ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Once the 424RG ONT is installed and operational, you may want to make custom modifications to your network setup. This guide
provides step-by-step instructions on how to complete the following tasks.
■Logging in to the 424RG
■Setting or Changing Your 424RG’s Wireless Service
■Setting or Changing Your 424RG’s Wireless Security Options
■How to Connect to 2.4 or 5.0GHz Wireless Service Using WPS
■Enabling Guest SSIDs
NOTE: Before you can customize your 424RG, you will need to log in to the 424RG
Web Graphical User Interface (GUI).
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before you begin, make certain of the following:
CAUTION: Never set the 424RG on its side while powered up. This may cause
overheating and damage the unit. Always use the stand that was provided during the
initial installation.
■The 424RG must be operational. It must be connected to your computer and the
power must be on.
■The 424RG must have access to the Internet.
■Data, Video, and Voice (optionally) must already be provisioned. The 424RG must
have been provisioned by the technician that installed the unit. This provisioning
enables you to receive data, voice, and video from the Internet, although voice is
optional and not required. These services are often referred to as “Triple Play”
service options by your service provider.

HOW TO CONNECT TO 2.4 OR 5.0GHZWIRELESS SERVICE USING WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard means for creating a secure connection between your gateway and various wireless devices.
Is is designed to simplify the connection process between theses devices.
Once WPS has been Enabled, you can use the WPS button to set either 2.4 or 5.0GHz wireless service. To enable these services,
perform one of the following:
2.4GHz Service
If you have devices that support WPS, press and hold the WPS button for 5 or more seconds to automatically configure wireless security
for your network.
5.0GHz Service
If you have devices that support WPS, press and hold the WPS button for 1 or more seconds to automatically configure wireless security
