• WEP (64/128) (poor security): Wired Equivalent Privacy

Pre-Shared Key (most compatible)

Key

13. Enter a string of either ASCII characters or hexadecimal numbers (0 through 9, A thru F) in

the Pre-Shared Key field to create your WPA Pre-Shared key.

The Pre-Shared key is used to generate a unique password for WPS-enabled devices to

connect to your Wi-Fi network.

14. Click Apply, when you are finished.

Change Your Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID)

The SSID (Service Set Identification) is the Wi-Fi network name assigned to your Wi-Fi cable

modem Wi-Fi network. The default SSID (listed on the Wi-Fi cable modem label) is

automatically populated in the network configuration screens. A list of available Wi-Fi

networks (SSIDs) in close proximity of your home (for example, neighbors or local businesses)

will display when you or someone else in your home attempt to establish a Wi-Fi network

connection. For security purposes and quick recognition of your Wi-Fi network, ARRIS

recommends that you change the default SSID.

Note: When you change the SSID, any Wi-Fi devices that are already connected to your

Wi-Fi network will be disconnected from the network. The Wi-Fi devices will have to be

reconnected to the Wi-Fi network using the new SSID.

Do the following to change your Wi-Fi network name (SSID):

1. Open a web browser and log onto your Wi-Fi cable modem to open the Wi-Fi cable

modem Web Manager.

See Start the Wi-Fi Cable Modem Web Manager (page 30) for more information, if

necessary.

2. Click the Wireless 2.4 GHz or Wireless 5 GHz main menu button on the Wi-Fi cable

modem Web Manager menu bar.

Choose the Wi-Fi frequency range that you want to set up for your Wi-Fi network.

3. Click BASIC from the Wireless submenu option you are setting up.
