gateway to protect your wireless network from unwanted and unauthorized access. Use the SVG6x82
web-based configuration manager to change various default configuration settings on the SVG6x82.
Note: If your gateway was obtained as part of a service package, your service provider may require
alternative configuration methods. If you cannot access any of the HTML pages in the SVG6x82 Web
Manager, please contact your service provider for assistance.

Changing the Default User Name and Password

network, it is recommended that you immediately change the default
password after logging on to the gateway for the first time.

default administrator password on your SVG6x82 and other wireless devices as well.

practices:
