Changing Wireless Settings - Motorola MT7711 User Manual

Changing Wireless Settings

The MT7711 comes set up for wireless-N (2.4 GHz band) and wireless-AC (5
GHz band) with WPA2 security, with unique wireless network names (SSIDs)
for each band, and a unique password. Both bands use this password.
There's a good chance that you'll want to use these settings. In that case you
will need to configure client wireless devices (laptops, smartphones, etc.)
with your MT7711's wireless network names and password to connect the
devices to the Primary Network on your MT7711. (You may want to enable a
separate Guest Network or Networks for visitors and others for whom you
want to provide Internet access without also providing access to your
computers and other devices connected to your network.)
You may want to change the wireless settings on the Primary Network. The
most common reason is that you're replacing a cable modem/router and you
want to use the same wireless network names and passwords that you've
had. If you change the wireless settings on your MT7711 to match your
previous settings, you won't have to change the settings of wireless devices
that worked with your previous router. Unless there's a good reason to
change your wireless settings, you should use the unique ones assigned at
the factory.
To change the wireless settings, first log into the Configuration Manager as
described in chapter 6. In summary, you type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar
of your browser, go to that address, enter the Username admin and
Password motorola, then click the Login button.
