CONNECTING TO VIRGIN BROADBAND
Your Virgin Broadband Modem can allow you instant access to the Internet. In most cases your
computer is already confi gured to run the Internet and changes won’t need to be made.
Simply follow the directions below:
1. Connect your computer to the Virgin Broadband Modem using the supplied Ethernet cable or
your computer’s Wireless Network Adaptor. See Confi guring Your Home Network.
2. Check that the connection status on the Modem’s Main Display Panel says “Connected”. If it
doesn’t, press the Connect Button on the top right of the Modem to connect.
3. Open your Internet web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). You should be online and ready to surf
the web! See Your First Time Online on page 23.
CONFIGURING YOUR HOME NETWORK
We recommend you do your fi rst time setup using the Ethernet cable. Remember, the WiFi is turned
off by default.
USING THE ETHERNET CABLE
1. Plug the supplied Ethernet cable into your computer and then into your Virgin Broadband
Modem if you have not already done so.
2. Open your Internet browser and try to access the Management Console on the Virgin Broadband
Modem by typing http://192.168.1.1 in your Internet browser.
You should see the Welcome to Virgin Broadband page and then be able to continue with the Quick
Setup Wizard.
