How Do I Configure My DOCSIS Residential Gateway?
Important: We highly recommend that you set up a new password to safeguard
against the possibility of Internet attacks that look for devices operating with
well-known or factory default user names and/or passwords.
4 On the Administration Management page, create a User Name and Password
and then click Save Settings. Once you save the settings for your User Name and
Password on the Administration Management page, the Setup Quick Setup page
opens.
Important: You have the option to leave the password field blank (factory
default). However, if you do not change your User Name and Password, you
will be directed to the Administrative Management page each time you access
the gateway. This serves as a reminder to set up your personalized password.
Once you have personalized your Password, subsequent logins will take you
directly to the Setup Quick Setup page.
5 After you make your selections, click Save Settings to apply your changes or
Cancel Changes to cancel.
Setup > Lan Setup
The Setup Lan Setup page allows you to configure the settings for the Local Area
Network (LAN) in your home. These settings include the range of IP addresses that
define the LAN itself as well as how the addresses are assigned (automatically by
DHCP or manually) as new devices are added to the network.
Important: Unless you are knowledgeable about administering IP addresses, we
recommend that you do not change these settings. If you change these values
incorrectly, you can lose Internet access.
