Change the Admin Password
You can change the default password that is used to log in to the modem router with the user

access.
To set the password for the user name admin:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
modem router network.
2. Enter http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Set Password.

5. Type the old password, and type the new password twice.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your changes take effect.
