How to find your WiFi network details

Need to look up your WiFi network name (SSID) and password? There are several ways to find these credentials:

  • If you haven't customized them, the default settings are printed on the modem sticker
  • You can see them in the WiFi network area of My CenturyLink on the web or in the app.
  • If you've customized the settings, you can also look them up in the modem GUI.

Check the modem sticker

You can find your wireless network information printed on the sticker, which should be attacked to the back or bottom of your modem. Look for the SSID (WiFi network name) and security key (WiFi password). Some modems may have two SSIDs, one for 5 GHz and one for 2.4 GHz.
