2-17 Configuring Your Wireless Network and Security Settings

v1.0, November 2009

Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS

Setup

You can add more WPS clients to your wireless network, or you can add a combination of WPS-

enabled clients and clients without WPS.

Adding More WPS Clients

To add a wireless client device that is WPS-enabled:

1. Follow the procedures in “Using a WPS Button to Add a WPS Client” on page 2-14 or “Using

PIN Entry to Add a WPS Client” on page 2-15.

2. To view a list of all devices connected to your modem router (including wireless and Ethernet-

connected), see “Viewing a List of Attached Devices” on page 4-8.

Adding Both WPS and Non-WPS Clients

For non-WPS clients, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add them to the wireless

network. You must record, and then manually enter your security settings (see “Manually

Configuring Your Wireless Security” on page 2-7).

To connect a combination of non-WPS enabled and WPS-Enabled clients to the modem router:

1. Configure the network names (SSIDs), select the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK radio button on the

Wireless Settings screen (see “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings” on page 2-4).

and click Apply.

2. On the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK screen, select a passphrase and click Apply. Record this

information to add additional clients.

3. For the non-WPS devices that you want to connect, open the networking utility and follow the

utility’s instructions to enter the SSID, WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK security method, and

passphrase.

Note: Your wireless settings remain the same when you add another WPS-enabled client,

as long as the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected in the

Advanced Wireless screen (listed under the Advanced heading in the modem router

main menu). If you clear this check box, when you add the client, a new SSID and

passphrase will be generated, and all existing connected wireless clients will be

disassociated and disconnected from the modem router.
