Be sure to write down and save the new wireless network names and
passwords in a place where you can easily find it. One approach is to write
them on a small piece of paper and tape it on the bottom of your cable
modem. Some people like to take a picture of the settings with their phone,
which is fine as long as long as they save it in a place where they are sure to
find it when they need it.
