5.(Optional) Clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box.

By default, this check box is selected. 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 (also referred to as the wireless network password or network key).

6.Click the Apply button.

Set Up a Wireless Card Access List

By default, any wireless device that is configured with the correct SSID is allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to allow only specific wireless devices based on their MAC addresses.

Note: If you use a wireless computer to set up a wireless card access list, add your wireless computer to the access list; otherwise, you are disconnected when you click the Apply button. To avoid this situation, use a computer with a wired connection to access the router.

To restrict access to your network to specific wireless devices:

1.Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings. The Advanced Wireless Settings screen displays.

2.Click the Set Up Access List button.
