Setup Your Home Wi-Fi Network And Set A Password - Arris DOCSIS SURFboard S33 User Manual

Setup your home Wi-Fi network and set a
password
1. Name your home network and choose a password. You will be able to connect and
manage all Wi-Fi enabled and wired devices on this new home network. Tap NEXT.
Note: A shortcut - If you previously had a home Wi-Fi network, you can use
the network name (SSID) and password from your old network as the network
name (SSID) and password for your new network. That way, your devices
previously connected to the old network should automatically connect to the new
SURFboard mAX home Wi-Fi network. This will only work if you remove or disable
your old router. It is possible that some devices may need to be reconnected
manually even if your SSID and password are the same as your previous network.
Note: If you wish to have your wired devices connect to the new mAX network
(recommended), be sure to disconnect the wired devices from your old gateway
or router and reconnect them into the Ethernet port on the underside of your
mAX router. If you have more than one device, you can plug a multi-port switch
(not included) into this port to support multiple devices.
2. The mAX router will create your new SURFboard mAX home Wi-Fi network and register
your device under your SURFboard account. You may receive a prompt from your mobile
device to confirm connecting to the SSID you created. If you receive this prompt, confirm
joining the network.
3. Once complete, the CONGRATULATIONS screen is displayed in your mobile app. Tap
CONTINUE.
Your mAX router setup is complete. This app provides your interface to managing your mAX
router. Tap GET STARTED to see a quick tutorial on how to navigate the app when managing
your mAX router.
Note: If you want to set up your mAX satellite at this time, choose INSTALL NOW
on the next screen. If you choose the option to INSTALL LATER, refer to
