Protecting & Monitoring Your
Wireless Network
After you have successfully connected the SBG6700-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 SBG6700-AC
gateway is already configured, you can use the SBG6700-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 SBG6700-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 SBG6700-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 SBG6700-AC gateway, you may not have the necessary user
privileges to change the log in user name.
