3. (Optional) Select or clear the Disable Router's PIN check box.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the router detects suspicious
attempts to break into the router's wireless settings by using the router's PIN through
WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by clearing the Disable Router's PIN
check box.
4. (Optional) Select or clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box.
The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi bands are configured separately. By default, the Keep
Existing Wireless Settings check boxes are selected. NETGEAR recommends that you
leave this check box selected.
If you clear these check boxes, the next time a new wireless client uses WPS to connect
to the router, the router wireless settings change to an automatically generated random
SSID and security key.
5. Click the Apply button.
Your changes are saved.

Set Up a Wireless Access List by MAC Address

You can set up a list of computers and wireless devices that are allowed to join the wireless
network. This list is based on the unique MAC address of each computer and device.
Each network device has a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address,
containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and separated by colons (for
example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the label of the wireless
card or network interface device. If you do not have access to the label, you can display the
MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find the
MAC addresses in the Attached Devices screen.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
