Setting up for Wi-Fi
These instructions are applicable for all types of internet services.
1.
Your modem already has 2 default Wi-Fi networks set up on it. You’ll find the username and passwords for
each of these networks on the sticker on the base of the modem, as well as on a
Wireless Security Card
found in the box.
2.
Almost every Wi-Fi device can connect to the
2.4GHz
network, but older devices may have trouble on the
5GHz network. If it’s not working on the 5GHz network, switch to the 2.4GHz one.
3.
We recommend that you leave the default Wi-Fi details unchanged – once you’ve connected a device to your
Wi-Fi network, it should remember your Wi-Fi details for you. You can get connected using the default Wi-Fi
details by following the advice on page 20.
4.
If you want, you can change your Wi-Fi details during the Startup Wizard or by logging in at
http://10.1.1.1
(default username and password both “admin”) and clicking the
Wireless 2.4GHz
or
Wireless 5GHz
tabs in
Basic view.
IMPORTANT
It’s good to love your neighbour, but not enough to give them free Wi-Fi! You should always
set a password for your Wi-Fi connection and only share it with people you trust.
