Before you start
Before you can connect a wireless client (for example, a computer) to your wireless network you need to know the wireless
settings that are currently used by the TG789vac v2, i.e.:
• The Network Name (SSID)
• The wireless key
What Network Name (SSID) is my TG789vac v2 using?
If you did not change the SSID, your TG789vac v2 uses the Network Name that is printed on the bottom panel label of your
TG789vac v2.
What wireless key is my TG789vac v2 using?
If you did not change the security settings, no wireless key is used.
Forgot your wireless key?
If you have changed the wireless settings manually and you cant remember your settings, try one of the following:
