Congure the Gateway
If your PC has not been connected to a broadband modem or other network device, you will need to
perform the PC conguration procedure below. Remember to restart each PC when nished. If your
PC has been connected to a broadband modem or other network device, continue to the “Using the
Wireless Connection” section below.
1. Start your Web browser. In the Address box, enter the following: http://speedstream.
2. Press Enter. The SpeedStream Simple Setup Wizard will launch.
3. When prompted, enter the Internet connection information provided by your
Internet Service Provider.
4. At the end of the Setup Wizard, you will be given the option to either connect to
the Internet or further congure the optional settings of the gateway.
5. If additional conguration is desired, select the icon for the service or option
you wish to congure: the gateway’s rewall and security settings, User
Proles and content ltering, or home network options.
For non-standard congurations or troubleshooting procedures, consult the User Guide on CD-ROM.
Using the Wireless Connection
By default, the SpeedStream
®
Gateway is congured to work
seamlessly with other SpeedStream
®
wireless products. The default
wireless interface settings are:
SSID: SpeedStream
Channel: 11
Mismatched wireless settings will prevent successful
wireless network connections between devices, so
you may need to recongure some wireless settings
to ensure that all settings match between wireless
devices if you are:
a) Using another manufacturer’s wireless products
b) Adding the SpeedStream
®
Gateway to an existing
wireless network
The Setup Wizard will walk you through setting up wireless settings.
Wireless Security
By default, wireless security is disabled for ease of
installation. However, it is recommended you enable
wireless security on all wireless devices during
installation.
You can specify WEP 64-bits, WEP 128-bits, or WPA PSK
encryption methods. The Setup Wizard will walk you
through setting up wireless security.
For more details on setting up wireless connections and security,
consult the User Guide on CD-ROM.
