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).
