Adding Additional WPS-Enabled Clients
To add an additional wireless client device that is WPS enabled:
1. Follow the procedures in “Push Button Configuration” on page 2-13 or “PIN Entry” on
page 2-14.
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 page6-7.
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. You need to
record and then manually enter your security settings (see “Recording Basic Wireless Settings
Setup Information” on page 2-4).
To connect non-WPS-enabled and WPS-enabled clients to the WNDR3300 router:
1. Restore the router to factory default settings (see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications”).
After you restore factory settings, all existing connected wireless clients are disassociated and
disconnected from the router.
2. Configure the network names (SSIDs) and security passphrase of the WNDR3300 router
(shown in the Wireless Settings screen) as appropriate, and record that information. See
“Viewing Basic Wireless Settings” on page2-6.
3. 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.
4. For the WPS-enabled devices that you wish to connect, follow the procedures in “Push Button
Configuration” on page 2-13 or “PIN Entry” on page2-14.
5. 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 page6-7.
Note: Your wireless settings do not change when you add an additional WPS-enabled
client unless you have cleared the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box (in
the Wireless Settings screen). If you do clear the check box, new SSIDs and a
passphrase are generated, and all existing connected wireless clients are
disassociated and disconnected from the router.
