Changing your wireless passphrase 

The default wireless Passphrase for the gateway is located on the back of the Gateway for your 
convenience.  

The default wireless Passphrase is secure and can remain as the default.  However, you can change 
it by clicking on Wireless Settings under Setup. WPA-PSK[TKIP] + WPA2-PSK[AES] should already be 
selected. Enter in a new password in the Passphrase box. Must be 8 – 63 characters.  

 

NOTE: It is NOT recommended to “disable” the Gateway security.  It will allow others to gain access to your 
network and could cause a potential security risk to personal folders, files, documents and allow others to 
contribute to your bandwidth usage.
