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 Manage the Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security of the Main Network on page 91. 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. Manage the WiFi Network Settings 113
