wireless router automatically selects this check box so that your SSID and wireless security

settings remain the same if you add WPS-enabled devices or if you manually add non WPS-

capable devices later.

For more information on features of the advanced Wireless Settings screen, see “Scheduling

Wireless Signal Down Time” on page 4-14.

Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup

You can add more WPS clients to your wireless network, or you can add a combination of WPS-

enabled clients and clients without WPS.

Adding More WPS Clients

To add a wireless client device that is WPS-enabled:

1. Follow the procedures in “Using a WPS Button to Add a WPS Client” on page 2-12 or “Using

PIN Entry to Add a WPS Client” on page 2-14.

2. To view a list of all devices connected to your wireless router (including wireless and

Ethernet-connected), see “Viewing a List of Attached Devices” on page 4-10.

Note: If you clear either Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box, all wireless

settings and connections will be lost for that wireless network.

Note: Your wireless settings remain the same when you add another WPS-enabled client,

as long as the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected in the

Advanced Wireless screen (listed under the Advanced heading in the wireless

router main menu). If you clear this check box, when you add the client, a new

SSID and passphrase will be generated, and all existing connected wireless clients

will be disassociated and disconnected from the wireless router.
