Connecting a Windows 7 Computer with Built-in
Wireless Capabilities

1 Click the Wireless Network Configuration utility icon in your computer’s
system tray.
2 If available, click on Zoomxxxx_5G to connect to your Cable Modem/Router’s 5 GHz
network. If you do not see Zoomxxxx_5G than most likely your wireless adapter
does not support the 5 GHz network, so go ahead and 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.
3 Click Connect. If you want to connect to this network automatically in the future,
check the Connect Automatically checkbox.
4 When prompted to enter your Network Security Key, enter your Pre-Shared Key
(Security Key/Password) and click OK. Your Security Key/Password can be found on
the bottom label of your Cable Modem/Router.
5 Test your wireless connection. Open your computer’s Web browser and try to
connect to a familiar Website. If you are unable to connect, make sure you followed
the instructions. If you did, please see
Appendix A: Troubleshooting Tips.
Your computer 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 Left-click the wireless network icon in the notification area of the Windows taskbar.
2 Left-click your SSID (wireless network name) and select Disconnect.
