Connecting a Smartphone, Tablet or Other Wireless
Device via Wireless
You will need to enter one or both of your wireless network names (SSIDs)
and passwords into each client device that you want to connect to your
network. Typically, you should enter SSIDs and Passwords for both the 2.4
and 5 GHz bands into client devices that support both bands. If you haven’t
changed the factory settings, you can find these on a label on the bottom of
your modem’s stand. If you have changed the network names and/or
passwords, use your new values. (See Chapter 8 if you want to change your
wireless settings).
If you want to connect devices to a Guest Network, use the Network Name
and Password for that network. (See Chapter 8 if you want to set up a Guest
Network).
Wireless devices vary, but they all have a Wireless Settings area. There you
should first select the wireless network you want, namely the wireless
network name or Guest network name of the MG7550. Now enter the
password for your wireless network. Make sure to turn wireless ON on your
client devices. Normally that’s all you need to do.

Setting up an HDTV, Streaming Media Device, or
Other Device
A typical HDTV, for instance, has an Input or Setup section. Within that
section there’s normally a Network section. In that section you may need to
specify that you have an Ethernet connection if that’s how you connect to
the MG7550. If you want to connect wirelessly to the MG7550, you’ll need to
select its wireless network name and then enter its wireless password.

Accessing the Configuration Manager by Using a
Browser
Model MG7550 has a Configuration Manager that provides a lot of technical
information about Model MG7550 and that tells you how to do some useful
things. Please note that some users will never need to use the Configuration
Manager.
You can access the Configuration Manager from a computer or any other
device that has a browser and that is connected via Ethernet or wirelessly to
your cable modem. If you will be changing wireless settings, it’s much better
to use a device that connects via Ethernet while you make these changes.
To access the Configuration Manager, do the following:
1)
Open your browser.
2)
Type
192.168.0.1
into your browser’s address bar and press Enter.
