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 horizontal 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).
