If the login does not work

  • Check the label first. This model has a unique password printed on the device — admin / admin will not work.
  • Someone may have changed it. A factory reset restores the login above.
  • Reset: Unplug the power, hold the Reset button, plug the power back in and release when the ACT/USR light starts flashing (about 5 seconds).
  • Wrong address? Check your default gateway — see how to find your router’s IP.
  • Type http://, not https://, and turn off any VPN or Private DNS.
