To specify WPS settings:

1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Type admin for the user name and type your password.
If you did not yet personalize your password, type password for the password.
4. Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
6. Scroll down to the WSP Settings section.
The Gateway's PIN field displays the PIN that you can enter on a registrar (for example,
Windows Connect Now in Microsoft Windows 7) to configure the modem router's WiFi
settings through WPS.
7. Specify the WPS settings:
• Disable Gateway's PIN. By default, the PIN is enabled, but situations might occur in
which you want to disable the PIN. The PIN function might temporarily be disabled
when the modem router detects suspicious attempts to break into the modem router's
WiFi settings through use of the modem router's PIN and WPS. You can manually
disable the PIN function by selecting the Disable Router's PIN check box.
