Information

 
Question
Where is the wireless name and password located on my SBG6950AC2 Gateway?
Answer
The SBG6950AC2 default Wi-Fi credentials, wireless name and security password, are listed on stickers on the side and bottom of the device.  The wireless name, also known as SSID (Service Set Identification), is a uniquely identified wireless network.  The preshared key, also known as the wireless security key, encryption key or passphrase, allows wireless clients, such as smart phones and laptops, to join the secured wireless network.  If the Wi-Fi Name and password are changed, they can be retrieved by logging into the Web Manager of the SBG6950AC2.
