automatic disabling of the PIN.
You can change this setting only when the PIN is enabled. By default, automatic disabling
of the PIN is turned on.
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.
