• 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 may 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 deselecting the Disable
Router's PIN check box.
• By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is cleared. This
allows the modem router to automatically generate the SSID and WPA/
WPA2 security settings when it implements WPS. After WPS is
implemented, the modem router automatically selects this check box so that
your SSID and wireless security settings remain the same if other WPS-
enabled devices are added later.
• If you configure your wireless router settings and security manually, the
Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box will also be enabled. This will
allow you to use WPS (Push 'N' Connect) to connect additional WPS
capable devices to your wireless network using the existing settings.
