Advanced Wireless Settings for WPS and WDS
The Advanced Wireless Settings screen includes settings for Push 'N' Connect (WPS) and for
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) setup. From the main menu, select Advanced Wireless
Settings to display the following screen:
• WPS (Push 'N' Connect). The WPS settings show the modem router PIN, and the Keep
Existing Wireless Settings check box.
By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is cleared. This allows the modem
router to automatically generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it
implements WPS. After WPS is implemented, the modem router automatically selects this
check box so that your SSID and wireless security settings remain the same if other WPS-
enabled devices are added later.
If you configure your wireless router settings and security manually, the Keep Existing
Wireless Settings radio box will also be enabled. This will allow you to use WPS (Push 'N'
Connect) to connect additional WPS capable devices to your wireless network using the
existing settings.
Note: To make sure that your new wireless settings remain in effect, verify that the
Keep Existing Wireless Settings checkbox is selected in the WPS Settings
screen.
