Last man running XP the virus magnet , oops???? no future there.
no PC told no wifi card model told. and what 2wire means I guess 2 antenna wires sure.
SBG6580 this is cable mode + router both in one, AIO +wifi 'N" grade
step 1; the PC works great i wired mode ethernet to rear of surfboard
no, then the modem is failing call the ISP.
yes, wired works
so now comes pesky love/hate wifi next.
1billion posts on the web, pain. ... I can fix them all but is hard work.
rule one in this regard, NO PC told but
WPA (1) must be enaBled the router side. of surfboard.
I have all mine set to wpa2/3. (wep and wpa1 blocked)
as did yours new, wpa1 is off.
but you do as you want if old things in the home that only do wpa1.
then what you set.
the SSID and PW are both , case sensitive.
worse yet some characters are not allowed either end.
page 24 in your manual states, RTM amazing what is there, behold.
WPA2-PSK is automatically set as the default
page 47 shows, and do pick it there inside the router
this
Select one of the following wireless network security options for your wireless network from the
Wireless Security drop-down list:
WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access
WPA-PSK: Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key, standard encryption
WPA2: Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 with Pre-Shared Key, standard encryption with the AES
encryption type
WPA2-PSK: Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 with Pre-Shared Key (recommended)
8.Choose the wireless network encryption type in the Encryption field:
AES- Advanced Encryption Standard: Provides the strongest encryption (recommended)
AES+TKIP- Advanced Encryption Standard and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol: Allows both
AES and TKIP-capable clients to connect to your wireless network.
just so you know, newer routers are like this,.today...
and are way more secure too and less bugs. ! old bad, new good.
ad_hoc or guess mode are gone forever
WPS+ pin gone ,too, (now, new Netgear is preset ssd +pass ,NIB
label on router shows this.fact. and WPS button GONE.
WEP gone for ever, it is insecure max.
wpa (fear growing) but may have it or just alone.aka wpa1.
or show up as wpa1/2
then see WPA2/3, like mine, and wpa1 is single choice.
what your PC and TV;s need and demand I can not guess.
is using a PC learn what WPA it uses.(age of PC is the key)
learn what other things in home use or need (IOT)
yes some old things are wpa 1 only. no higher.
then make your choices for sure all same and wpa2 if can.
and then set the router to that.
and use a PW that is only alpha- numeric and does not use dictionary words. or all upper or lower, mixed can be hard to learn
here is me using lastpass, autogen
example: only, use a one case SSID.

The DSi only works with WEP encryption. The 2Wire and most other newer routers use WPA encryption.
Simply logon to your router with a web browser. The default IP for it is 10.1.1.138 but it might be different, just check the manual or internet for the IP. Go to "Home Network" then "Advanced Settings" and change the security from WPA to WEP and save.
Thats it!
Hope that helps.

Contact your Internet Service Provider. Since you will be connecting your modem to their network, you need to follow their setup instructions, to ensure that it functions correctly.
Your wireless is set up with a password. You need to get that password before you can connect any more devices. From a computer that can connect to the internet go to 192.168.0.1. Then type admin for the username and motorola for the password. I believe from there you click Wireless then click Primary Network. You should see your wireless network name and password from there. I'm getting this from the modems manual here: http://www.midcocomm.com/_files/files/SBG6580.pdf
