Issue
Some SBG6782s may have WPA2-PSK wireless encryption settings pre-loaded at the time of manufacture and may not be compatible with several Windows® Operating Systems currently in the field.
Description and Details
The SBG6782 is an 802.11n Wireless-Gateway device with 802.11 b/g backward compatibility. This device is pre-configured with 802.11n enabled, a unique Primary SSID, WPA2-PSK encryption enabled, and a unique WPA/WPA2 Pre-Shared Key. Several of the more common PC Operating Systems currently deployed do not support WPA2 encryption, and manual reconfiguration of the unit may be required to establish a secure wireless connection with those systems.
The following Windows® Operating Systems will support the SBG6782 pre-configured WPA2-PSK wireless settings:
- Microsoft Windows® 8
- Microsoft Windows® 7
- Microsoft Windows® Vista
- Microsoft Windows® XP SP3
- Microsoft Windows® XP SP2 w/ KB893357 hotfix
Other Windows
® Operating Systems (or devices that do not support WPA2) will require the user to manually change the default wireless encryption settings to WPA-PSK.
Corrective Actions
Manual reconfiguration will require a user to connect to the SBG6782 via an ethernet connection. Once connected, the user can access the SBG6782 internal HTML screens to change the necessary wireless settings.
