You can do the following with the router's PIN:
• Disable the PIN entirely.
• Change the number of times that a PIN connection is allowed to fail before the PIN is
automatically disabled. By default, the PIN is automatically disabled after three failed
connection attempts. If the PIN is automatically disabled, it remains so until you restart
the router. While the PIN is disabled, the WPS LED blinks slowly.
• Turn off automatic disabling of the PIN.
To change the WPS settings for your wireless network:

1. Log in to the router.
