Protecting & Monitoring Your Wireless Network; Prevent Unauthorized Access; Change The Default User Name And Password - Arris SBR-AC3200P User Manual

Protecting & Monitoring Your Wireless Network
After you have successfully connected the SBR-AC3200P Wi-Fi Router and your wireless
devices, you should configure the Wi-Fi Router to protect your wireless network from
unwanted and unauthorized access by any wireless devices within range of your wireless
network. Although security for the SBR-AC3200P Wi-Fi Router is already configured, you can
use the SBR-AC3200P Configuration Manager to tailor the level of security and access that you
want to allow on your network.

Prevent Unauthorized Access

Caution: To prevent unauthorized access and configuration to your wireless network, we
highly recommend that you immediately change the default user name and password after
connecting to the Internet and logging on to the SBR-AC3200P for the first time.
One of the most important recommendations for securing your wireless home network is to
change the default administrator password on your SBR-AC3200P 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, it is recommended 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.

