Setting Up a Wireless Network
Connection
ARRIS recommends 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 SBG6400 are connected through an Ethernet
connection.
Choose one of the following options to set up your wireless network connection:
•
Launch the SBG6400 Quick Start Wizard
•
Set Up a Wireless Network Using Your Computer
•
Use the SBG6400 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 SBG6400 Quick Start Wizard
The SBG6400 Quick Start Wizard is a six-step application to help you quickly configure the default
wireless network settings on your SBG6400. 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
SBG6400 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 SBG6400 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.
