If you have changed the defaults on your Linksys Wireless Adapters, or are using other wireless adapters, you must temporarily change your wireless adapter settings to: (SSID = linksys) in order to initially access the Gateway wirelessly. After you have accessed the Gateway with the default settings, you can change the Gateway settings to coin- cide with your Network settings and reset your adapters.
