D. Wireless Network Setup

Computers using the wireless connection require a compatible wireless adapter

installed. The adapter type depends on whether the computer has a USB port,

PCI slot, or credit-card-sized PCMCIA slot.
To provide an initial wireless connection to your network and the Internet:
1

Connect the SBG1000 to the cable TV system as described in Section A.

2

On each wireless client computer, install the wireless adapter hardware and

driver software according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3

On each wireless client computer, set up a wireless adapter profile to

“connect” the client to the SBG1000. The procedure depends on your

wireless adapter and computer operating system.

In your initial profile, use the SBG1000 default wireless Network Name
(ESSID) motorola (case-sensitive).

Your computers are connected but not secure.

The default SBG1000 settings provide no wireless security.

After

your wireless LAN is operational, be sure to enable security as

described in “Setting Up the Wireless LAN” in the SBG1000
User Guide
