The Router’s PIN field displays the PIN that you use on a registrar (for example, from the
Network Explorer on a Vista Windows computer) to configure the modem router’s WiFi
settings through WPS.
5. (Optional) Select or clear the Disable Router’s PIN check box.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the modem router detects
suspicious attempts to break into the modem router’s WiFi settings by using the modem
router’s PIN through WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by clearing the
Disable Router’s PIN check box.

modem router, the modem router WiFi settings change to an automatically generated
random SSID and security key.
