Wireless Advanced Settings (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
• Enable Wireless Router Radio. When this check box is selected, the router works as an
access point broadcasting a wireless signal.
• The Fragmentation Length, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode fields are used for

WPS Settings
Router’s PIN. The PIN number that you use on a registrar (for example, from the Network

The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the router detects suspicious attempts
to break into the router’s wireless settings by using the router’s PIN through WPS. You can
manually enable the PIN function by clearing the Disable Router’s PIN check box.

when WPS-enabled devices are added to the network.
If the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is not selected, the next time you use WPS
to connect WPS-capable devices to your wireless network, the router generates a new
random SSID and WPA/WPA2 passphrase. NETGEAR does not recommend this.
