Change the Router Mode
By default, the modem router is in router mode. This means that it works both as a modem
and as a router. You can share the Internet connection without using another router or
gateway. If you want to connect a gateway or router to the modem router, you must log in to
the modem router and change its Router Mode setting.
To change the router mode:
1. L
aunch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is
connected to the network.
2. T
ype http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login window opens.
3. E
nter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is adm
in. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select AD
VANCED > Administration > Router Mode.
5. Select one of the radio buttons:
•Yes. This is the
default setting. The modem router performs router functions such as
Network Address Translation (NAT).

With this setting, the modem router works as a bridge and obtains IP addresses
from the Internet service provider.
6. Click the Ap
ply button.
Your settings are saved.
