router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.

The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time

Change the LAN TCP/IP settings
The modem router is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and
to act as a DHCP server. The modem router’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
• LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1
• Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private
networks and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP
addressing scheme, you can change these settings.
You might want to change these settings if you need a specific IP subnet that one or
more devices on the network use, or if you use competing subnets with the same IP
scheme.
