Protecting & Monitoring Your
Wireless Network
After you have successfully connected the SBG6580 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 SBG6580 gateway
is already configured, you can use the SBG6580 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 SBG6580
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 SBG6580 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 passphrase 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 SBG6580, you may not have the necessary user privileges to
change the log in user name.
Change the Default User Name and Password
To change the default user name for logging onto the Gateway Web Manager:
1.
Log in to the SBG6580 from any web browser on the computer connected to the SBG6580.
2.
Type the Gateway Web Manager IP address,
, in the Address bar and
then press
Enter
. The gateway Login screen displays.
3.
Type the default username and password as they appear below:
ο
Username:
admin
ο
Password:
motorola

Click
Login
to open the SBG6580 Web Manager. The SBG6580 Status Connection screen displays.
