the modem router’s model number, which is C7000v2,

The serial number and MAC address are on the

modem router label.

modem router, ask your cable Internet provider to look

for your modem router online, and do one of the following

depending on what your cable Internet provider tells you

about your modem router:

• If the modem router is not visible, your cable Internet provider

can give you instructions to verify why the modem router

does not connect with your high-speed Internet service.

• If the modem router is visible to your cable Internet

provider, reboot the modem router. Check your online status

again.

WiFi Network Name and Password

The preassigned WiFi network name (SSID) and password (network

key) are unique to your modem router, like a serial number. Because

the modem router automatically uses WiFi security, you don’t need

to set it up. The WiFi settings are on the modem router label.

We recommend that you use the preassigned WiFi settings because

you can check the label if you forget them. You can log in to the

modem router to change these settings.

You can write the WiFi settings from your modem router label in

this space for easy reference.

WiFi network name (SSID):

Network key (password):

If you change the WiFi settings, write the new settings here for

easy reference and store this booklet in a safe place.

network and type its password. For help with the WPS button on

your WPS-enabled device, check the instructions or online help that

came with that computer or device. Some older equipment cannot

use WPS.

Join the WiFi Network Using WPS

For help with the WPS button on your WPS-enabled device, check

the instructions or online help that came with that device. Some

older equipment cannot use WPS.

¾To join the network using WPS:

ﬁve seconds.

The WPS LED on the modem router blinks green.

2. Within two minutes, on your WPS-enabled device, press its

The WPS LED on the modem router lights solid green when the

WPS-enabled device connects to your modem router.
