SSID (5.0GHz):__________________________
SSID (2.4GHz):__________________________
Encryption Key:__________________________
Connect to the Wireless Network
ŸOn your Wi-Fi device, confirm that Wi-Fi is turned on and view available wireless networks.
ŸSelect an SSID from the list of available networks. If you see both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSIDs, connect to either one. Otherwise, connect to the 2.4 GHz SSID.
Note: When deciding between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSIDs, consider the following:
ŸSelect 2.4 GHz if wireless range is a priority.
ŸSelect 5 GHz if network speed is a priority. There generally are fewer Wi-Fi devices and less interference in the 5 GHz band.
ŸIn the Network Security Key field (Windows) or Password field (Mac), enter the case-sensitive Encryption Key you recorded in Step 6.
ŸClick the OK, Connect, Join, or Apply button. Your device should now connect to the Internet.
ŸLaunch a web browser and enter a valid URL (for example, www.pace.com) to confirm your connection.

7 Auto-Setup Using WPS
The Gateway supports WPS, a quick and easy way to set up a secure Wi-Fi network. However, your laptops, tablets, and mobile devices must be WPScompatible to do so.
If you are not sure whether your devices support WPS, check them for the WPS label:
If you cannot find it, the device most likely does not support WPS and you will have to use the manual setup method. If your device does support WPS:
ŸPress the WPS button on your device (refer to the device’s manual).
ŸWithin two minutes, press the WPS button on the top of your Gateway:
ŸA message appears when the connection succeeds. If it fails, wait a few minutes, and then connect another device using WPS.
8 Optional Steps
The following procedures are optional, but recommended.
