Field Description

 

Wireless Network Name (SSID)

 

The SSID is the name of your wireless network. The SSID is used by wireless

 

technology to identify your network from other wireless networks in the area.

 

The SSID can be up to 32 characters long. The factory default SSID is typically

 

the last 6 characters of the CM MAC address found on the rating label located

 

on the bottom of your gateway.

 

This SSID is a unique identity and does not need to be changed unless you

 

choose to do so. Your service provider may provide you with wireless setup

 

information that may call for a different SSID.

 

BSSID

 

Displays the Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) of your wireless network. The

 

BSSID is typically the MAC Address of the wireless access point.

 

Note: This may not be the same MAC Address as the CM MAC Address used

 

to determine the factory default SSID.

 

Broadcast SSID

 

When this box is checked (factory default), the gateway transmits or advertises

 

its presence to other wireless devices. Client devices can automatically detect

 

the access point when this beacon is enabled.

 

Uncheck this box if you want to hide your network from wireless clients. If you

 

hide your network, you will need to configure each of your wireless client

 

devices manually.

 

Important: The Enable check box is not currently in use and does not impact

 

operation of the gateway.

 

 

Wireless > Wireless Security

Selecting a wireless security mode helps protect your network. If you select Disable, then your wireless network is not secure and any wireless device within range may connect to it.

To keep intruders out of your wireless network, use the Wireless Security page to configure your security parameters including the security mode (the level of encryption), encryption keys, and other security settings.

Select the Wireless Security tab to open the Wireless Security page. The following table shows examples of the Wireless Security page with various wireless security modes selected.
