Connecting to a Wireless Network
Locating your Wi-Fi network name and password
The first step to connecting devices to your wireless network is to identify the network name and network password.
If you haven’t changed the default Wi-Fi credentials* the Wi-Fi network name and password will be printed on a sticker on the bottom of the modem.
For the Ubee1329 modem the default network name will be labeled as “SSID" and the default password will be labeled as "Wi-Fi Pre-shared Key" on the sticker
For the Arris modem the default network name will be labeled as "Network Name (SSID)" and the default password will be labeled as "Preshared Key" on the sticker
*If you have changed the default network name/password and need to verify or change your Wi-fi network name/password, follow these steps:
To access the router settings for Ubee the customer will need to enter 192.168.100.1 into their web address bar. Arris uses the 192.168.0.1 address for accessing it’s router settings.
- Note: This must be done from a device that is currently connected to the network, either via wi-fi or an ethernet cable.
Before proceeding, please note that any changes you make to the router settings may need to be reset to factory defaults for remote troubleshooting purposes with the TDS repair team.
