Launch the SBG6580 Quick Start Wizard
The SBG6580 Quick Start Wizard is a six-step application to help you quickly customize the
default wireless network settings on your SBG6580. The wizard configures your SBG6580
wireless network name (SSID), Wi-Fi Security Key (network password), and Wi-Fi Security
mode.

wizard will only let you change the wireless network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi Security
Key (network password). After completing the wizard and getting your SBG6580
connected to the Internet, you will be able to make additional network configuration
changes to further customize your wireless home network and connect your wireless
devices. See
