o PIN: Select this radio button if your wireless device supports PIN
o Push Button: Select this radio button if your wireless device supports push

o Manual: Select the radio button if you would like to setup your wireless
device manually. Refer to chapter 5 in order to manually configure the device.
ƒ The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through
manual configuration, prompt you to enter the PIN for the device, or ask you to press
the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup
and has a configuration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the
configuration button on the device and then the on the router within 60 seconds. The
status LED on the router will flash three times if the device has been successfully
added to the network.
ƒ There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. Access to the
wireless network is controlled by a registrar. A registrar only allows devices onto the
wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected
Setup button on the device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, although
other devices may act as a registrar as well.
4.2.1 Using the PIN
ƒ 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 reset the
PIN.
