Connecting Your Wireless Client

Before you start
Before you can connect a computer to your wireless network you need to know which Network Name (SSID)
and encryption your Thomson Gateway is using.
Where can I find the SSID?
If you did not change the SSID manually, your Thomson Gateway uses the SSID that is printed on the bottom
panel label of your Thomson Gateway.
Where can I find the encryption?
You have not yet configured your Thomson Gateway
In this case, no encryption is used.
You have already configured your Thomson Gateway using the Guided Installation

passphrase on the label on the bottom of your Thomson Gateway.
