1.2
Securing the NBG-418N
Do the following things regularly to make the NBG-418N more secure and to manage the NBG-
418N more effectively.
•
Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
•
Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
•
Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the NBG-418N to its factory default settings. If you
backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG-418N.
You could simply restore your last configuration.

The WPS Button
Your NBG-418N supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure
wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both
devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device
itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that
