• Connecting to Wi-Fi: On your wireless device (smartphone, laptop, tablet), search for available Wi-Fi networks. Select the SSID matching your CODA-4589 and enter the Wi-Fi Key when prompted.
• Changing Wi-Fi Settings: To customize your Wi-Fi network name or password, access the modem's web management interface.
