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. For information about viewing this SSID and passphrase, see
Change the Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security Settings
on page 78.
Clear a Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box only if you want to allow the WPS process to
change the associated SSID and passphrase for WiFi access.
WARNING:
If you clear a Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box and use WPS to add
a computer or mobile device to the router’s WiFi network, the associated SSID
and passphrase are automatically generated and other WiFi devices that are
already connected to the router’s WiFi network might be disconnected.

Manage Advanced WiFi Settings
For most WiFi networks, the advanced WiFi settings work fine and you do not need to change the settings.
If you want to change the WiFi settings of the router’s main network, use a wired connection
to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
