If you’re the tech-savvy kind, then you might want to explore your modem’s Advanced Setup area, which allows you to change several settings that give you greater control over your modem's operation.
Follow the steps listed below to access the Advanced Setup menu:
1. Connect a device, such as a computer or tablet, to the internet through WiFi or using an Ethernet cable connected to your modem.
2. Open a web browser and type http://192.168.0.1 into the web address field.
3. Log in to the modem's settings interface (Modem GUI) using your Admin Username and Admin Password. Note that these are different from your wireless network name (SSID) and WiFi password (security key).
4. Select the Advanced Setup icon in the main menu.
Then, select a menu option from the left sidebar. The full menu of options is listed below, with links to find step-by-step instructions for each setting.
