To learn how to connect additional wired and wireless computers and other
devices to your Cable Modem/Router go to: Chapter 3: Connecting Other
Devices to your Cable Modem/Router.
Your Cable Modem/Router comes from the factory with a default SSID (Wireless
Network Name), wireless security enabled and a random Pre-Shared Key
(Security Key/Password). These default settings for your modem/router are listed
on the bottom label of your cable modem/router. Most users can simply use the
default settings. You may want to change the wireless settings if you are
replacing a wireless router and want to use the same wireless network name and
wireless password as the existing router instead of changing all your wireless
devices to use the Cable Modem/Router’s defaults, or in the unlikely event that
one of the wireless devices only supports WEP security. If you want to make
changes to the default wireless settings, please refer to Chapter 4: Changing
your Wireless Settings.
If you are using the Cable Modem/Router for online gaming and need to make
changes to the router’s firewall, please see Chapter 5: Online Gaming
.
If you are like most users, you will not need to make changes to the Cable
Modem/Router’s advanced settings. If your setup requires you to make changes
to advanced settings, go to Chapter 6: Advanced Settings
.
