Protecting Your Wireless
Network
After you have successfully connected the SBG7682 and your wireless devices, you should configure the
gateway to protect your wireless network from unwanted and unauthorized access. Use the SVG6x82
web-based configuration manager to change various default configuration settings on the SVG6x82.
Note
: If your gateway was obtained as part of a service package, your service provider may require
alternative configuration methods. If you cannot access any of the HTML pages in the SVG6x82 Web
Manager, please contact your service provider for assistance.
Changing the Default User Name and Password
To prevent unauthorized access and configuration to your wireless
network, it is recommended that you immediately change the default
password after logging on to the gateway for the first time.
The most important recommendation towards securing your wireless home network is to change the
default administrator password on your SVG6x82 and other wireless devices as well.
To ensure that your wireless home network is secure, it is recommended that you follow these best
practices:
•
Always create a secure password that is not easily guessed
•
Use phrases instead of names that may be easier for you to remember

Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
