Wireless Network Configuration
When your installer leaves your home after setting up your Buckeye Media Gateway,
your network will be configured and functional.
There are a few settings that you may want to alter at some point in the future that
are accessible from the Gateway’s eRouter website at http://192.168.0.1
The default user name to log in to the website is Admin. Your installer should leave
you with information about the login password.
You may, at some point, want to change the following settings:
SSID: The default SSID for your router is taken from the Buckeye Media Gateway
serial number on the bottom of the Gateway. You have the option to change the
SSID to a more friendly, recognizable name.
Passphrase: The passphrase for your wireless network is printed on the label on
the bottom of your Buckeye Media Gateway. You may want to change this
passphrase initially to something more secure. In addition, you may want to change
it periodically to maintain security levels.
RF Channel: If you’re experiencing interference from a neighbor’s wireless network,
for example, try changing the RF channel frequency.
If, at any point, you forgot your SSID or passphrase and need to access them to
add additional devices to your network, you can use the reset button to reset the
router to default settings. See the previous section for details.
Connecting Devices to Your Network
If you are using a wireless network, you will need to enter the SSID and passphrase
to connect additional devices. Each device that you connect should have instructions
on where to enter this information.
If you are using a wired network, you may need to configure the TCP/IP settings
on the computers you are connecting after you attach the Ethernet cable.
