WiFi Cable Modem Router Model C3000v2 and C3700v2
Change the WiFi Security Option
Your modem router comes with preset WPA2 and WPA security. The password that you enter
to connect to your network is unique to your modem router and is on the modem router label.
We recommend that you do not disable security.
To change the WPA settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is
connected to the network.
2.
Type
http://routerlogin.net
or
http://192.168.0.1

A login window opens.
3.
Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is

Under Security Options, select a WPA option:
•
WPA2-PSK [AES]
•

The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security, but some older
computers and WiFi devices cannot use WPA2. By default, the
WPA-PSK [TKIP] +
WPA2-PSK [AES]
radio button is selected so that new or old computers and WiFi
devices can connect to the WiFi network by using either WPA2 or WPA security.

Passphrase
field, enter the network key (password) that you want to use.
