Connecting a Wireless-enabled Device (including the
iPhone or other cellular phones, iPad or other tablets,
the iPod Touch, etc.) to the Cable Modem/Router

1 Select the wireless-enabled computer or device that you want to add to the network.
The device should have software that will let it perform a site search to scan for
available wireless networks in your area. You may have to click on something like
Settings and then Wi-Fi. When the list of available wireless networks appears, click
on Zoomxxxx_5G to connect to your Cable Modem/Router’s 5 GHz network. If you
do not see Zoomxxxx_5G then most likely your wireless adapter does not support
the 5 GHz network, so click on Zoomxxxx. In both cases, xxxx are the last 4
characters of the cable modem CM MAC address. You can find Zoomxxxx printed
on the bottom label of your Cable Modem/Router. In the unlikely event that you
changed the SSID from the default, select your new SSID.
2 When prompted for the wireless password, enter your Pre-Shared Key (Security
Key/Password) and click Connect or Join. Your Security Key/Password can be
found on the bottom label of your Cable Modem/Router.
Tip!
If you need help, refer to the documentation that came with your wireless device.
3 Test your wireless connection. Open your device’s Web browser (for instance,
Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome) and try to connect to a familiar Web address. If
you are unable to connect, make sure you followed the instructions. If you did,
please see
Appendix A: Troubleshooting Tips.
Your device is now connected to your wireless network. If you want to connect additional
computers or devices, follow the instructions for your device by starting at the first page
of this chapter.
To disconnect from the current network:
1 On your wireless device or computer, find the wireless network connection option
(similar to the process of adding your device or computer to the network).
2 Select or click on Disconnect, Forget, Forget this network or similarly-named
button
. In doing this, you may need to select your SSID (wireless network name).
