Chapter 5: Using the Cable
Gateway’s Web-based Utility
For your convenience, an administrative utility has been programmed into the
Cable Gateway. From this browser-based utility, you can view the Cable
Gateway’s current status and, when wireless functions are enabled, administer
the wireless settings. This chapter explains all of the functions in this utility.
1. Open your web browser, and
enter 192.168.0.1 into the web
browser’s Address field, as
shown in Figure 5-1. Then,
press the Enter key.
2. An Enter Network Password
window, similar to that shown
in Figure 5-2, appears. Leave
the User Name field empty,
and enter admin (the default
password) in lowercase letters
in the Password field. Then,
click the OK button. Don’t
check the box next Remember
my password,, because you
should change the password
for better network security.
There are seven main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Security, Access Restrictions,
Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional tabs are avail-
able after you click the main tabs.
