Keep Existing Wireless Settings
checkbox on the WPS Settings screen is cleared. This is the default setting for the router,
and allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements
WPS. After WPS is implemented, the router automatically selects this checkbox so that your
SSID and wireless security settings stay the same if other WPS devices are added later.
