You can find the Admin Username and Password printed on the sticker attached to the side, back or bottom of the modem.

CAUTION! Do not remove your modem sticker. It includes your default Admin Username and Admin Password, which cannot be retrieved if lost. Your modem could become unusable without them. 

3.  On the home screen, locate the WiFi Settings block. Here you will see a summary of your WiFi network information, including whether the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands are enabled or disabled, plus the network name (SSID) and password for each band. To edit these settings, click on the arrow in the lower corner of the box.
