Create your SURFboard mAX home
network
In this section,you will create your SURFboard mAX home Wi-Fi network.
1. Name your home network and choose a password. You will be able to connect and
manage all Wi-Fi enabled devices on this new home network.
Note: A shortcut - If you use the network name (SSID) and password from your
old router as the network name (SSID) and password for your SURFboard mAX
Router, any devices previously connected to the old network will automatically
connect to the new mAX home Wi-Fi network when the installation process is
complete. This only works if you remove or disable your old router.
Note: If you wish to have your wired devices connect to the new mAX network
(recommended), be sure to disconnect the wired devices from your old gateway
or router and reconnect them into the ethernet ports on the underside of your
mAX Router.
Tap Continue .
2. The mAX Router will create and connect to your new mAX home Wi-Fi network.
