DSL modems contain a computer comparable to a desktop or laptop computer running a UNIX operating system. For the purposes of configuring it, there are several ways to communicate with that computer, but the easiest way is to use a web browser.
Open a web browser on any computer connected by ethernet or wireless to your DSL modem. Type in the address bar of your browser:
- http://dsldevice.lan (SpeedTouch)
- or http://192.168.1.254 (SpeedTouch)
- or http://192.168.1.1 (TP-Link)
and press Enter. It seems like you are asking for a page from an internet website, but actually that is the address of your DSL modem, and it will present its interface, which looks like a web page.
If you are prompted for a Username and Password, enter:
- Username: "Administrator" (SpeedTouch), "admin" (TP-Link)
- Password: (enter here the password provided to you by NCF for your modem)
If the modem was pre-configured by NCF, the password is provided to you on a piece of paper with your modem package; it is not the same as your NCF StartPage password. If your modem was not pre-configured by NCF, try entering the default password or blank.
Once logged in, the modem will display the web interface page and allow you to configure it and make changes.
