Note: Your wireless settings do not change when you add an additional WPS-enabled
client unless you have cleared the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box (in
the Wireless Settings screen). If you do clear the check box, a new SSID and a
passphrase are generated, and all existing connected wireless clients are
disassociated and disconnected from the router.

Adding Additional Non-WPS-Enabled Clients
If you are connecting a combination of WPS-enabled clients and clients that are not WPS enabled,
you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add clients that are not WPS enabled.
To connect both non-WPS-enabled and WPS-enabled clients to the WPN824N router:
1. Configure the settings of the WPN824N router (shown in the Wireless Settings screen) for
WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security, and record that information. See
and WPA2-PSK Wireless Security" on page
When you change security settings, all existing connected wireless clients that do not share
those settings are disassociated and disconnected from the router.
2. For the non-WPS-enabled devices that you wish to connect, open the networking utility, and
follow the utility's instructions to enter security settings.
3. For the WPS-enabled devices that you wish to connect, follow the procedures in
'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)" on page
The WPN824N router automatically preserves the settings you configured in
clients share the same security settings (for more information, see
