N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000 User Manual
Wireless AP. Indicates if the access point feature is enabled. If disabled, the Wireless
LED on the front panel is off.
Broadcast Name. Indicates if the wireless modem router is configured to broadcast
its SSID.
Security. Indicates if security is configured on the wireless modem router, and if so,
what type of security is configured.
WPS Settings.
Router's PIN. The PIN number that you use on a registrar (for example, from the
Network Explorer on a Vista Windows PC) to configure the wireless modem router's
wireless settings through WPS. You can also find the PIN on the wireless modem
router's product label.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the wireless modem router
detects suspicious attempts to break into the wireless modem router's wireless
settings by using the wireless modem router's PIN through WPS. You can manually
enable the PIN function by clearing the Disable Router's PIN check box.
Keep Existing Wireless Settings. By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings
check box is selected. This allows the modem router to keep the same SSID and
wireless security settings when WPS-enabled devices are added to the network.
If the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is not selected, the next time you
use WPS to connect WPS-capable devices to your wireless network, the modem
router generates a new random SSID and WPA/WPA2 passphrase. NETGEAR does
not recommend this.
