Question
Where is the wireless name and password located on my SBG7580-AC?
Answer
The SBG7580-AC default Wi-Fi credentials, wireless name and security password, are listed on a sticker on the 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 SBG7580-AC.
