Change your Wi-Fi network name (SSID)
The SSID (Service Set Identification) is the Wi-Fi network name assigned to your G34/G36
Wi-Fi network. The default SSID (listed on the
Wi‑Fi
cable modem label) is automatically
populated in the network configuration screens. A list of available Wi-Fi networks (SSIDs)
near your home (for example, neighbors or local businesses) will display when you or
someone else in your home attempts to establish a Wi-Fi network connection. For security
purposes and quick recognition of your Wi-Fi network, ARRIS recommends that you change
the default SSID.
Note:
When you change the SSID, any Wi-Fi devices that are connected to your
Wi‑Fi
network will be disconnected. The Wi-Fi devices must be reconnected to your
Wi-Fi network using the new SSID.
To change your Wi-Fi network name (SSID):
1. Open a web browser and log on to the G34/G36 to open the G34/G36 Web Manager.
