Wireless Router
As noted before, the MT7711 has a unique Wireless Network Name/SSID
and Wireless Security Key/Password printed on the MT7711’s bottom label.
Set up your wireless devices to work with this SSID and security key, or with
the SSID and security key you specified, if you changed them.
Note that wireless performance depends on a number of factors. Please
keep these things in mind:
•
Where possible, put the MT7711 in a central place so that it’s not too far
away from your wireless devices that need Internet access.
•
Try to avoid interference from Bluetooth headsets and stereos, microwave
ovens, WiFi-capable printers, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones and base
stations. Try not to put the MT7711 close to these interfering devices.
•
Sometimes it helps to change the MT7711 wireless channel frequency to
reduce interference with neighbors’ wireless networks. This is discussed in
the Troubleshooting section of this Quick Start.
•
Wireless range can be limited by a variety of issues, including weak wireless
clients and challenging building configurations. Sometimes devices with a
weak wireless signal will connect to the MT7711, and often those devices can
slow down your network’s WiFi. If you need greater wireless range far away
from your MT7711, you could add a Range Extender. For more information,

If you have coaxial cable running near your router and a distant wireless
access point, HDTV, or other device, MoCA is often a good way to connect
the router to the device. MoCA can share the same cable used for cable TV
or cable Internet. With the Motorola MM1000 MoCA Adapter, speeds are up
to 1,000 Mbps. Please see
