Connecting a Computer with a Wireless adapter to the
Cable Modem/Router
1
Go to the computer that is set up with a wireless adapter that you want to add to the
network. For many wireless adapters, you will use their configuration manager
software and click a
Scan
button or select a
Site Scan
,
Scan Networks
, or other
similarly named tab to do a site search. When the list of available wireless networks
appears, click on
Zoomxxxx_5G
to connect to your Cable Modem/Router’s 5 GHz
network. If you do not see
Zoomxxxx_5G
than most likely your wireless adapter
does not support the 5 GHz network, so go ahead and click on
Zoomxxxx.
In both
cases, xxxx are the last 4 characters of the cable modem CM MAC address. You can
find
Zoomxxxx
printed on the bottom label of your Cable Modem/Router. In the
unlikely event that you changed the SSID from the default, select your new SSID.
If you need help, refer to the documentation that came with your wireless adapter.
Note for
Windows
8.1, 8,
7,
Vista
and
XP
users:
If you installed a wireless adapter
on a Windows
8,
7,
Vista or
XP computer, Windows may try to automatically configure
the adapter (rather than let you use the software provided with the wireless adapter).
You will know this is happening because you will be prompted with a message about
one or more wireless networks being available. You will also be able to click a link to
open the
Wireless Network Connection Properties
dialog box. If this happens,
click the link, clear the
Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings
check box, and then click
OK
. You can then use the software provided with your
wireless adapter without interruption from Windows.
2
When prompted for the wireless password, enter your Security Key/Password and
hit
Connect
. Your Security Key/Password can be found on the bottom label of your
Cable Modem/Router.
3
Test your wireless connection. Open your device’s Web browser (for instance,
Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome) and try to connect to a familiar Web address. If
you are unable to connect, make sure you followed the instructions. If you did, please
see
Appendix A: Troubleshooting Tips
.
Your device is now connected to your wireless network. If you want to connect additional
computers or devices, follow the instructions for your device by starting at the first page
of this chapter.
To disconnect from the current network:
1
On your computer that has a wireless adapter, find the wireless network connection
option (similar to the process of adding your computer to the network).
2
Click or highlight the Cable Modem/Router’s SSID.
