AC1600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D6400
Note: The PIN function might temporarily be disabled automatically if the
modem router detects suspicious attempts to break into the modem
router's WiFi settings by using the router's PIN through WPS.
8. To keep the PIN enabled but disable the PIN failure security, clear the To prevent PIN
compromise check box.
9. To allow the WiFi settings to be changed automatically when you use WPS, do the
following:
• To allow the WiFi settings to be changed for the 2.4 GHz band, clear the Keep Existing
Wireless Settings (2.4GHz b/g/n) check box.
• To allow the WiFi settings to be changed for the 5 GHz band, clear the Keep Existing
Wireless Settings (5GHz a/n/ac) check box.
By default, these check boxes are selected. NETGEAR recommends that you leave them
selected. If you clear these check boxes, the next time that a new WiFi client uses WPS
to connect to the modem router, the WiFi settings of the modem router change to an
automatically generated random SSID and passphrase for the band to which the client
connects. For information about viewing this SSID and passphrase, see
Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security of the Main Network
Clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings (2.4GHz b/g/n) or Existing Wireless
Settings (5GHz a/n/ac) check box only if you want to allow the WPS process to change
the SSID and passphrase for WiFi access for the WiFi band.
WARNING:
If you clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box for a
WiFi band and use WPS to add a computer or WiFi device to that
band of the modem router's WiFi network, the SSID and passphrase
are automatically generated and other WiFi devices that are already
connected to the band of the modem router's WiFi network might
be disconnected.
10. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
