The WAC104’s PIN field displays the fixed PIN that you use if you want to configure
the AP’s WiFi settings from another platform through WPS.
6. To disable the PIN, clear the Enable WAC104’s PIN check box.
By default, the Enable WAC104’s PIN check box is selected and the AP’s PIN is
enabled. For enhanced security, you can disable the AP’s PIN by clearing the Enable
WAC104’s PIN check box. However, when you disable the AP’s PIN, WPS is not
disabled because you can still use the physical WPS button.
Note: The PIN function might temporarily be disabled automatically if the AP detects
suspicious attempts to break into the AP’s WiFi settings by using the AP’s PIN through
WPS.
7. To allow the WiFi settings to be changed automatically when you use WPS, clear the
Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box for the 2.4 GHz band, for the 5 GHz
band, or for both bands.
By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check boxes are selected. We
recommend that you leave these check boxes selected. If you clear the check box
for a band, the next time a new WiFi device uses WPS to connect to the AP, the AP
WiFi settings for the band change to an automatically generated random SSID and
passphrase. For information about viewing this SSID and passphrase, see View or
change the basic WiFi settings on page 33. Clear the Keep Existing Wireless
Settings check box for a band 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 for a band
and use WPS to add a WiFi device to the AP’s WiFi network, the SSID and passphrase
for the band are automatically generated and other WiFi devices that are already
connected to the AP’s WiFi network might be disconnected.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
