2.1
Setting Up and Connecting the DDW366
Use the following instructions to set up and connect the DDW366. When the device is set
up and connected, refer to
Accessing the Web User Interface Locally on page 16
to
configure the device.
Important
: Subscribers must contact their service provider (Cox Communications) to
enable Internet access and wireless networking.
Typically, the service provider initially configures and connects the device. The installation
steps are provided below if you wish to confirm the setup, or add devices to your network.

.
Steps
To set up the device:
3.
Remove the contents from the device packaging.
4. Place the DDW366 in a central location, convenient for connecting to other devices,
such as PCs or gaming consoles. Do not situate the wireless gateway on the floor.
Ensure the DDW366 is installed upright in a standing position (as indicated on the
label on the back panel of the device). Positioning your gateway horizontally or on
its side affects the wireless performance dramatically, as the internal antennas
won’t be able to propagate the wireless signal as designed. If not wall-mounting
the device, ensure the base stand at the bottom of the device is rotated to facilitate
balance.
Place the DDW366 and wireless clients in open areas far away from metal objects,
transformers, heavy-duty motors, microwave ovens, refrigerators, fluorescent
lights, and other manufacturing equipment. These items can impact wireless
signals. A wireless signal can become weaker after it has passed through metal,
concrete, brick, walls, or floors.
Place the device in a location that has an operating temperature of 0

2.2.2
Connecting a Wireless Device
Use the following steps to connect a wireless device to the cable modem (for example, a
laptop computer).
Default values are shown in the steps below.
Steps
To connect a wireless device to the DDW366:
1.
Access the wireless networking feature on your wireless device.
Windows Users: Double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon in the system
tray (lower-right side of the Windows desktop). Click

.
Mac Users: Click on the wireless icon (Airport) on the right side of the top menu
bar. All available wireless networks will appear in the drop-down menu.
2. The DDW366 is shipped with a default SSID. The SSID is the name of the wireless
network broadcast from the device so that wireless clients can connect to it.
Double-click your
SSID
in the wireless networks window. The default SSID is
“DDW366” plus a period, plus the last 6 characters of the Wi-Fi MAC address plus
“-2.4G.” In the 5GHz band, the SSID is the same as the 2.4GHz except add 1 hex
to the WiFi MAC address and change the end to “-5G.”
Examples:
1.
2.4G radio with Wi-Fi MAC address F4:B7:E2:E5:C3:D2
SSID: DDW366.E5C3D2-2.4G
2. 5G radio with Wi-Fi MAC address F4:B7:E2:E5:C3:D2
SSID: DDW366.E5C3D3-5G
Notes:
If the subscriber changes the SSID, the device does not revert to this
default SSID when the device is reset, except when a factory reset is performed
through the Web UI. The Wi-Fi MAC address can be found at the top of the
Wireless Primary Network screen. Refer to
Using the Primary Network Option on
page 70
.

2.3
Troubleshooting the Installation
Use the following tips to troubleshoot the installation.
None of the LEDs are on when I power on the DDW366.
Check the connection between the power outlet and the power cord. Verify the
power outlet is energized and the power cord is connected to the power outlet.
Check the connection between the power cord and the cable modem. Power off
the cable modem and wait for 5 seconds and power on the modem again. If the
problem still exists, there may be a hardware problem.
The ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, or ETH4 LEDs on the back of the modem are not lit
where Ethernet cables are connected.
Restart the computer so that it can re-establish a connection with the cable
modem.
Check for a resource conflict (Windows users only):
1.
Right-click
My Computer
on your desktop and choose
Properties
.
2.
Choose the
Device Manager
tab and look for a yellow exclamation point or red
X
over the
network interface card (NIC) in the Network Adapters field. If you see either one, you may
have an interrupt request (IRQ) conflict. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation or ask
your service provider for further assistance.
Verify that TCP/IP is the default protocol for your network interface card.
Power cycle the cable modem by removing the power cord from the electrical
outlet and plugging it back in. Wait for the cable modem to re-establish
communications with your cable service provider.
Check General Connectivity Issues:
If your PC is connected to a hub or gateway, connect the PC directly into an
Ethernet port on the cable modem.
