What information do I need to add a wireless PC to my Comcast Home Network?
With the Wireless Setup feature you can add devices to your network and change your wireless security settings. To add a device, such as a PC, laptop or gaming device to your home network, you will need the following information:
Wireless Network Name (SSID): This is the unique name you have chosen for your wireless network. In order for other wireless devices to connect to your wireless network, the Wireless Network Name needs to be same on all wireless devices that connect to your Gateway.
Transmit Channel: The Transmit Channel field allows you to select the Channel (frequency) for your wireless network. Select a channel between 1 and 11 from the drop-down box. All computers in the wireless network must use the same channel in order to connect to the Gateway.
WEP Passphrase: The WEP Passphrase feature is used to automatically generate a WEP Key, which will be used to secure your wireless network. Choose a unique passphrase, enter it in the WEP Passphrase field, and press the Generate button. This word or phrase will generate a 10 or 26 digit WEP Key, depending on the WEP Encryption Strength. The same passphrase must then be entered in each of the wireless computers to generate the exact same key. This will allow wireless communication to the Gateway.
