If you look at the back of the HT2000W, you will see a sticker that lists the name of both Wifi networks on your modem, as well as the passwords for each network. Have you tried using that information to connect?

1: Go to http://systemcontrolcenter.com OR http://192.168.0.1

3: You will need to enter the password, by default it is admin
4: Click on each wifi setting and make sure the SSID Enable is checked to enable the radio, then click save settings.

I had written the password down incorrectly! My eyes were not working this morning. I am connected!
Congrats on being able to get connected! Please remember my earlier statement though in regards to having multiple wifi routers in use in the same area. It is best practice to disable one or the other, or at a minimum, change the channel they operate on so they don't conflict as much.
