AC2000 802.11ac Wireless Access Point/Router WAC124 4. Enter your registered email address and password and click the LOG IN button. The BASIC Home page displays. 5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Advanced Wireless Settings. The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays. 6. Scroll down to the WPS Settings section. The Router's PIN field displays the fixed PIN that you use if you want to configure the access point/router's WiFi settings from another platform through WPS. 7. 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 access point/router's PIN is enabled. For enhanced security, you can disable the access point/router's PIN by clearing the Enable Router's PIN check box. However, when you disable the access point/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 access point/router detects suspicious attempts to break into the access point/router's WiFi settings by using the access point/router's PIN through WPS. 8. To allow the WiFi settings to be changed automatically when you use WPS, clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box for the 2.4 GHz band, for the 5 GHz band, or for both bands. By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check boxes are selected. We recommend that you leave these check boxes selected. If you clear the check box for a band, the next time a new WiFi device uses WPS to connect to the access point/router, the access point/router WiFi settings for the band change to an automatically generated random SSID and passphrase. For information about viewing this SSID and passphrase, see Set up or change an open or secure WiFi network on page 62. Clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box for a band only if you want to allow the WPS process to change the SSID and passphrase for WiFi access. Warning: If you clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box for a band and use WPS to add a WiFi device to the access point/router's WiFi network, the SSID and passphrase for the band are automatically generated and other WiFi devices that are already connected to the access point/router's WiFi network might be disconnected. 9. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Manage the Advanced WiFi and 217 Radio Features User Manual
