Configuring Wireless access for the DDW3611 Advanced Wireless Gateway (AWG) is quick
and easy:
3.1 E W
ASY IRELESS
Time Warner Cable configures default values for all Wireless parameters. To start
using your wireless network right away, follow these steps:
Note the RF Cable MAC address on modem label (e.g,. C417FE7CD4BE). It will
be used in multiple instances for configuration, connectivity and access.

ELEVANT ERMS
1. Client Wireless Adapter (on PC, Mac, SmartPhone, etc) must support the speeds,
frequencies, and security/encryption standards that are configured on the DDW3611
Advanced Wireless Gateway (AWG).
2. Primary Network (SSID) – This is normally broadcasted by the DDW3611 AWG for
Wireless Clients to view and Connect. (e.g., DDW3611BE)
3. Encryption and Security – recommend using WPA-PSK with TKIP and WPA2-
PSK with AES. Newer adapters support WPA2-PSK with AES. WEP is old and
not secure.
4. Pre-Shared Key (PSK) – sometimes called the Wireless Key or Wireless
Password that is entered/stored on the DDW3611 and then compared when the
Wireless Client tries to connect. (e.g., DDW36117CD4BE )
5. 802.11 Wireless Frequency Band – recommend 2.4GHz, since most adapters,
including 802.11b/g/n, will support 2.4GHz channels.
a. Some newer 802.11n adapters will support 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
b. Several channels are in each band. Choose a channel manually, or use
AUTO Channel Selection to select for you. Clients reconnect to Primary
Network SSID automatically upon channel change.
6. Wireless Client Connection – From your PC/Mac/SmartPhone/etc,
View/Join/Connect to the DDW3611 Primary Network SSID that is being
broadcast. Enter the Pre-Shared Key from Step 4 above. You will connect and
then begin the DHCP IP request/offer process.
GATEWAY -> DHCP IP Pool – be sure you have sufficient IP addresses
Note:
defined for allocation to wireless clients AFTER they connect successfully to the
Primary Network SSID.
