Quick Tips (continued)

Ensure your devices recognize your Modem

Make sure you are using the correct Modem wi-fi network name and password. The default wi-fi

network name is ―

WiFiRSU-xx‖, where ―xx

‖ ar

e the last two digits of the MAC ID, which can be

found on the label on the back of the Modem. The MAC ID also might be referred to as WAN

MAC ID.

Make sure the wi-fi-enabled devices with which you are trying to share are within range of your

Modem – usually within 150 feet.

If you are sharing the Modem wi-fi network with other devices and you turn the Modem off, the other devices

won’t be able to access the internet.

Maximize security of the Modem

Use the Modem Home Page to change the wi-fi network name and password. If you’re using your

Modem and are connected to the internet, click

here

to open the Modem Home Page.

Use the highest level of security that your w-fi-enabled devices support (check the wi-fi-enabled

device’s user manual for instructions).

enabled device’s user manual for instructions.

Resetting your Username and Password

If you’ve forgotten your Admin Password, it’s easy to reset.

example, the password required to log in and manage your Modem will be reset to ―CLEAR123‖, the

factory default setting.

Use a pin to press the Reset button close to the ethernet port (on the side of the Modem). Press

and hold the pin on the Reset button for at least 5 seconds. The Modem will be reset to the factory

settings and reboot.
