Basic Setup

This chapter is a guide through a basic setup of the Modem for those users who did NOT use the Actiontec Installation Buddy® to setup the Modem. It includes instructions on how to connect the Modem to the ISP and changing the admin user name and password.

To complete a basic setup, the user will need information provided by the ISP. This information is sometimes contained in a welcome letter or ISP worksheet. If this document is not available, contact the ISP immediately and request one.
