an automatically generated random SSID and passphrase. For information about viewing this SSID
and passphrase, see
View or Change the Basic WiFi Settings
on page 102. Clear a
Keep Existing
Wireless Settings
check box only if you want to allow the WPS process to change the associated
SSID and passphrase for WiFi access.
Warning
If you clear a Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box and use WPS to add
a computer or WiFi device to the
modem router
’s WiFi network, the associated
SSID and passphrase are automatically generated and other WiFi devices
that are already connected to the
modem router
’s WiFi network might be
disconnected.
