Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices after WPS
Setup
You can add WPS-enabled and non-WPS-enabled client devices.
Adding Additional WPS-Enabled Clients
To add an additional wireless client device that is WPS enabled:
Note:
Your wireless settings do not change when you add an additional
WPS-enabled client unless you have cleared the
Keep Existing
Wireless Settings
check box (in the Wireless Settings screen). If
you do clear the check box, a new SSID and a passphrase are
generated, and all existing connected wireless clients are
disassociated and disconnected from the router.
1.
Follow the procedures in
Push Button Configuration
on page
31 or
Security PIN Entry
on page
33.

For information about how to view a list of all devices connected to your router (including
wireless and Ethernet-connected), see

on page

Adding Additional Non-WPS-Enabled Clients
If you are connecting a combination of WPS-enabled clients and clients that are not WPS
enabled, you cannot use the WPS setup procedures to add clients that are not WPS enabled.
To connect both non-WPS-enabled and WPS-enabled clients to the WGR614v11 router:
1.
Configure the settings of the WGR614v11 router (shown in the Wireless Settings
screen) for WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security, and record that information. See
Configuring WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK Wireless Security
on page
28.
When you change security settings, all existing connected wireless clients that do not
share those settings are disassociated and disconnected from the router.
2.
For the non-WPS-enabled devices that you wish to connect, open the networking utility, and
follow the utility’s instructions to enter security settings.
3.
For the WPS-enabled devices that you wish to connect, follow the procedures in
Using Push
'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
on page
31.
The WGR614v11 router automatically preserves the settings you configured in
step
1
so
all clients share the same security settings (for more information, see
Configuring the
WPS Settings
on page
34).
