Configuring Other Wireless Ethernet Adapters

The following steps are completed using the configuration program provided with your

wireless adapter. If you have not already done so, install the wireless adapter

configuration software before continuing.

1. Set the network type to Infrastructure. Refer to your wireless adapter

documentation for instructions on editing the adapter's network profile. Your

wireless adapter should be configured to operate with an access point or

residential gateway. This mode of operation is typically enabled by setting network

type to Infrastructure.

2. Set the wireless network name. The wireless network name of your HomePortal is

2WIRE in all capital letters, followed by the last three digit of the HomePortal serial

number located on the bottom of your HomePortal. For example, if the last three

digits of your HomePortal serial number are 102, your HomePortal network name

would be 2WIRE102.

The wireless network name is sometimes referred to as the Network Name, SSID,

ESS ID, or Wireless LAN ID.

3. Enable wireless security. Your HomePortal is pre-configured to take advantage of

wireless security. Referring to the instructions provided with your wireless adapter,

enable wireless security.

Wireless security is sometimes referred to as WEP (wired equivalent privacy), 64-

bit encryption, or 40-bit encryption.

4. Enter the encryption key. Once you have enabled security on your wireless

adapter, you need to enter the unique security key for your HomePortal. To do this,

set the network encryption type to hexadecimal, and enter your 10-digit wireless

encryption key found on the bottom of your HomePortal.

5. In general, accept your adapter's defaults. The default value for the remainder of

configurable settings for your network adapter should allow your wireless adapter

to communicate with the HomePortal. Although the HomePortal is set by default to

communicate using channel 6, it is not required to change your adapter to this

setting as most adapters will automatically detect the appropriate channel.
