Note: The Fragmentation Length, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble

Mode options are reserved for wireless testing and advanced

configuration only. Do not change these settings.

Transmit Power Control. You can change the transmit power of each wireless radio. Lower

transmit power reduces the power consumption of the router, but also reduces the wireless

coverage.

Turn off wireless signal by schedule. You can use this feature to turn off the wireless signal

from your router at times when you do not need a wireless connection. For example, you

could turn it off for the weekend if you leave town.

WPS Settings.You can add use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to join the wireless network.

See Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Method on page 19.

• Router's PIN. You can use this number to join the wireless network using WPS from a

computer or wireless device. The Router’s PIN has to be enabled for you to do this.

• Enable Router's PIN. You can configure the router's wireless settings or add a wireless

client through WPS using the router's PIN only when the PIN is enabled.

• Auto Disable PIN. Selecting this check box causes the PIN to stop working after the

number of failed PIN connections that you specify.

This setting protects the router from a brute force attack. If the PIN is disabled

automatically, it remains disabled until the router reboots or you log in to the router and

change the setting by selecting the Enable Router's PIN check box and clicking the Apply

button.

• Keep Existing Wireless Settings. Leave this check box selected so that the wireless

settings stay the same when a wireless computer or device uses WPS to join the

network.

If you clear this check box, and someone uses WPS to join the network, the wireless

SSID and WPA2 or WPA password are automatically changed to random values. In

addition, if this option is selected, some software such as Network Explorer on Windows

Vista might not detect the wireless network.

Wireless Card Access List. Click the Set Up Access List button display the Wireless Card

Access List screen. You can restrict access to your network to specific devices based on their

MAC address.
