Gateway User Interface
22
By default, the 2Wire gateway ships with WPA enabled and a preconfigured network name. The default WPA
key is located on the bottom of the gateway, next to the serial number.
The Current Settings panel shows the 2Wire gateway’s wireless access point settings:
• Access Point. The designated name of the wireless access point.
• Network Name. The name assigned to your wireless network. The default is 2WIREXXX, where XXX
represents the last three digits of your 2Wire gateway serial number (for example, 2WIRE954).
• Channel. The radio frequency band the access point uses for your wireless network (the default is 6).
Wireless adapter cards auto-detect which channels to use. If you are having problems with your
wireless network, it could be due to radio interference. You can change the wireless channel to see if
interference is reduced on a different channel.
• Authentication. The security method used to ensure that users are authorized to access the wireless
network: WEP - Open, WEP - Shared, or WPA-PSK.
• Encryption.
The security setting that makes it difficult for unauthorized users to access your
network.
