6 Administration
6.1 Set Up Root Password
Now that we have a sense of the information on the status section, we need to fix that lack of a
root password. We can do that in ‘Administration’ – ‘System’ – ‘Router Password’. Since this is an
extremely powerful account, we need to provide a strong password that you'll remember. Once you
have a new password, type it into the “password” field and then repeat it into the “confirmation”
field. Make sure to remember this password; when you log into the router again, you'll need this
password.
Lastly, we click “Save” to finalize our changes on this page.
6.2 SSH – Access
In this section, user can define which interface is preferred when using SSH to access the modem.
For security concern, user can also add SSH-Key in the next section if needed.
