Changing Wireless Settings - Motorola MG7540 User Manual

Changing Wireless Settings

The MG7540 comes set up for wireless-N (2.4 GHz band) and wireless-AC (5 GHz
band) with WPA2 security, with unique wireless network names (SSIDs) for each
band, and a unique password. Both bands use this password. There's a good
chance that you'll want to use these settings. In that case you will need to
configure client wireless devices (laptops, smartphones, etc.) with your MG7540's
wireless network names and password to connect the devices to the Primary
Network on your MG7540. (You may want to enable a separate Guest Network or
Networks for visitors and others for whom you want to provide Internet access
without also providing access to your computers and other devices connected to
your network.)
You may want to change the wireless settings on the Primary Network. The most
common reason is that you're replacing a cable modem/router and you want to
use the same wireless network names and passwords that you've had. If you
change the wireless settings on your MG7540 to match your previous settings,
you won't have to change the settings of wireless devices that worked with your
previous router. Unless there's a good reason to change your wireless settings,
you should use the unique ones assigned at the factory.
To change the wireless settings, first log into the Configuration Manager as
described in chapter 6. In summary, you type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of
your browser, go to that address, enter the Username admin and Password
motorola, then click the Login button.
