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 a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the 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 page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Advanced Wireless Settings.
The Advanced Wireless Settings page displays.
5.
Scroll down to the WPS Settings section in the lower part of the page.
The Router’s PIN field displays the fixed PIN that you use to configure the 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 router’s PIN is
enabled. For enhanced security, you can disable the router’s PIN by clearing the
Enable Router’s PIN check box. However, when you disable the router’s PIN, WPS
is not disabled because you can still use the physical Reset/WPS button.
Note: The PIN function might temporarily be disabled automatically if the router
detects suspicious attempts to break into the router’s WiFi settings by using the
router’s PIN through WPS. You can configure the number of times a failed PIN
connection is allowed before the PIN function is disabled.
7. To allow the WiFi settings to be changed automatically when you use WPS, clear
one or both of the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check boxes.
By default, both Keep Existing Wireless Settings check boxes are selected. We
recommend that you leave these check boxes selected. If you clear a check box, the
next time a new WiFi client uses WPS to connect to the router, the router’s associated
WiFi settings change to an automatically generated random SSID and passphrase.
