5. Click Set up a new connection anyway and then click Wireless.
6. Scroll down and select the MOTOROLA wireless network name (see SSID-2.4 listed on the
SBG6782-AC gateway label located on the bottom of the gateway).
Notes:
ο SSID-2.4 lists the default network name assigned to your wireless network. 2.4 refers to
the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequency range used by most wireless devices. The 5 GHz frequency
provides better performance, if your device is capable of performing at that frequency
level. However, the 2.4 GHz is more widely used and is compatible with a higher number
of wireless devices.
ο We recommend that you use the default SSID name assigned to your gateway (located
on the gateway label). You have the option to change the network name to one that may
be easier for you to remember.
7. Enter Network security key code in the Security key field (see WPA-PSK code listed on the
SBG6782-AC gateway label) and then click OK to complete the wireless network connection.
