By default, these check boxes are selected. NETGEAR recommends that you leave them
selected. If you clear these check boxes, the next time that a new WiFi client uses WPS
to connect to the modem router, the WiFi settings of the modem router change to an
automatically generated random SSID and passphrase for the band to which the client
connects. For information about viewing this SSID and passphrase, see Manage the
Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security of the Main Network on page 93.
Clear the Keep Existing W

the SSID and passphrase for WiFi access for the WiFi band.
WARNING:
If you clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box for a
WiFi band and use WPS to add a computer or WiFi device to that
band of the modem router’s WiFi network, the SSID and passphrase
are automatically generated and other WiFi devices that are already
connected to the band of the modem router’s WiFi network might
be disconnected.
