Locking the wireless security settings prevents

the settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi

Protected Setup feature of the router. Devices

can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi

Protected Setup. However, the settings of the

network will not change once this option is

checked.

A PIN is a unique number that can be used

to add the router to an existing network or to

create a new network. The default PIN may be

printed on the bottom of the router. For extra

security, a new PIN can be generated. You can

restore the default PIN at any time. Only the

Administrator (“admin” account) can change or

Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup”

as well as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well

as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering

the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the

highest wireless Security setting of WPA is automatically used.
