The default SSID (wireless network name) is assigned as
Zoomxxxx
(where
xxxx ar 4 random alpha-numeric characters). This SSID is printed on the back
label of your Cable Modem/Router.
Most users should simply use these default settings. If you want to change these default
settings please see,
Chapter 4, Changing the Default Wireless Settings
before
connecting your wireless computers or devices.
You must use compatible wireless settings for each computer or device that you want to
wirelessly connect to the Cable Modem/Router, as described below.
Establishing your Wireless Network
If all the computers or devices on your network support WPS, you can use WPS to easily
set up your network. Windows 8.1, 8, and 7 support WPS. Non Windows devices
typically have a button called WPS on them if they support WPS. (Note: Apple iPads,
iPhones, and Macintosh computers do not support WPS as of Febuary 2015.) Please
see
Using WPS to set up your Wireless network
if you want to use WPS for wireless
connections to your Cable Modem/Router.
If some of the wireless devices do not support WPS, or if you do not know whether they
do support WPS, you can configure each computer or device manually. To do that,
select one of the possibilities for that computer or other device below:
If you have a
non-computer
wireless device like an iPhone or other cellular
phone, iPad or other tablet, iPod Touch
, etc., see the instructions on page 18 for
Connecting a Wireless-enabled Device to your Cable Modem/Router
.
Many
newer
Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, and XP computers have built-in wireless
networking
capabilities and do not require the installation of a wireless component.
If this is the case, you should set up that computer’s wireless connection using the
Windows 8.1 or 8, 7, Vista, or XP connect utility. See
the sections below on
connecting
Windows 8.1 or 8
(page 19),
Windows 7
(page 20),
Vista
(page 20), or
XP
(page 22) computers with built-in wireless capabilities.
If you are using a Macintosh computer see the instructions on page 23 for
Connecting a Macintosh OS X Computer with Built-in Wireless Capabilities
Some older Windows computers may have
built-in wireless networking
capabilities,
but not use the Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, or XP utility to configure wireless networking. If
this is so, set up your computer’s wireless connection using the instructions on page 24
for
Connecting a Computer with a wireless adapter to the Cable Modem/Router
.
