Setup

The default IP address of the WCB3000N is 192.168.99.254. Once you connect over HTTP to it, you can use the default username and password of admin/admin. You'll be greeted by a screen like this. It won't be as populated since this shot is already working on a populated network. You can see there are a few MoCA devices on the network which are set top boxes.

The wireless setup is interesting. You can have two independent networks from this device. The 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks can be different and it is a good idea. If you have a few devices that you want to force either connection, you have that choice. It also allows you to better spread the wireless coverage in your house.

You can setup each network individually. The problem on this specific page is that the wireless password phrase is given in plain-text. It is understandable that this is an admin portal, but glancing eyes will easily snoop that. Be aware of that when looking at this page.

Many of the sections are redundant. This security page has the passphrase as well. It has additional options like hiding the SSID and such.

If you want to tinker around with more advanced settings, you can do that as well. The WCB3000N supports multiple virtual SSIDs from the same physical connection. If you want two 2.4GHz networks, you can do that.

This screen fools you. If the WCB3000N is connected to a network, these settings don't do anything. It will always use DHCP. It is understandable why it was done this way, but the "Auto Configure" box shouldn't even be there to trick you into thinking you can set a static IP.
