Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup

You can add more WPS clients to your wireless network, or you can add a combination of
WPS-enabled clients and clients without WPS.
Note: Your wireless settings remain the same when you add another WPS-enabled client,
as long as the Keep Existing Wireless Settings checkbox is selected in the
Advanced WPS Settings screen (listed under the Advanced heading in the modem
router main menu). If you clear this checkbox, 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 modem router.
To add a wireless client device that is WPS-enabled:
1. Follow the procedures in
Network and Security" on page
2. To view a list of all devices connected to your modem router (including wireless and Ethernet-
connected), see "Viewing Attached Devices" in Chapter
For non-WPS clients, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add them to the wireless
network. You must record, and then manually enter your security settings (see
Configuring Your Wireless Security" on page
To connect a combination of non-WPS enabled and WPS-Enabled clients to the modem router:
1. Restore the modem router to its factory default settings (press the Restore Factory Settings
button on the bottom of the modem router for 6 seconds).
When the factory settings are restored, all existing wireless clients are disassociated and
disconnected from the modem router.
2. Configure the network names (SSIDs), select the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK radio button on the
Wireless Settings screen (see
and click Apply. On the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK screen, select a passphrase and click Apply.
Record this information to add additional clients.
3. For the non-WPS devices that you want to connect, open the networking utility and follow the
utility's instructions to enter the security settings that you selected in
PSK + WPA2/PSK security method, and passphrase).
4. For the WPS devices that you want to connect, follow the procedures in
