What if I don’t know my MG7700’s Wireless Network Name/SSID 
or Security Key/Password? 

The default values are printed on the bottom label of the MG7700. 
Use these unless you changed them. If you changed them, try to 
remember where you put the new values. If you have a device that 
connects wirelessly to the MG7700, it may show the Wireless Network 
Name/SSID and Password. You can also find this information in the 
MG7700 Configuration Manager.  Information about using this is in the 
Configuration Manager section above. 
 
If all else fails, reset the device to factory defaults by holding the Reset 
button for 10 seconds. You can then use the default values. 

 

What if I think that wireless devices are interfering with my 
MG7700 wireless router? 

1.  Where possible, put the MG7700 as far away as possible from 

interfering devices such as Bluetooth transmitters and neighbors’ 
Wi-Fi routers. 

2.  To try to pick a less used wireless channel for your MG7700, first 

go in to your MG7700’s Configuration Manager.   

3.  Click the Advanced button at the top of the page, then click the 

Wireless and Scan/Bridge menu items at the top of the page.  

4.  Click the ScanWirelessAPs button. A list will appear of competing 

wireless networks, including the channels they are using. Write 
down one or more of the less used channel numbers, since a less 
used channel should be better for your MG7700.  

5.  On the top of the page, click the Wireless Basic menu item.  
6.  On the Basic page, select the channel you want in the Channel 

pulldown, then click Save.
