Stay safe and secure
We recommend changing your default password after the first login to protect your
modem from unauthorised access.
On the base of your modem there is a section called Admin IP Address with a number
address, 192.168.20.1, and the default user name and password of admin/admin.
1. Open your preferred browser (eg Safari, Internet Explorer) and log in to your
Modem by typing http://192.168.20.1 into the address bar. This is your Admin IP
Address.
2. Enter your admin username and password into the login window that appears (the
default for name and password is admin).
3. Once logged in to your modem, go to Management > Access Control > Passwords.
4. To change the password enter admin under Old Password and then enter your
new desired password under New Password and Confirm Password.
5. Once completed click on the Apply / Save button.
6. When you update the password, be sure to write down your new admin password
and keep this somewhere safe.

- Tips to improve your modem's performance
If you're in a multi-level property or you've got a lot of devices to connect to your
wireless modem, set up the modem so it's as near as possible to the centre of the
house. This should help to improve your connectivity and speed.
Avoid placing your modem near devices that may emit radio "noise," such as
microwave ovens or dense objects that can block wireless communication, including
refrigerators, washers and/or dryers, metal cabinets, fish tanks etc.
MY SKY subscribers
If you are a MY SKY HDi/+ customer, place your modem close enough to connect to
your MY SKY HDi box (approximately 1 metre away), but not directly behind it.
You may require a SKY LINK or cable which you can acquire through SKY at
skyondemand.co.nz or call SKY on 0800 759 759.
