Change the Router Mode
By default, the modem router is in router mode. This means that it works both as a modem
and as a router. You can share the Internet connection without using another router.
If you want to cable the modem router to a router, then you must log in to the modem router
and change its Router Mode setting. Selecting Router Mode prevents network conflicts.
Problems can occur when two routers on the same network both attempt to perform routing
tasks such as Network Address Translation (NAT) and DHCP (assigning IP addresses to
devices on the network).
To change the router mode:
1. On your computer or wireless device, find and select the modem router WiFi network.
The WiFi network name is on the modem router’s label.
2. Join the WiFi network and enter the WiFi password.
The password is on the modem router’s label.
Your wireless device connects to the WiFi network.
3. Launch a web browser.
4. Type http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login screen displays.
5. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
6. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Router Mode.
7. Select the No radio button.
With this setting, the modem router works as a bridge and obtains IP addresses from the
Internet service provider.
8. Click the Apply button.
