Using the Gateway Web Manager

Use the gateway Web Manager to view and monitor the network configuration settings and

operational status of your wireless gateway. You can also configure your network connections

and Wi-Fi security settings. See Protecting & Monitoring Your Wi-Fi Network (page 43) for

more information.

Note: If you did not purchase your wireless gateway from a retail store, you may notice a few

blocked configuration settings in the gateway Web Manager that cannot be modified. This

may be due to some restrictions set up by your service provider to prevent unauthorized

changes to certain configuration parameters.

Start the Gateway Web Manager

Note: You must use the default user name and password (see step 3) if you are logging on to

the gateway Web Manager for the first time. For network security purposes, ARRIS

recommends that you change the default user name and password after setting up your Wi-Fi

network. See Change the Default User Password (page 43) for more information.

1. Open a web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) on the

computer connected to your wireless gateway.

2. Type the default LAN IP address, 192.168.0.1, in the Address bar and then press Enter to

log onto your wireless gateway.

The gateway Login screen displays.
