Step 1. Open your Internet Browser and in the address field type in http://192.168.1.1.
Step 2. When prompted type in the Username and Password, enter the validation code displayed on your
page and then click on the “Log In”button.
If you have not changed the password for the modem administration, the factory settings are:
Username: admin
Password: admin
If you cannot recall the password you assigned to your modem you will need to reset the modem to factory defaults
by pressing the reset button for 10 seconds. Please note that this will revert all the settings in the modem to factory
settings and you will have to reconfigure it with your Internet settings and Wireless security. Make sure you have
your Internet account details (given by your Internet Provider) handy.
