Comtrend WR-5882 Wireless-N Broadband Router

Logging In to Change the

SSID & Wireless Security

The SSID is the broadcast name of your wireless signal

or the name of the connect you will see from a wireless

device. The Security refers to a code assigned to the

wireless signal that must be typed in by any device

wishing to use your wireless internet signal. This protects you from people living close to you from

accessing your Internet (intentionally or unintentionally). This code will only need to be typed once

per device except in cases of long absence or router replacement.

Changing the SSID and Security can only be done from a device physically plugged into an

ethernet port on your Comtrend Broadband Router. If your only device is a smart phone or tablet

with no ethernet connectivity, contact TCC to make SSID and Security changes for you.

If you do have a computer with ethernet access, here is what to do:

1. Connect Your Modem

a. Connect an ethernet cord from any of the numbered ports (1-4) on the back of the Comtrend unit

b. Connect the other end of the ethernet to an ethernet plug in on your computer

c. Make sure the power cord to the Comtrend unit is plugged in and your computer is on

a. On your computer or device, open the browser

(Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari)

b. In the address bar at the top, type 192.168.0.1 and press the Enter key on the keyboard

c. At the login prompt, type in User Name: admin and Password: tccadsl and click Log In

Page 3: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Restart If your Comtrend is plugged in correctly and the proper lights are lit up, try unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in. Then restart your computer to see if that helps. Sometimes a minor communication "hiccup" can stall communications between a modem and computer. Restarting both (router first, then computer) usually cures this.
