Add Wireless Devices That Do Not Support WPS

If you set up your network with WPS, and now want to add a non-WPS device, you must
manually change it.
Because WPA randomly creates the Wi-Fi network name and password, they might be
difficult to type or remember. That is one reason why the network is so secure. You can
change the wireless settings so that they are easier for you to remember. However, you must
set up the WPS-compatible computer, smartphone, or tablet again.
Note: When you make changes like these, all wireless connections are lost
from the network and require setup with the new wireless settings.

To change wireless settings for the network:
1. Connect a computer to the router using an Ethernet cable, preventing a disconnection
when changing the wireless settings.
2. Sign in to the web user interface.
3. Select Router Settings > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Profile.
4. Make the following changes:
• Change the Wi-Fi network name.
• Specify a Wi-Fi password.
• Select Router Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced Wi-Fi Settings and make sure that
Keep Existing Wi-Fi Settings is selected so that your new settings are not erased if
you use WPS. For more information, see
5. Click Apply.
All previously connected wireless devices are forgotten and disconnected from the router.
6. To connect any computers, smartphones, or tablets, open the networking application and
enter the security settings that you selected in Step 4 (the network name, security method,
and Wi-Fi password).
7. Connect via WPS.
See Join Your Wireless Network
The settings that you configured in Step 4 are broadcast to your computer, smartphone,
or tablet so that they can connect to the router.
