No edit summary
 
After this process has completed you should be able to log into the main web interface at the same http://192.168.1.1 address. The default username and password are "admin" and "admin".
 
===Why do I need to connect a cable directly?===
The CFE bootloader does not initialise Ethernet with a MAC address, so the device thinks it has the MAC address <tt>00:00:00:00:00:00</tt>.
 
Packets with this source MAC address will be dropped by:
* Network switches
* Any 802.1D bridges on your computer
 
This will make it impossible to communicate with the modem.
