Answer | When logging into the Web Manager of the SBG6900-AC with the default username and password, the Alert!! message box will appear. Â The Alert!! message box contains two messages. Â The first message advises that the current login is using the default settings, ARRIS recommends changing the default username and password for network security. Â
The second message advises that the SBG6900-AC supports a Wi-Fi Band Steering feature. Â Band Steering technology will detect if a Wi-Fi client has dual-band capabilities and will send the Wi-Fi client to the 5 GHz bands if the 2.4 GHz band becomes overcrowded. Â (If the 5 GHz band gets crowded, the Band Steering function can also move a 5 GHz client to the 2.4 GHz band.)
