Actiontec Broadband Router User Manual

How many computers can be connected through the Router?

The Router is capable of 254 connections, but it is recommended to have no more than 45 connections. As you increase the number of connections, you decrease the available speed for each computer.

What is the default user name for the Router?

The default user name for the router is “admin” and the default password is “password” (all lower case, no quotation marks). When logging into the Router the first time (or after restoring the Router’s default settings), the user is asked to create a new user name and password after entering the default user name and password. Enter the new user name and password, write them down on a piece of paper, and keep it in a safe place. The new user name and password will be needed to access the Mega Control Panel in the future.
