Configuring Your MoCA

Network

With the SBG6782-AC MoCA interface, you can create a reliable home network using your

existing coaxial wiring. MoCA provides Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity with your set-top

boxes, Smart TVs, and any other Ethernet-enabled electronic devices in your home. You can also

use MoCA adapters to further extend your MoCA home network to connect additional Smart

TVs, computers, gaming consoles, and other network devices.

You can enable or disable the SBG6782-AC MoCA interface. If the SBG6782-AC is not set up as

the MoCA Network Controller, it will not have any control over the other devices on the MoCA

network. If you disable the SBG6782-AC as the MoCA Network Controller, then you are allowing

another device to become the MoCA Network Controller.

Protecting & Monitoring Your

Wireless Network

After you have successfully connected the SBG6782-AC gateway and your wireless devices, you

should configure the gateway to protect your wireless network from unwanted and unauthorized

access by any wireless devices within range of your wireless network. Although security for the

SBG6782-AC gateway is already configured, you can use the SBG6782-AC configuration

manager to tailor the level of security and access that you want to allow on your network.

Prevent Unauthorized Access

To prevent unauthorized access and configuration to your wireless

network, we highly recommend that you immediately change the default

user name and password after connecting to the Internet and logging on to

the SBG6782-AC for the first time.

One of the most important recommendations for securing your wireless home network is to

change the default administrator password on your SBG6782-AC and other wireless devices as

well. Default passwords are commonly used and shared on the Internet.

To ensure that your wireless home network is secure, it is recommended that you follow these

best practices for user passwords:

•

Always create a secure password or pass phrase that is not easily guessed.

•

Use phrases instead of names so that it may be easier for you to remember.

•

Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

•

Continue to change your administrator password on a regular basis.

Note

: If your service provider supplied the SBG7682-AC gateway, you may not have the

necessary user privileges to change the log in user name.

1.

Log in to the SGB6782-AC from any web browser on your computer.
