Wireless-N 150 Router WNR1000v2 User Manual These options are available under WPS Settings: • Router's PIN. The PIN is displayed so that you can use it to configure the router through WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). It is also displayed on the router's label. • Disable Router's PIN. If the router's PIN is disabled, you cannot configure the router's wireless settings with WPS. However, if your settings are already configured, you can still add WPS-enabled wireless clients. The router might disable the PIN if it detects suspicious attempts to break into your wireless settings; this can happen if the check box is selected. You can enable the PIN by clearing the check box and clicking Apply. • Keep Existing Wireless Settings. This check box is automatically selected after WPS is enabled to prevent unwanted settings changes, and is also selected if you have already specified wireless security settings or your SSID without using WPS. When this check box is not selected, adding a new wireless client using the push button or the Add WPS Client screen (see "Push Button Configuration" on page 2-13) changes the router's SSID and security passphrase. You might need to clear it if you are using certain registrars, such as for a Windows Vista PC, to configure the router through WPS. Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices after WPS Setup You can add WPS-enabled and non-WPS-enabled client devices. Adding Additional WPS-Enabled Clients To add an additional wireless client device that is WPS enabled: Note: Your wireless settings do not change when you add an additional WPS-enabled client unless you have cleared the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box (in the Wireless Settings screen). If you do clear the check box, a new SSID and a passphrase are generated, and all existing connected wireless clients are disassociated and disconnected from the router. 1. Follow the procedures in "Push Button Configuration" on page 2-13 or "Security PIN Entry" on page 2-15. 2. For information about how to view a list of all devices connected to your router (including wireless and Ethernet-connected), see "Viewing a List of Attached Devices" on page 6-7. Adding Additional Non-WPS-Enabled Clients If you are connecting a combination of WPS-enabled clients and clients that are not WPS enabled, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add clients that are not WPS enabled.
