7. To allow the wireless settings to be changed automatically when you use WPS, clear the
Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box.
By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected. NETGEAR
recommends that you leave this check box selected. If you clear this check box, the next
time a new WiFi client uses WPS to connect to the modem router, the modem router WiFi
settings change to an automatically generated random SSID and passphrase. For
information about viewing this SSID and passphrase, see
Settings and WiFi Security of the Main Network
Wireless Settings check box only if you want to allow the WPS process to change the
SSID and passphrase for WiFi access.
WARNING:
If you clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box and use
WPS to add a computer or WiFi device to the modem router's WiFi
network, the SSID and passphrase are automatically generated and
other WiFi devices that are already connected to the modem
router's WiFi network might be disconnected.
