Non-2Wire Wireless Adapter Configuration

Locating the Serial Number and Wireless

Encryption Key

A portion of the serial number of your 3700HGV-B is used as the network name (SSID). Beneath the serial number is a ten- digit number which is used as the encryption key. These are located on the bottom of your 3700HGV-B (shown in vertical orientation). You will need this information to configure your wireless adapter.

Configuring the Adapter

1.Install and configure your wireless adapter according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

2.Use the network adapter configuration software or Windows network connection wizard to set the network name (SSID) and encryption key (WPA).

a.The network name is the word “2WIRE” (in all capital letters), followed by the last three digits of the gateway serial number (for example, 2WIRE110).

b. The encryption key is a 64-bit hex value, located beneath the bar code on the bottom of the 2Wire gateway. In the example, it is 4119627022.

c. For Mac OS X users, you may need to enter the “$” character at the beginning of the encryption key (for example, $4119627022).

Note: The above instructions are for users configuring their adapter with WPA. If the user’s wireless adapter doesn't support WPA they should use WEP; however, this decreases the level of security provided for wireless traffic.
