Set up your modem admin password

The administrator password prevents outsiders from accessing the settings on your modem. After creating a username and password, you will need to enter them every time you access the modem's online user interface located at http://192.168.0.1.

Note: If you are unable to access the modem controls using the admin username/password, you can reset your modem to factory defaults. After resetting, you can log in using the username (SSID) and passphrase (security key) printed on the sticker on your modem.
