1.4 Good Habits for Managing the NBG6815
Do the following things regularly to make the NBG6815 more secure and to manage the NBG6815 more
effectively.
Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the NBG6815 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG6815. You could simply
restore your last configuration.
1.5 Resetting the NBG6815
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to
use the RESET button at the back of the NBG6815 to reload the factory-default configuration file. This
means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to
“1234” and the IP address will be reset to “192.168.1.1”.
1.5.1 How to Use the RESET Button
1 Make sure the power LED is on.
2 Press the RESET button for one to four seconds to restart/reboot the NBG6815.
3 Press the RESET button for longer than five seconds to set the NBG6815 back to its factory-default
configurations.
1.6 The WPS Button
Your NBG6815 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless
network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure
security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must
support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its
configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to
authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two
minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up
a secure network by themselves.
You can use the WPS button ( ) on the side panel of the NBG6815 to activate WPS in order to quickly
set up a wireless network with strong security.
