Wireless Cable Modem Gateway CGD24G User Manual
The gateway automatically goes through the following steps in the provisioning process:
1.It acquires and locks the downstream channel
2.It acquires the upstream parameters and range.
3.It locks the upstream channel
4.It acquires the IP address through DHCP
Changing the Built-In Password
For security reasons, the gateway has its own user name and password. Also, after a period of inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login will automatically disconnect. When prompted, enter admin for the gateway user name and password for the gateway password. You can use procedures below to change the gateway’s password.
Note: The user name and password are not the same as any user name or password you may use to log in to your Internet connection.
NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
To change the password:
1.Log in to the gateway using its default address of http://192.168.0.1 or at whatever IP address the unit is currently configured. Use the default user name of admin and default password of password, or the password you have set up.
2.In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Set Password. The Set Password screen displays.
