Question
How do I access the web manager on my W6B?
Answer
When logging into the W6B Web Manager for the first time, it is required to create an admin username and password in order to access the Web Manager.  Save the created login credentials.  If the login credentials are lost, a factory reset must be performed.   

The Web Manager's features include connected Wi-Fi clients list, customizing or setting up Wi-Fi networks, changing admin account username and password, factory reset or restarting the device, firmware updates, changing LED light, changing time zone, and WPS Push-button setup.

    NOTE: A security or private risk alert may appear on the web browser advising users to proceed with caution when accessing the Web Manager.  There is no risk in proceeding to the Web Manager.  For instructions to by-pass the alert screen, refer to article # 18181 - Alert Message for Web Manager Access.
