Setting Up a Wireless Network
Connection
ARRIS recommends that you first verify that your computer can connect to the Internet using an
Ethernet connection before configuring your wireless network.
You must already have access to a high-speed Internet service in your home before you can set
up a wireless network connection or connect wireless devices to the SBG6900-AC. Also, make
sure the SBG6900-AC and your computer are connected through an Ethernet connection.
Choose one of the following options to set up your wireless network connection:
•
Launch the SBG6900-AC Quick Start Wizard
•
Set Up a Wireless Network Using Your Computer
•
Use the SBG6900-AC WPS Pairing Button
After setting up your wireless network connection, check that the connection was set up
properly. See
Test Your Wireless Network Connection
for more information.
Launch the SBG6900-AC Quick Start Wizard
The SBG6900-ACQuick Start Wizard is a six-step application to help you quickly configure the
default wireless network settings on your SBG6900-AC. It configures your wireless network
name (SSID), Wi-Fi Security key (network password), and Wi-Fi Security code.
IMPORTANT NOTE
: The quick start wizard uses the default settings already configured
for your SBG6900-AC to help you quickly set up your wireless home network. However,
the wizard will only let you change the wireless network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi Security
key (network password). After completing the wizard and getting your SBG6900-AC
connected to the Internet, you will be able to make additional network configuration
changes to further customize your wireless home network and connect your wireless
devices. See
Configuring Your Wireless Network
for more information.
