Protecting & Monitoring Your Wireless Network
After you have successfully connected the SBG7580-AC and your wireless devices, you should
configure the SBG7580-AC to protect your wireless network from unwanted and unauthorized
access by any wireless network devices that are within range of your wireless network.
Although network security for the SBG7580-AC is already configured, you can use the
SBG7580-AC Web Manager to set the level of security and access that you want to allow on
your wireless network.
Prevent Unauthorized Access
Caution: To prevent unauthorized access and configuration to your wireless network, ARRIS
recommends that you immediately change the default password after connecting to the
Internet and logging on to the SBG7580-AC for the first time.
One of the most important recommendations for securing your wireless home network is to
change the default user password on your SBG7580-AC and other wireless devices as well.
Default passwords are commonly used and shared on the Internet.
To ensure that your wireless home network is secure, ARRIS recommends that you follow
these best practices for user passwords:
Always create a secure password or pass phrase that is not easily guessed.
Use phrases instead of names so that it may be easier for you to remember.
Use a combination of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Continue to change your administrator password on a regular basis.
Note: If your service provider supplied the SBG7580-AC, you may not have the necessary user
privileges to change the log in user name.
Change the Default User Password
To change the default user password:
1. Open a web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) on the
computer connected to the SBG7580-AC.
2. Type the default LAN IP address, 192.168.0.1, in the Address bar and then press Enter to
log onto the SBG7580-AC.
The SBG7580-AC Login screen displays.
