Connecting A Wireless-Enabled Device (Including The Iphone Or Other Cellular Phones, Ipad Or Other Tablets, The Ipod Touch, Etc.) To The Cable Modem/Router - Zoom Cable Modem/Router User Manual

Connecting a Wireless-enabled Device (including the
iPhone or other cellular phones, iPad or other tablets,
the iPod Touch, etc.) to the Cable Modem/Router
1 Select the wireless-enabled computer or device that you want to add to the network.
The device should have software that will let it perform a site search to scan for
available wireless networks in your area. You may have to click on something like
Settings and then Wi-Fi. When the list of available wireless networks appears,
typically you select Zoomxxxx where xxxx is 4 random alpha-numeric characters.
Zoomxxxx is the SSID printed on the bottom label of your Cable Modem/Router. In
the unlikely event that you changed the SSID from the default, select your new SSID.
2 When prompted for the wireless password, enter your Pre-Shared Key (Security
Key/Password) and hit Connect. Your Security Key/Password can be found on the
bottom label of your Cable Modem/Router.
Tip!
If you need help, refer to the documentation that came with your wireless device.
3 Test your wireless connection. Open your device's Web browser (for instance,
Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome) and try to connect to a familiar Web address. If
you are unable to connect, make sure you followed the instructions. If you did,
please see Appendix A: Troubleshooting
Your device is now connected to your wireless network. If you want to connect additional
computers or devices, follow the instructions for your device by starting at the first page
of this chapter.
To disconnect from the current network:
1 On your wireless device or computer, find the wireless network connection option
(similar to the process of adding your device or computer to the network).
2 Click or highlight your SSID (wireless network name).
3 Select or click on Disconnect or similarly-named button
