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 SBG6580 are connected through an Ethernet
connection.
Choose one of the following options to set up your wireless network connection:
•
Launch the SBG6580 Quick Start Wizard
•
Set Up a Wireless Network Connection Using Your Computer
•
Use the SBG6580 WPS Pairing Button
After setting up your wireless network connection, check to make sure your wireless network
connection was set up properly. See
Test Your Wireless Network Connection for more information.
Launch the SBG6580 Quick Start Wizard
The SBG6580 Quick Start Wizard is a six-step application to help you quickly configure the default
wireless network settings on your SBG6580. 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 default settings already configured for your SBG6580 to set
up your wireless network. You can keep the default settings for now to quickly connect your wireless network
and then customize your wireless network at a later time (highly recommended). Or, you can customize your
wireless network settings using the quick start wizard.
