WiFi Network Name and Password

The preset WiFi network name (SSID) and password (network key)
are unique to your modem router, like a serial number. Because the
modem router automatically uses WiFi security, you don’t need to set it
up. The WiFi settings are on the label on the modem router.

We recommend that you use the preset WiFi settings because you can
check the label if you forget them. You can also log in to the modem router
to change these settings. If you do so, write down the new WiFi settings
and store them in a safe place.

You can write the WiFi settings from the label on your modem router in
this space for easy reference. If you change the WiFi settings, write the
new settings here for easy reference and store this booklet in a safe place.

You can either use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or select your WiFi
network and type its password.

Join the WiFi Network Using WPS

For help with the WPS button on your computer or other WiFi-enabled
device, check the instructions or online help that came with that computer
or device. Some older equipment cannot use WPS.

¾ To join the network using WPS:

2. Within two minutes, on your computer or other WiFi-enabled device,

The WPS LED on the modem router lights solid white when the

computer or WiFi-enabled device connects to your modem router.

3. Repeat this process to add other computers or WiFi-enabled devices.

Join the WiFi Network Using the
Modem Router’s WiFi Settings

Use the modem router’s WiFi network name and password to connect
your computer or other WiFi-enabled device to the modem router through
WiFi. If you did not change the modem router’s WiFi network name and
password, the modem router’s WiFi network name and password are on
the label on the modem router.

¾ To select your network and enter its password:

1. On your computer or other WiFi-enabled device, open the WiFi
connection manager that manages your WiFi connections.

The WiFi connection manager scans for WiFi networks in your area.

2. Find and select your modem router’s WiFi network name (SSID).
The SSID is on the label on the modem router.

3. Enter the modem router’s password (or your custom password if you
changed it) and click the Connect button.

The password is on the label on the modem router.

4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to add other computers or
WiFi-enabled devices.
