Changing Modem Settings
If you'd like to customise the WiFi name (SSID) or password, you'll need to log into the modem configuration tool. There are many settings that can be changed, so be careful not to change anything not related to WiFi.
THIS SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY ADVANCED USERS.
Do not change any settings relating to DSL or Internet. Doing so could knock you offline, requiring a reset and a call to our support team.
