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

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 modem 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 modem router.
To add a wireless client device that is WPS-enabled:
1. Follow the procedures in
PIN Entry to Add a WPS Client" on page
2. To view a list of all devices connected to your modem router (including wireless and Ethernet-
connected), see "Viewing a List of Attached Devices" on page

Adding Both WPS and Non-WPS Clients

For non-WPS clients, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add them to the wireless
network. You must record, and then manually enter your security settings (see
Configuring Your Wireless Security" on page
To connect a combination of non-WPS enabled and WPS-Enabled clients to the modem router:
1. Configure the network names (SSIDs), select the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK radio button on the
Wireless Settings screen (see
and click Apply.
2. On the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK screen, select a passphrase and click Apply. Record this
information to add additional clients.
3. For the non-WPS devices that you want to connect, open the networking utility and follow the
utility's instructions to enter the SSID, WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK security method, and
passphrase.
