1.Follow the procedures in Push Button Configuration on page 31 or Security PIN Entry on page 32.

2.For information about how to view a list of all devices connected to your router (including wireless and Ethernet-connected), see Viewing a List of Attached Devices on page 82.

Adding Additional Non-WPS-Enabled Clients

If you are connecting a combination of WPS-enabled clients and clients that are not WPS enabled, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add clients that are not WPS enabled.

To connect both non-WPS-enabled and WPS-enabled clients to the WNR1000v3h2 router:

1.Configure the settings of the WNR1000v3h2 router (shown in the Wireless Settings screen) for WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security, and record that information. See Configuring WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK Wireless Security on page 28.

When you change security settings, all existing connected wireless clients that do not share those settings are disassociated and disconnected from the router.

2.For the non-WPS-enabled devices that you wish to connect, open the networking utility, and follow the utility’s instructions to enter security settings.

3.For the WPS-enabled devices that you wish to connect, follow the procedures in Using Push 'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on page 30.

The WNR1000v3h2 router automatically preserves the settings you configured in step 1 so all clients share the same security settings (for more information, see Configuring the WPS Settings on page 33).

4.For information about how to view a list of all devices connected to your router (including wireless and Ethernet connected), see Viewing a List of Attached Devices on page 82.

Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address

When a Wireless Card Access List is configured and enabled, the router checks the MAC address of any wireless device attempting a connection and allows only connections to computers identified on the trusted computers list.

The Wireless Card Access List displays a list of wireless computers that you allow to connect to the router based on their MAC addresses. These wireless computers must also have the correct SSID and wireless security settings to access the wireless router.

The MAC address is a network device’s unique 12-character physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). It can usually be found on the bottom of the wireless card or network interface device. If you do not have access to the physical label, you can display the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. In WindowsXP, for example, typing the ipconfig/all command in an MSDOS command prompt window displays the MAC address as Physical Address. You might also find the MAC addresses in the router’s Attached Devices screen.

To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
