WiFi setup if you want to keep your

current network name and password

If your Motorola modem/router is replacing a modem/router

or router with WiFi capability, we strongly recommend that

you keep using the original WiFi network name (SSID) and

password that you were using on the modem/router or router

that you're replacing. This will allow all your WiFi devices to

keep working without a new WiFi setup. If possible, do this

configuration by connecting a computer with Ethernet to any

of your Motorola modem/router's Ethernet ports. You can also

do this configuration by using your smartphone or another

WiFi device that has a Web browser.

If you need to do this configuration by using your

smartphone or other WiFi device, first complete a WiFi

setup for your new modem/router, using the wireless

network name (SSID) and password printed on the

modem/router's bottom label. See the Quick Start Guide

for more details. (You don't need an Internet connection

to do this.)

First write down the wireless network name and

password for your original network. Most WiFi devices

work on either the 2.4 GHz band, or both the 2.4 GHz and

the 5 GHz band. You may a wireless network name and

password for just the 2.4 GHz band; or you may have a

wireless network name and password for both the 2.4

GHz and 5 GHz bands.

Now open the browser of the computer or WiFi device

that you're using to configure the Motorola

modem/router. Type http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar

and then press the Enter key. You will see a login screen
