's PIN through WPS. You can manually enable the PIN
function by selecting the Enable Router's PIN check box.
6. (Optional) Select or clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box.
By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected. We recommend that you leave
this check box selected.
If you clear this check box, the next time a new WiFi client uses WPS to connect to the router, the router
WiFi settings change to an automatically generated random SSID and security key.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
