Wi-Fi is a wireless connection that is hosted by a router, modem, or other Wi-Fi access point, that allows other devices to connect to it.

Routers and modems that support Wi-Fi can be configured to enable Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi setup is simple, it usually has 2 basic sections... SSID and Security

SSID:
SSID is an acronym for Service Set Identification. Basically an SSID is a Wi-Fi network name, such as 'linksys' or 'actiontec'.

Security:
Security is also known as Encryption, and it is optional. Security is intended to keep unwanted devices off of the wireless network. In most cases, security is off by default.

Popular security methods are:

-WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
-WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
-WPA2

Unfortunately WEP has turned out to be much less secure than intended, so WPA is preferred to WEP.

The methods listed above are based on passwords. If you choose to use a password security method, remember that the password will be needed by any device that connects to the Wi-Fi network, so be sure to write down the password!


Most routers and modem manufacturers have their own methods of setting up Wi-Fi on their devices, because of this it makes it very difficult for tech support to identify the method of setting up Wi-Fi for these devices. Wi-Fi is a feature of some modems/routers and is considered to be a personal preference and therefore cannot be supported by Visionary directly.

This article, combined with the modem/router manual, should help you configure your Wi-Fi.

Tip: If you're unable to locate the manual for the modem/router, it is most likely available at the manufacturers website.
