Setting up a Wi-Fi network connection
ARRIS recommends that you first verify that your computer (or laptop) can access the
Internet using a wired Ethernet connection before configuring your Wi-Fi home network.
For Internet connections in your home, you must have access to an Internet service before
you can set up a Wi-Fi network connection. If you do not have an Internet service already
set up in your home, contact a broadband service provider of your choice for assistance.
Before proceeding with the mobile app download, check that the G34/G36 and your
connected client device (e.g., laptop or personal computer) are connected to the Internet.
