Basic Setup

This chapter is a guide through a basic configuration setup of the Modem for users who did NOT use the Actiontec Installation Buddy® to set up the Modem. The basic setup includes instructions on how to connect the Modem to the ISP and change the user name and password.

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

Basic Setup

☞Note: If you already set up the Modem using the Installation Buddy (as described in Chapter 2, “Setting Up the Modem”), the settings described in this section have already been configured. Please continue to chapter 4, “Using Advanced Setup,” to configure the advanced settings of the Modem.

1.Open a Web browser. In the “Address” text box, type http://192.168.0.1

then press Enter on the keyboard.

2.The Web Configurator’s “Main Menu” screen appears. Select Setup/ Configuration.
