How to Connect to Wi-Fi on your New Modem
Find your network name (also known as an SSID) and Wi-Fi Security Key on the bottom of your new modem.
Once your modem has been plugged in, the SSID will appear on your computer or smartphone under the list of available Wi-Fi networks.
Select your SSID from the list and enter the Wi-Fi Security Key in the password field to connect.
There are two SSIDs, which do I choose?
Your new modem has two Wi-Fi networks – a 2.4G network and a 5G network. You may connect to either one. Both use the same Wi-Fi Security Key.
How to Change your Wi-Fi Name & Password
Open your web browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc) on a computer or smartphone that is connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
Type http://192.168.0.1 into the browser’s address bar and press enter.
