4.2Connecting Your Wireless Client without WPS

Before you start

Before you can connect a computer to your wireless network you need to know which Network Name (SSID) and encryption your Thomson Gateway is using.

Where can I find the SSID?

If you did not change the SSID manually, your Thomson Gateway uses the SSID that is printed on the bottom panel label of your Thomson Gateway.

Where can I find the encryption?

You have not yet configured your Thomson Gateway

In this case, no encryption is used.

You have already configured your Thomson Gateway using the Guided Installation

If you choose to use the wireless settings proposed by the Setup wizard, you can find the encryption key/ passphrase on the label on the bottom of your Thomson Gateway.

Forgot your wireless settings?

If you have changed the wireless settings manually and you can’t remember your settings, try one of the following:

If one of your computers is already connected to your network:

1Browse to the Thomson Gateway Web Interface on a computer that is already connected to your network.

2On the Home Network menu, click Wireless.

3In the upper-right corner, click Details.

4The wireless Access Point page appears. Under:

Configuration, you can find the network name (SSID).

Security, you can find the encryption.

If none of your computers is connected to your network, connect a computer using a wired connection and follow the procedure above to find out what your wireless settings are.

Another option is to reset your Thomson Gateway and reconfigure it all over again. For more information, see “8.4 Reset to Factory Defaults” on page 77.

Procedure

Configure your computer with the same wireless settings as your Thomson Gateway. For more information, consult the help of your wireless client.
