Bridging
Use this page if you have multiple wireless access
points and you want to configure a Wireless
Distribution System (WDS) for your home network
Configuring Your Password Settings
Use the Basic Settings – Password Settings page to set up a password to restrict
unauthorized persons from accessing to your wireless home gateway settings. Click
Password Settings
in the Basic Settings section of the Setup page to access the
Password Settings page.
Notes:
Your gateway modem comes from the factory with no password enabled. We
highly recommend that you set up a user password to prevent unauthorized
users from modifying the settings of your network.
If you do choose to set up a password, use a password that you can easily
remember. Do
not
forget your password.
