Disabling Security.

Changing the Pre-Shared Key and SSID from the default settings

In the default security setting, both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK are enabled. The default SSID is

ZOOM and Pre-Shared Key is

zoom#### where #### represents the last 4 characters of

the Cable MAC address of the unit, which can be found on the label on the bottom of the cable

modem/router. If you want to change the SSID and/or the Pre-Shared Key, go to WPA/WPA2

Security.

WPA/WPA2 Security

WPA and WPA2 use a passphrase or PSK that you choose and enter on the Cable Modem/Router

and other wireless devices on the network (clients) to set up security. To use WPA/WPA2, all of the

wireless devices on your network must support either encryption method. If you know that all your

devices support the more secure WPA2 you can enable WPA2 only instead of both WPA and WPA2.

1 Open the Zoom Configuration Manager by typing the following in your Web browser's address

bar:

http://192.168.0.1

2 In the Enter Network Password dialog box, type the following User Name and Password in

lower case, then click OK..

User Name: admin

Password: admin

(The User Name and Password entered here are not the same as the User Name and Password

that your Internet service provider may have given you.)

3 Click Wireless on the top menu.

4 Then click Primary Network on the left-side menu and in the text box labeled Network Name

(SSID), type an SSID of your choice. The SSID needs to be at least one character long, and it’s

probably best to pick a name that you’ll recognize as yours.

5 Start by setting all the following drop-down menus to Disable: WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and

WPA2-PSK.

6 Then select Enable for the mode(s) you choose for setting wireless security.

Note: To use WPA2 /WPA, all of the wireless devices on your network must support either

encryption method. In this case, enable:

o WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (if you want to use a Pre-Shared Key)

o WPA and WPA2 (use this only if your network uses a Radius Server. This is very

uncommon for a home network)
