Setting up a Wi-Fi network connection
Note : Your home network connection must be up and running on the Internet before you can
set up your Wi-Fi network connections. Before proceeding, check that your SBG10 and
computer or other client device can connect to the Internet using a wired Ethernet cable
connection, see
Connect the SBG10 to your client device (page 16 ) for more information.
Please note that If your Internet service is not yet set up, contact a broadband service provider
of your choice for assistance.
There are three Wi-Fi network connection options available to configure your Wi-Fi network
connection on your home network. Click one of the following:

Launch the SBG10 quick start wizard (page 25 )

Set up a Wi-Fi network connection using your mobile device (page 32 )

Set up a Wi-Fi network connection using your client device (page 34 )
After setting up your Wi-Fi home network connection, check that your Wi-Fi network
connection was set up properly, see
Test your Wi-Fi network connection (page 40 ).
Launch the SBG10 quick start wizard
The SBG10 Quick Start Wizard is a six-step application to help you quickly configure the
default Wi-Fi network settings on your SBG10. It configures the SBG10 Wi-Fi network name
(SSID), Wi-Fi Security Key (network password), and Wi-Fi Security code.
Note : The SBG10 Quick Start Wizard uses the default network settings configured for your
SBG10 to help you quickly set up your Wi-Fi home network. However, using the wizard, you can
only change the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi Security key (network password). After
completing the wizard and connecting your SBG10 to your Wi-Fi home network, you can make
additional network configuration changes to further customize your Wi-Fi home network and
connect your Wi-Fi devices. See
Configuring your Wi-Fi network (page 41) for more
information.
1. Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) on the
computer or client device connected to your SBG10.
2. Type the default LAN IP address, 192.168.100.1 , in the Address bar and then press Enter
to log on to your SBG10 and open the SBG10 Web Manager.
The SBG10 Login screen displays.
