Select a security option.
The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security, but some older
computers and WiFi devices cannot use it. We recommend that you select the
WPA-PSK
[TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
radio button. This setting protects your WiFi network and lets
computers and WiFi devices connect to the WiFi network by using either WPA2 or WPA
security.

Control the WiFi Radios
The modem router internal WiFi radios broadcasts signals in the 2.4 GHz range. The
C3700v2 modem router also broadcasts in the 5 GHz range. By default, these radios are on
so that you can use WiFi to connect to the modem router. When the WiFi radios are off, you
can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the modem router.
You can turn the WiFi radios on and off with the
WiFi On/Off
button on the modem router, or
you can log in to the modem router and enable or disable the WiFi radios. If you are close to
the modem router, it might be easier to press its
WiFi On/Off
button. If you are away from the
modem router or you already logged in, it might be easier to enable or disable the radios.
Use the WiFi On/Off Button
To turn the WiFi radio off and on with the WiFi On/Off button:
Press the
WiFi On/Off
button on the modem router for two seconds.
If you turned off the WiFi radio, the WiFi On/Off LED and the WPS LED turn off. If you
turned on the WiFi radio, the WiFi On/Off LED and the WPS LED light.
Enable or Disable the WiFi Radios
If you used the
WiFi On/Off
button to turn off the WiFi radios, you can’t log in to the modem
router to turn them back on. You must press the
WiFi On/Off
button again for two seconds to
turn the WiFi radios back on.
