Managing Your Gateway and

Connected Networks

Use the SBG6580 Web Manager to view and monitor the configuration settings and operational status
of your gateway. You can also configure your network connections and wireless security settings. See

Protecting & Monitoring Your Wireless Network

for more information.

Note: If you did not purchase your gateway from a retail store, you may notice a few blocked configuration
settings in the SBG6580 Web Manager that cannot be modified. This may be due to some restrictions set up
by your service provider to prevent unauthorized changes to certain configuration parameters.
