Protecting & monitoring your Wi-Fi network
After you have successfully connected the SBG10 and your Wi-Fi devices, you should configure
the SBG10 to protect your Wi-Fi network from unwanted and unauthorized access by any Wi-
Fi network devices that are within range of your Wi-Fi network. Although network security for
the SBG10 is already configured, you can use the SBG10 Web Manager to set the level of
security and access that you want to allow on your Wi-Fi network.
Prevent unauthorized access
Caution: To prevent unauthorized access and configuration to your Wi-Fi home network,
ARRIS recommends that you immediately change the default user password after connecting
to the Internet and logging on to the SBG10 for the first time.
One of the most important recommendations for securing your Wi-Fi home network is to
change the default user password on your SBG10 and other Wi-Fi devices as well. Default
passwords are commonly used and shared on the Internet.
To ensure that your Wi-Fi 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 SBG10, you may not have the necessary user
privileges to change the login user name.
Change the user password
You can change your user login password at any time:
1. From any web manager screen, click the Basic Setup main menu button on the
SBG10 Web Manager menu bar.
2. Click LOGIN SETTINGS from the Basic Setup submenu options list.
The Login Settings screen displays.
