Nighthawk AC1900 Smart WiFi Router Model R6900P The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings. The Wireless Settings page displays. 5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. The Router's PIN field displays the fixed PIN that you use to configure the router's WiFi settings from another platform through WPS. 6. To disable the PIN, clear the Enable Router's PIN check box. By default, the Enable Router's PIN check box is selected and the router's PIN is enabled. For enhanced security, you can disable the router's PIN by clearing the Enable Router's PIN check box. However, when you disable the router's PIN, WPS is not disabled because you can still use the physical WPS button. Note The PIN function might temporarily be disabled automatically if the router detects suspicious attempts to break into the router's WiFi settings by using the router's PIN through WPS. 7. To allow the WiFi settings to be changed automatically when you use WPS, clear one or both of the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check boxes. By default, both Keep Existing Wireless Settings check boxes are selected. We recommend that you leave these check boxes selected. If you clear a check box, the next time a new WiFi client uses WPS to connect to the router, the router's associated WiFi settings change to an automatically generated random SSID and passphrase. For information about viewing this SSID and passphrase, see Specify Basic WiFi Settings on page 138. 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 WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the router's WiFi network, the associated SSID and passphrase are automatically generated and other WiFi devices that are already connected to the router's WiFi network might be disconnected. 8. Click the Apply button. Manage the WiFi Network Settings 149
