How Do I Configure My DOCSIS Residential Gateway?
Setup Parental Control - Time of Day Access Filter Page
The following illustration is an example of the Setup Parental Control - Time of Day
Access Filter page.

The residential gateway uses the network time of day clock that is managed by
your data service provider. The time of day clock must be accurate and represent the
time of day in your time zone for this feature to operate properly. Verify that the
Status and Set Time pages reflect the correct time of day. If they do not reflect the
correct time of day, contact your data service provider. You can also adjust your
settings to account for the difference.

Important:
Your residential gateway ships from the factory with WPA security
enabled to provide you with a
basic
level of wireless network security. To gain initial
access to your wireless network, select WPA security on your computer's wireless
adapter and enter the WPA key to match the key setup in your gateway. The factory
default WPA key in the gateway is the serial number of the device. You can continue
to use this factory default key. However, to maximize your wireless security, it is
highly recommended that you use something other than the factory default key.
Using WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)
WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to easily attach wireless devices that also
support WPS. When WPS is enabled and activated, you can attach other wireless
clients with the press of a button or by entering the station PIN.
