1. Look for the label on the bottom of your gateway (example shown here). You may see both 2.4GHz and 5GHz “SSIDs”, as well as a “Pre-Shared Key” or password. Alternatively on some device labels the network name and password will be listed as the “Default WiFi Network” and the “Default Key”.
2. On the smartphone or laptop you wish to connect to WiFi, open “WiFi Settings”
3. Locate the 2.4GHz network name or the default WiFi network in your available WiFi networks list, and select it. Then input the “Pre-Shared Key” or default key password from your label. Your device is now connected to your home WiFi network!
4. If you are not installing or reconnecting WiFi Your Way™ Home, you can connect all of your WiFi devices to your new home network by opening up the WiFi settings on each device, selecting the WiFi network name, and entering your WiFi password. Refer to Step 3 if you are using the default network name and password.

Note: To rename your new WiFi networks, please visit https://192.168.0.1 from your browser when connected to your WiFi network and follow the on-screen instructions.
