Setting up a Wi-Fi network connection

ARRIS recommends that you first verify that your computer (or laptop) can access the

Internet using a wired Ethernet connection before configuring your Wi-Fi home network.

For Internet connections in your home, you must have access to an Internet service before

you can set up a Wi-Fi network connection. If you do not have an Internet service already

set up in your home, contact a broadband service provider of your choice for assistance.

Before proceeding with the mobile app download, check that the G34/G36 and your

connected client device (e.g., laptop or personal computer) are connected to the Internet.
