1. Log in to the router.
For more information, see Log In to Your Router After Installation on page 18.

4.Clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings (2.4GHz b/g/n) check box.
This check box is selected by default. However, when the check box is selected, some applications such as Network Explorer in Windows Vista might not detect the router.
CAUTION: When you clear this check box and you add a new wireless client through WPS, the router’s wireless settings change to an automatically generated SSID and passphrase. (The passphrase is also referred to as the wireless network password or network key.)
