Quick Start Guide
TLK/800VGT-v2.5-080523

The Billion 800VGT’s default wireless access point
name (SSID) is ‘wlan-ap’. This might have been
changed in the final step of the Easy Setup Wizard.
When you scan for wireless networks using your
wireless client, this is the name that will be displayed.
To ensure wireless security “out-of-the-box”, the
Billion 800VGT is distributed with a unique WPA1
pre-shared security key already setup on your router.
This
pre-shared
key
secures
your
wireless
connection from unauthorised use and is printed on a
sticker on the underside of the router. This pre-
shared key might have been changed in the final step
of the Easy Setup Wizard. If this pre-shared key has
not been changed, then it should be changed as soon
as possible to a user defined value.
You should not attempt to edit the wireless settings
while you are connected to the router via the wireless
interface, as any changes that are made to the
wireless network will result in the connection being
disconnected.
