• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the NBG6604 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG6604. You could simply
restore your last configuration.
1.5 Re se tting the NBG 6604
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to
use the
RESET
button at the back of the NBG6604 to reload the factory-default configuration file. This
means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to
“1234” and the IP address will be reset to “192.168.1.1”.

1.6 The WPS Butto n
Your NBG6604 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless
network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure
security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must
support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its
configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to
authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two
minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up
a secure network by themselves.
You can use the WPS button (
) on the top panel of the NBG6604 to activate WPS in order to
quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.
