Manage the WPS Settings

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you join the WiFi network without typing the WiFi
password. You can change the WPS default settings.

To manage WPS Settings:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Advanced Wireless Settings screen displays.
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen.
The Router's PIN field displays the fixed PIN that you use to configure the modem
router's WiFi settings from another platform through WPS.
6. To disable the PIN, clear the Enable Router's PIN check box.
By default, the Enable Router's PIN check box is selected and the modem router's PIN is
enabled. For enhanced security, you can disable the modem router's PIN by clearing the
Enable Router's PIN check box. However, when you disable the modem router's PIN,
WPS is not disabled because you can still use the physical WPS button.
Note: The PIN function might temporarily be disabled automatically if the
modem router detects suspicious attempts to break into the modem
router's WiFi settings by using the router's PIN through WPS.
