Changing Wireless Settings
The MG7550 comes set up for wireless-N (2.4 GHz band) and wireless-AC (5
GHz band) with WPA2 security, with unique wireless network names (SSIDs)
for each band, and a unique password. Both bands use this password.
There’s a good chance that you’ll want to use these settings. In that case you
will need to configure client wireless devices (laptops, smartphones, etc.)
with your MG7550’s wireless network names and password to connect the
devices to the Primary Network on your MG7550. (You may want to enable a
separate Guest Network or Networks for visitors and others for whom you
want to provide Internet access without also providing access to your
computers and other devices connected to your network.)
You may want to change the wireless settings on the Primary Network. The
most common reason is that you’re replacing a cable modem/router and you
want to use the same wireless network names and passwords that you’ve
had. If you change the wireless settings on your MG7550 to match your
previous settings, you won’t have to change the settings of wireless devices
that worked with your previous router. Unless there’s a good reason to
change your wireless settings, you should use the unique ones assigned at
the factory.
To change the wireless settings, first log into the Configuration Manager as
described in chapter 6. In summary, you type
192.168.0.1
in the address bar
of your browser, go to that address, enter the Username

Be sure to write down and save the new wireless network names and
passwords in a place where you can easily find it. One approach is to write
them on a small piece of paper and tape it on the bottom of your cable
modem. Some people like to take a picture of the settings with their phone,
which is fine as long as long as they save it in a place where they are sure to
find it when they need it.
