WPS Settings

Router's PIN. The PIN number that you use on a registrar (for example, from the Network
Explorer on a Vista Windows PC) to configure the modem router's wireless settings through
WPS. You can also find the PIN on the modem router label.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the modem router detects suspicious
attempts to break into the modem router's wireless settings by using the modem router's PIN
through WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by clearing the Disable Router's
PIN check box.
Keep Existing Wireless Settings. By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check
box is selected. This allows the modem router to keep the same SSID and wireless security
settings when WPS-enabled devices are added to the network.
If the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is not selected, the next time you use WPS
to connect WPS-capable devices to your wireless network, the modem router generates a
new random SSID and WPA/WPA2 passphrase. NETGEAR does not recommend this.
