Add Wireless Computers That Do Not Support WPS

If you set up your network with WPS, and now you want to add a computer that does not
support WPS, you must manually configure that computer. For information about how to view
the wireless settings for the router, see
page 26.
Because WPA randomly creates the SSID and WPA/WPA2 keys, they might be difficult to
type or remember (that is one reason why the network is so secure). You can change the
wireless settings so that they are easier for you to remember. If you do that, then you need to
set up the WPS-compatible computers again.
Note: Making these changes disconnects all wireless computers from
network. You then have to set them up with the new wireless
settings.

To change wireless settings for the network:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to the router. That way you are not
disconnected when you change the wireless settings.
2. Log in to the router and select Wireless Settings (see
Settings on page 26).
3. Make the following changes:
• Change the wireless network name (SSID) to a meaningful name.
