Configuring Wireless Adapters
2Wire Wireless Adapters
Note: The 2Wire 1070 and 1070-B gateways do not include wireless support. If you are using a
2Wire 1070 or 1070-B gateway, skip this section.
If you use a 2Wire wireless adapter (PCI, PC card, or USB adapter) for wireless networking, the gateway
installation software automatically configures it to communicate with the gateway during setup.
Non-2Wire Wireless Adapters
If you are NOT using a 2Wire wireless adapter, you will need to manually configure your adapter of choice to
communicate with the gateway using the information below.
Locating the Serial Number and Wireless
Encryption Key
Your gateway is configured with unique security
parameters that must be configured into your
wireless adapter: the serial number and a default
64-bit WEP wireless encryption key. You will find
these two important pieces of information on the
bottom of your gateway.
Adapter Configuration
After you have located the serial number and
wireless encryption key, configure your wireless
adapter according to instructions provided with that
product.
1. Set the network type to Infrastructure. Refer to your wireless adapter documentation for instructions on
editing the adapter’s network profile. Your wireless adapter should be configured to operate with an
access point or residential gateway. This mode of operation is typically enabled by setting network type
to Infrastructure.
2. Set the wireless network name. The wireless network name of your gateway is 2WIRE in all capital
letters, followed by the last three digits of the gateway serial number located on the bottom of your
gateway. For example, if the last three digits of your gateway serial number are 102, your gateway
network name would be 2WIRE102.
The wireless network name is sometimes referred to as the Network Name, SSID, ESS ID, or Wireless
LAN ID.
3. Enable wireless security. Your gateway is pre-configured to take advantage of wireless security.
Referring to the instructions provided with your wireless adapter, enable wireless security.
The default wireless security used by the gateway is sometimes referred to as WEP (wired equivalent
privacy), 64-bit encryption, or 40-bit encryption.

Gateway Installation and Support Guide

4. Enter the encryption key. Once you have enabled security on your wireless adapter, you need to enter
the unique security key for your gateway. To do this, set the network encryption type to hexadecimal,
and enter your 10-digit wireless encryption key found on the bottom of your gateway.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO MAC OS X USERS: You must enter the “$” character at the beginning of the 10-
digit wireless encryption key. For example, if the wireless encryption key is 1234567890, enter
“$1234567890”. Doing so indicates to the OS that the key is in hexadecimal format.
5. In general, accept your adapter’s defaults. The default value for the remainder of configurable settings
for your network adapter should allow your wireless adapter to communicate with the gateway. Although
the gateway is set by default to communicate using channel 6, it is not required to change your adapter
to this setting as most adapters will automatically detect the appropriate channel.
