Wireless Connectivity

WiFi On/Off button on the front of the modem router to turn the modem router wireless
radio back on.

enabled.)

network (WPA or WP
A2)?
• If you want to view the wireless settings for the modem router, use an Ethernet cable to

Note: Be sure to click the Apply button if you change settings.
If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these
conditions:

, or too close? Place your computer near
the modem router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see whether the signal
strength improves.
• Are objects between the modem router and your computer blocking the wireless signal?
