In order to connect your wireless device(s) to CenturyLink WiFi, start by taking a look at the internet light on the modem. It must be green. (If not, some troubleshooting may be required before you can connect your wireless devices to the network).

Next, take these steps to connect your devices to the CenturyLink Internet home network.

Locate Your Network Name and Password

First things first: get to the label at the bottom or side of the wireless modem/router. This sticker has important information about your device, including the default network name (SSID) and password (key/passphrase).

Choose Your Network and Connect Using the Wi-Fi Password

Depending on your wireless device, things may differ a little. That said, most devices display a Wi-Fi or Wireless Network Settings menu. In this menu, you will be able to find a list of all the available wireless networks as detected by the device.

  • Locate the Wi-Fi or Wireless Settings menu. And select “On” or “Enable” to turn on Wi-Fi.
  • Next, choose your network from the list?look for the network name (SSID) your wireless modem/router label had printed on it. Select it. Then enter the default password for the network when prompted and connect.
  • You can choose to check the box which says “remember password or network” or “connects automatically” so that you do not have to enter the credentials each time.
  • Once the correct password has been detected your device should connect within seconds.

If despite entering the password your device does not connect or times out, just confirm:

  • You are selecting the correct network?you should be able to recognize it by the default SSID printed on the label on your wireless modem.
  • You are typing in the correct password?you must make sure to enter the default key/passphrase printed on the label on your wireless modem.

Simple repeat the above-mentioned steps to connect more devices to your CenturyLink wireless internet.

Remember that you can also change your Wi-Fi password in the future for security.

Final Step: Check the Wi-Fi Status on Your Modem

Once your device is connected, the WiFi status indicator light will also tell you of the exact status at the time?it may be solid green or flickering green.

Just in case, here is what the various colors of the WiFi light on the modem indicate:

  • When the WiFi light has no color to it?Wireless is OFF.
  • When you see a green flickering light?Wireless is ON. And data is getting transmitted.
  • When you see a solid green light?Wireless is ON. But no data is getting transmitted.
  • When you see an amber light?Wireless has been temporarily turned off via the wireless schedule in the modem settings.

Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some troubleshooting tips you can try if you face issues with connecting your wireless device to CenturyLink WiFi:
