2.2.2 Connecting a Wireless Device

Use the following steps to connect a wireless device to the cable modem (for example, a

laptop computer).

Default values are shown in the steps below. Some regions may change default values

using the cable modem or XML configuration file. Check with your provisioning team to

determine the default values for your region.

Steps

To connect a wireless device to the cable modem:

1. Access the wireless networking feature on your wireless device. On a Windows

computer, for example, double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon in the

system tray (lower-right side of the Windows desktop).

2. Click View Wireless Networks. The device is shipped with a default SSID. The SSID

is the name of the wireless network broadcast from the device so that wireless clients

can connect to it.

3. Double-click your SSID in the wireless networks window. The default SSID is the

device name DVW3201B plus the last 2 characters of the cable modem’s MAC

address, with letters entered in upper case.

Example: DVW3201BE3

Notes: You can find the MAC address on the device label or by opening an Internet

browser window to the device. Refer to Using the Information Option on page 21 for

instructions. If the subscriber changes the SSID, the device does not revert to this

default SSID upon any reset of the device, except in the case of a manual reset using

the device’s Web UI. See Understanding the Tools Menu on page 81.

When prompted, enter the Network Key, which is the device name (DVW3201B) plus

the last 6 characters (3 octets) of the cable modem’s MAC address (UPPER case, if

letters).

Example: DVW3201B9822E3

 If using WPS, enter the WPS personal identification number (PIN). The WPS PIN

is a randomly-generated number found on the Wireless Primary Network screen.

Refer to Using the Primary Network Option on page 61.

WPA-WPA2 AES is the default encryption method.
