The most effective method to keep your Gateway secure is to keep your Gateway

and Wi-Fi password details in a safe place and protect against unauthorised physical

access to your Gateway.

Your Gateway settings are password protected with an administrator login.

The default username = admin

The default password = admin

Telecom recommends you create a unique password to protect access to your

Gateway. To do this, you need to use the Gateway's User Interface:

Open a web browser, type 192.168.1.254 into the address bar and press enter.

This will take you to the User Interface.

2. Enter the Username and Password and click on Login.

3. Click on the maintenance tab on left side menu to access the Account menu;

then click on Account.

4. When prompted, enter the current Gateway Username (by default admin)

and Password (by default admin); then enter your new password and confirm it,

then click Submit. Your password is changed.

The next time you want to change your Gateway settings you must log in using your

unique password.

Note: If you forget your Administrator password you will need to reset the Gateway to

factory default, (see step 13).

WARNING! A factory reset restores the Gateway to the default settings –

all remembered Wi-Fi connections and any user customisations are erased.

Most users should only perform a factory reset when you are directed to

by the broadband helpdesk.

To factory reset your Gateway, do the following:

While the Gateway is turned on, insert a paper clip into the Reset hole in the back,

press down for 8 to 10 seconds, then release.

2. The Gateway will reset and then restart. This can take up to 5 minutes.

3. After a factory reset, you must manually reconnect each Wi-Fi device and redo

any customisations.
