Network Explorer on a Vista Windows computer) to configure the router's wireless
settings through WPS.
5. (Optional) Select or clear the Disable Router's PIN check box.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the router detects suspicious

WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by clearing the Disable Router's PIN
check box.

SSID and security key.

Your changes are saved.

Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point

The router can function in access point (AP) mode instead of regular router mode. In AP
mode, the router can function as a bridge between WiFi clients and another router or
gateway in your network that connects to the Internet. When the router functions in AP mode,
many router functions are disabled, but WiFi clients can connect to the router. You can still
access the router to change the configuration, for example, to disable AP mode and return to
regular router mode.
To enable and configure AP mode:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
