have entered in CPE wi-fi security configuration.
 For this go to the properties of Wi-Fi connection,
 select the tab Wireless Networks.
 Select the wi-fi network name ( more than one networks may be
present in your area, identify your network by SSID name which is
configured in modem. Normally the CPE model name ( say WA1003A)
is factory default SSID setting) and click on Properties.
 Look for field Data Encryption and network ID, select WEP as Data
Encryption and enter the network ID which you have entered in CPE
