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.
