Configuring Wireless Network
When the i38HG is properly installed, the wireless network is functional. Your i38HG is preconfigured with 
settings that optimize wireless performance. It is recommended that you leave the default settings in place.
If you are knowledgeable with the wireless technology and want to modify the settings, this section provides 
instructions to perform the following advanced configurations: 
 Select the wireless access point on page 24
 Set up your wireless network name on page 25
 Secure your wireless network on page 26
 Customize personal wireless settings on page 34
 Configuring Wi-Fi Protection Setup on page 35

Selecting the Wireless Access Point 
You can have up to eight access points (APs) in your home and each access point is automatically 
synchronized. When multiple APs are detected, they are automatically displayed on the Wireless Access 
Point List and Unique Settings page. Settings are synchronized across the managed APs to create a single 
wireless network for easier device connectivity. 
To select the access point:
1.Open a Web browser and enter http://gateway.2Wire.net to access the 2Wire i3812V user interface. 
2.Click   on the Home page; the Wireless Access Point List and Unique Settings page opens (Figure 9).

4.Select the channel (radio frequency band) the access point uses for your wireless network. 
5.Select the power level for your wireless connection from the Power drop-down list. The default is 
400 mW. 
6.Click Save. 
Setting up the Wireless Network Name
If you are in a densely populated area, or if you regularly connect to more than one wireless network (such 
as one at work and one at home), it is good practice to give your wireless network a unique name, which 
makes it easy to identify when you select the wireless network to which to connect. The default is 
2WIREXXX, where XXX represents the last three digits of the serial number on the first access point that 
was connected (for example, 2WIRE954). 
1.Open a Web browser and enter http://gateway.2Wire.net to access the 2Wire i3812V user interface. 
2.Click   on the Home page; the Wireless Access Point List and Unique Settings page opens (Figure 9).
3.Scroll down to the Wireless Network Shared Settings pane. 
4.Enter a name assigned to your wireless network in the Network Name (SSID) field.
This name appears next to   on the Home page.
5.Enable or disable the broadcast of the SSID over the wireless network by selecting or deselecting the 
checkbox. 
Enabled is the default setting, which means that your SSID is visible to anyone who is scanning for a 
network to which to connect.
Deselect the 
Enable checkbox to help secure your wireless network by not announcing its presence. 
6.Click Save. 
Note: It is best to select Auto because a channel is automatically selected 
to minimize interference. 
Note: If you add a PC or device later, the wireless client will be unable to 
scan and connect to your wireless network when the SSID broadcast is 
disabled. You will need to manually add a wireless profile in the client device 
to connect to the wireless network instead of selecting the SSID name from 
a typical scan list.

Securing your Wireless Network 
There are two methods to secure your wireless network, using the encr yption key and/or by blocking the 
Media Access Control (MAC) address. 
Using the Encr yption Key
It is good practice to customize an encryption key for wireless communication. When it is defined, each 
wireless client needs to have that encr yption key to connect to your wireless network. 
1.Open a Web browser and enter http://gateway.2Wire.net to access the 2Wire i3812V user interface. 
2.Click   on the Home page; the Wireless Access Point List and Unique Settings page opens (Figure 9).
3.Scroll down to the Security pane. 
Caution: Wireless Security is enabled by default. Do not disable the security 
authentication and security features; they protect your private data 
transmission over the wireless link. Doing so may compromise the security of 
your PCs or other devices and lead to theft of ser vice or loss of bandwidth. 
Enter your 
encryption key.
