Changing Your Wireless Network Name(Ssid) And Pre-Shared Key - Zoom Cable Modem/Router User Manual

You can check to see if all other clients that you plan to put on the network support WPA
or WPA2. You can do this by checking the manual that came with each device or by
checking the configuration software for the installed device. Look under Security or
Encryption or Setup or Advanced Features. Most devices will support one of these
modes.

(Pre-Shared key) used by your Cable Modem/Router go to

1 Open the Zoom Configuration Manager by typing the following in your Web browser's
address bar: http://192.168.0.1
2 In the Login dialog box, type the following User Name and Password in lower case,
then click Login.
User Name: admin
Password: admin
3 Click Wireless on the top menu.
4 Then click Primary Network on the left-side menu and in the text box labeled
Network Name (SSID), type an SSID of your choice. The SSID needs to be at least
one character long, and it's probably best to pick a name that you'll recognize as
yours.
5 To change the wireless security, start by setting all the following drop-down menus to
Disable: WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK.
6 Then select Enable for the mode(s) you choose for setting wireless security.
Note: To use WPA2 /WPA, all of the wireless devices on your network must support
either encryption method. In this case, enable:
o WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (if you want to use a Pre-Shared Key)
or
o WPA and WPA2 (use this only if your network uses a Radius Server. This
is very uncommon for a home network)
