Setting Up a Wireless Network
Connection
It is highly recommended that you first verify that your computer can connect to the Internet using an
Ethernet connection before configuring your wireless network.
You must already have access to an Internet service in your home before setting up a wireless network
connection. Also, make sure your computer and the SBG6700-AC are connected through an Ethernet
connection.
Choose one of the following options to set up your wireless network connection:
• Launch the SBG6700-AC Quick Start Wizard
• Set Up a Wireless Network Using Your Computer
• Use the SBG6700-AC WPS Pairing Button
After setting up your wireless network connection, check that your wireless network connection was set
up properly. See Test Your Wireless Network Connection for more information.
Launch the SBG6700-AC Quick Start Wizard
The SBG6700-AC Quick Start Wizard is a six-step application to help you quickly configure the default
wireless network settings on your SBG6700-AC. It configures your wireless network name (SSID), Wi-Fi
Security key (network password), and Wi-Fi Security code.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The quick start wizard uses the default settings already configured for your SBG6700-AC
to help you quickly set up your wireless home network. However, the 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 SBG6700-AC 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 Creating Wi-Fi Networks for more information.
