To connect devices to a secure in-home WiFi network, you need the WiFi name and password. Use the following steps to find your device's WiFi information.
 

If you have a My WiFi-enabled modem, use the My WiFi portal on Cox.com to see your Wireless Network Name (SSID) and Password. Refer to Managing Your In-Home Network with My WiFi.

Check the following places for the standard WiFi name and password.
