Adding Wireless Computers That Do Not Support WPS

If you set up your network with WPS, and now you want to add a computer that does not
support WPS, you must manually configure that computer. For information about how to view
the wireless settings for the router, see
page 30.
Because WPA randomly creates the SSID and WPA/WPA2 keys, they might be difficult to

wireless settings so that they are easier for you to remember. If you do that, then you will
need to set up the WPS-compatible computers again.
