The default SSID (wireless network name) is assigned as
Zoomxxxx
(where
xxxx are the last 4 hexadecimal characters of the cable modem CM MAC
address). This SSID is printed on the bottom label of your cable modem/router.
The SSID printed on your bottom label is the for the 2.4 GHz network. The SSID
for the 5 GHz network is
Zoomxxxx_5G
.
Your Cable Modem/Router is capable of sending and receiving wireless data on both the
2.4GHz frequency band and the 5 GHz frequency band at the same time. Almost all
computers, smartphones, tablets, and other client devices support the 2.4 GHz band,
and some also support the 5 GHz band. A major advantage of the 5 GHz band is that it’s
normally much less crowded with other devices trying to use that band. This is especially
important in areas with lots of wireless devices, such as some cities. To select Model
5363’s 5 GHz network for a client device, pick the network ending in
5G
. You may want
to try both SSIDs to see which one gives you better speed and range.
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, 8.1 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 March 2013.) 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 17 for
Connecting a
Wireless-enabled Device to the 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 18),
Windows 7
