

To configure the WPS settings:

1.

Select

ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings

.

2.

Under WPS Settings, configure the following settings:

•

Router’s PIN

. This PIN is the PIN number you use on a registrar (such as from

Network Explorer on a Vista Windows computer) to configure the router’s wireless

settings through WPS. You can also find the PIN on the router’s product label.

•

Disable Router’s PIN

. You can configure the router’s wireless settings or add a

wireless client through WPS using the router’s PIN only when the PIN is enabled. The

router’s PIN can be disabled temporarily when the router detects suspicious attempts

to break into the router’s wireless settings by using the router’s PIN through WPS.

You can manually enable this function by clearing the check box and clicking the

Apply button.

•

Keep Existing Wireless Settings

. This setting shows whether the router is in the

WPS configured state. If this check box is not selected, adding a new wireless client

changes the router’s wireless settings to an automatically generated random SSID

and security key. In addition, when this check box is selected, some external

registrars (such as Network Explorer on Vista Windows) might not see the router.

Configuring the basic wireless settings from the router’s web management interface

selects this option automatically.

allow only specific computers based on their MAC addresses.
