The WPS process automatically sets up your computer or mobile device with the
network password when it connects. The cable modem router WPS page displays
a confirmation message.
Specify Basic WiFi Settings
The cable modem router comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network
name (SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are
preset in the factory. You can find the preset SSID and password on the cable modem
router label.
The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and
maximize your WiFi security.
If you change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store
it in a safe place where you can easily find it.
If you use a WiFi connection to change the WiFi network name (SSID) or other WiFi
security settings, you are disconnected when you click the Apply button. To avoid this
problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the cable modem router.
To specify basic WiFi settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
cable modem router network.
2.
Enter http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the cable modem router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4.
Select Wireless.
The Wireless Setup page displays.
5.
In the Region menu, select your region.
In some locations, you cannot change this setting.
6.
To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check
box.
When this check box is selected, the cable modem router broadcasts its network
name (SSID) so that it displays when you scan for local WiFi networks on your
computer or mobile device.
