Non-2Wire Wireless Adapter Configuration

Locating the Serial Number and Wireless

Encryption Key

The serial number of your 2Wire gateway is used

as the network name (SSID). Beneath the serial

number is a ten-digit number which is used as

the encryption key. These are located on the

bottom of your gateway (shown in vertical

orientation). You will need this information to

configure your wireless adapter.

Configuring the Adapter

1.

Install and configure your wireless adapter

according to the manufacturer’s

instructions.

2.

Use the network adapter configuration

software or Windows network connection

wizard to set the network name (SSID) and

encryption key (WEP).

a.

The network name is the word “2WIRE”

(in all capital letters), followed by the

last three digits of the gateway serial

number (for example, 2WIRE110).

b.

The encryption key is a 64-bit hex value,

located beneath the bar code on the

bottom of the 2Wire gateway. In the example, it is 4119627022.

c.

For Mac OS X users, you may need to enter the “$” character at the beginning of the encryption key

(for example, $4119627022).
