•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.
