HT2000W Modem Wi-Fi Configuration (Satellite Modem)

Connecting via Ethernet

• Using the provided Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to one of the open LAN ports on the rear of the HT2000W, connect the other end to your PC’s Ethernet port.
• Ensure lights are blinking on the LAN port you have connected your PC to. If lights are not blinking, ensure that the connector on the cable is fully seated in the LAN port.
• You are now connected to your HT2000W.

Connecting via Wi-Fi with WPA Password

• On the rear of the HT2000W is a label containing the default SSID (Wi-Fi Network Name) for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, as well as the password to connect to the Internet.
• On your Wi-Fi enabled device, choose either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz network name in your Wi-Fi setup utility. Enter the password noted from the rear of the unit when prompted.
• You are now connected to your HT2000W.

Connecting via Wi-Fi with WPS setup

• Put your device into WPS pairing mode (this step varies by device).
• Once your device tells you to, press the WPS button on the HT2000W.
• Your device should then connect to the HT2000W’s wireless network automatically.
• You are now connected to your HT2000W.

Changing your Wi-Fi networks’ names and security settings

1. SSID Enable – Enable/Disable this SSID. Default is on. Network Name (SSID) – Choose the name of your network. Default value is the same as displayed on the rear label.
2. SSID Broadcast – When un-checked, this option allows you to hide your network from appearing when searching for Wi-Fi networks on your devices. You can still access this network, but must use the hidden network option on the device you are trying to connect.
3. Security Type – Choose WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, or No Password. We recommend not operating your HT2000W without a Wi-Fi password. Default is WPA-Personal.
4. WPA Mode – Choose WPA mode. WPA2 by default, some legacy devices only support WPA, you can change this to WPA/WPA2 for such devices.
5. Cipher Suite – This cannot be changed, but is to inform you of the cipher suite being used.
6. Pre-shared Key – This is your Wi-Fi password. This will overwrite the default password on the rear label.
