N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3300v2 User Manual

The first time you add a WPS client, make sure that the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box on the WPS Settings screen is cleared. This is the default setting for the N300 wireless modem router, and allows it to generate the SSID and WPA/WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After WPS is implemented, the N300 wireless 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.

To use a PIN to add a WPS client:

1.Log in to the N300 wireless modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 or http://www.routerlogin.net with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up.

2.On the N300 wireless modem router main menu, select Add WPS Client (computers that will connect wirelessly to the N300 wireless modem router are clients), and then click Next. The Add WPS Client screen displays:
