Click
Wireless
on the top menu.
4
The Wireless Radio page appears. Under Select 2.4 or 5 GHz option. Select 2.4 GHz
if your existing wireless network used 802.11n. If your existing network used 802.11ac
or you just want to change the SSID for the 802.11ac network select 5 GHz. Click
Apply.
5
Then click
Primary Network
on the left-side menu and in the text box labeled
Network Name (SSID)
, type an SSID of your choice. The SSID needs to be at least
one character long, and it’s probably best to pick a name that you’ll recognize as
yours.
6
To change the wireless security, start by setting all the following drop-down menus to
Disable: WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK.
7
Then select Enable for the mode(s) you choose for setting wireless security.
Note:
To use WPA2 /WPA,
all
of the wireless devices on your network must support
either encryption method. In this case, enable:
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK (if you want to use a Pre-Shared Key)
or
WPA and WPA2 (use this only if your network uses a Radius Server.
This is very uncommon for a home network)
If you know that all your devices support the more secure WPA2 you can enable
WPA2 only (or WPA2-PSK if you want to use a Pre-Shared Key) instead of WPA and
WPA2.
8
In the
WPA Pre-Shared Key
text box (only if you selected an option requiring a
Pre-Shared Key), enter a passphrase of your choice (a minimum of 8 characters).
Write down this passphrase and put it where you can find it – on the bottom of the
Cable Modem/Router case, for instance.
9
Click
Apply
.
10
Now you may need to set up each of your wireless devices with the SSID and
passphrase.
If your devices were already setup with this SSID and passphrase then
your setup should be complete, otherwise, see
Chapter 3, Connecting other Devices
to the Cable Modem/Router
for help on connecting your wireless computers and
devices.
Your security setup configuration is now complete!

Setting Up Security Using WEP
If
any
of your network devices DOES NOT support WPA or WPA2, you can use WEP to
configure network security. WEP can be configured two ways: 64-bit and 128-bit. 128-bit
WEP provides more security than 64-bit.
1
Open the Zoom Configuration Manager by typing the following in your Web browser's
address bar:
2
In the
Login
dialog box, type the following User Name and Password in lower case,
then click
Login
.
User Name:
admin
Password:

3
Click
Wireless
on the top menu.
4
The Wireless Radio page appears. Under Select 2.4 or 5 GHz option. Select 2.4 GHz
and click Apply.
5
Then click
Primary Network
on the left-side menu.
6
To change the wireless security, start by setting the following drop-down menus to
Disable: WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and WPA2-PSK
7
From the
WEP Encryption
drop-down menu, select
WEP-64 bit
(
or WEP-128
bit for
more security).
8
For
Network Key 1
, you can either enter your own WEP Key or you can have WEP
Keys generated.
If you are entering a network key of your choice, enter 13 ASCII characters or 26
hexadecimal digits for 128-bit encryption keys. Enter 5 ASCII characters or 10
hexadecimal digits for 64-bit encryption keys.
Otherwise, type something into the text box and click on
Generate WEP Keys
and
WEP Keys will automatically be generated for you.
Caution!
Do not click
Apply
until you have entered WEP Keys.
9
Click
Apply
.
10
Now you need to set up each of your wireless devices with the SSID and
passphrase. See
Chapter 3, Connecting other Devices to the Cable Modem/Router
for help on connecting your wireless computers and devices.
Your security setup configuration is now complete!

Online Gaming
Read this chapter if you are going to use your Cable Modem/Router for online gaming.
Some online games require you to make changes to your firewall. This chapter explains
the different ways you can modify the firewall to allow your online gaming system access.
Gaming
If you are using your router for gaming, you may need to make changes to the router’s
firewall setting for the game to work. This is done by setting up a
DMZ
or using
Port
Triggering
so that the Cable Modem/Router’s firewall won’t block the other players
from your system during your gaming. The main difference between the methods is the
amount of access someone has to your system.
A DMZ allows access on all ports of the computer. Because of this, DMZ's are less
secure and should be used with caution with your computer. However DMZ’s work well
with gaming stations since security is not as much of an issue for gaming stations as it is
for computers.
Port triggering works by sensing when data is sent out on a predetermined outgoing port
and then automatically opening up the corresponding incoming port(s). It will
automatically forward the traffic on the incoming port to the computer that accessed the
outgoing port. If your game uses one port to send outgoing data and a different port (or
ports) for incoming data, you may want to use port triggering. You do not need to know
the IP address of your gaming station to set up port triggering. You will need to know
which ports your game requires you to open. This information is usually available with
your gaming software or you should be able to find it by searching for it on the web.
If you want to set up a DMZ for your gaming system, go to
DMZ Host
.
If you want to set up Port Triggering for your gaming system, go to
Port
Triggering
.

DMZ Host
The DMZ (De-militarized Zone) Host page allows you to configure a network device (e.g.
a PC or gaming system) to be visible directly to the Internet. This may be used if a game
doesn’t work with port triggers or if you are using a gaming system, where security is less
of a concern.
To set up a DMZ for your gaming system, you should first assign your gaming system a
static IP address. Normally the Cable Modem/Router handles assigning IP addresses to
the different devices on your network using DHCP. However DHCP does not guarantee
that your device will always get assigned the same IP address. The DMZ needs to know
the IP address of your gaming system to work, if the IP address changes the DMZ will not
work. Because your IP address could change over time you need to assign a static IP on
your gaming system. To setup a static IP address on your gaming system, please refer to
your gaming system’s documentation. If you no longer have the documentation that
came with your gaming system it usually can be found online.
When assigning a static IP address to your gaming system you should select an address
that is outside the IP addresses assigned by the Cable Modem/Router’s DHCP server.
By default the DHCP Server assigns addresses from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.255.
We recommend using 192.168.0.5 as the static IP address for your gaming system.
To setup a
DMZ
for your gaming system:
1
Follow the instructions for your gaming system to assign a static IP address. We
recommend using 192.168.0.5.
2
Next access the Cable Modem/Routers configuration menu by launching a Web
browser on a computer that is directly connected to one of the router’s LAN ports.
3
In the browser address bar, type
and press the
Enter
key.
4
In the Login screen, enter:
default username:
admin
default password:
admin
Both the username and password are case sensitive. The default username and
password are printed on the bottom label of your unit.
5
Click the Login button to access the Cable Modem/Router. The
Status
page
appears.
6
Click
Router
menu tab.
