Configuration Manager 

You may not need to use the Configuration Manager.  Here are some 
reasons for using the Configuration Manager: 

  You want to change the wireless router setup.  For instance, maybe 

you’re replacing a router and want to use your existing Wireless 
Network Name and/or Password instead of the unique ones that come 
with the MG7700.  

  You want to set up special Internet gaming settings. 

  You want to set up parental controls including white lists and/or black 

lists for certain users and times. 

  You want to get performance information about the MG7700 modem 

and/or built-in router.  This can be helpful in optimizing wireless 
performance.  

 

If you need to access the MG7700 Configuration Manager, open your 
Web browser. Type http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar and press 
the Enter key. 

In the login dialog box, type the following User Name and Password in 
lower case, then click OK.
