To access your WiFi network, you need to make sure this function is enabled on your router/modem. If the wireless light on your modem is off, then you need to turn on the setting on your modem using the modem interface.
Depending on the device, you may also need to enable WiFi on your computer.
Note: Your modem settings may appear slightly different from the images below, but the steps will be the same.
1. Connect a device, such as a computer or tablet, to the internet using an Ethernet cable connected to your modem.
2. Open a web browser and type http://192.168.0.1 into the web address field.
3. Sign in to the modem's settings interface (Modem GUI) using your Admin Username and Admin Password. Note that these are different from your wireless network name (SSID) and WiFi password (security key).
4. Select the Wireless Setup icon in the main menu.
5. Select Enable for the wireless radio.
6. Select Apply to save your changes.
7. Next, select SSID Setup in the left side menu.

9. Select Broadcast SSID.
10. Select Apply to save your changes.
