View or Configure Your Wireless Network
The Wireless Setup screen lets you view or configure the wireless network set-up.
The wireless cable gateway comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID), network key (password), and security option
(encryption protocol) are preset in the factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the label of the unit.
Note: The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and maximize your wireless security.
Best practice is not change your preset security settings. If you do decide to change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store
it in a safe place. If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless security settings, you are disconnected when
you click the Apply button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the gateway.
To view or change basic wireless settings:
From the BASIC tab, select Wireless.
1.
The screen sections, settings, and procedures are explained in the following sections.
2. Make the appropriate changes.
3. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved.
4. Set up and test your wireless devices and computers to make sure that they can connect wirelessly. If they do not, check the following:
• Is your wireless device or computer connected to your network or another wireless network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically
connect to the first open network (without wireless security) that they discover.
• Does your wireless device or computer appear on the Network Map screen? If it does, it is connected to the network.
• If you are not sure what the network name (SSID) or password is, look on the label on your gateway.
