The SmartRG SR505N Modem Front
The SmartRG SR505N Modem Back

The SmartRG SR505N is for use any DSL service over Bells' DSL infrastructure. NCF started selling these modems from September 2014 to members.

This is the procedure NCF uses to configure a SmartRG SR505N modem out of the box or after a factory reset. To learn more about configuring your particular modem, consult the manual.

Configure router for Dual Mode ADSL/VDSL operation

Your router can support both ADSL mode and VDSL mode. If necessary, you could switch between ADSL plans and VDSL plans without having to buy a new router or even reconfigure your existing one.

Settings for VDSL

We will start with the mode used for VDSL connections. These include the following NCF DSL Plans:

  • Freedom 10/7, Unlimited
  • Freedom 15/10, Unlimited
  • Freedom 25/10, Unlimited
  • Freedom 50/10, Unlimited

Getting Started

NOTE: If the modem is brand new, "user name: admin and password admin" will gain access. If the modem is not new, it is recommended to reset the modem to the factory defaults by holding down the reset button with a paper clip for ~10 seconds and then do step 1.

1. Once you access the modem browser at 192.168.1.1 and login (user name: admin and password admin), click the link high-lighted in red.

Getting started

Advanced Setup

2. Click on the "Advanced Setup" link on the LH side of the page. Advanced Setup

WAN Service

3. Click on the "WAN Service" link under "Advanced Setup" and then click on the "Edit" link highlighted in red. WAN Service

Username Setup

4. On the 'PPP Username and Password' page, fill the username and password details in the field highlighted in red. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this page checking that "Enable Firewall" and "Enable NAT" are all checked. Click "Next". PPPOE set up File:Smartrg 505n vdsl NAT SIP 005.png

PPPoE config save

Click on "Next"


Click on "Next" Configuring ADSL2+ 10/11


Click on "Apply/Save". PPoE config save




Add Settings for ADSL Mode

Moving on now to add settings for ADSL mode. ADSL plans include the following NCF DSL Plans:

  • Freedom 6/0.8, Unlimited
  • Freedom 7/1, Unlimited
  • Freedom 10/1, Unlimited
  • Freedom 15/1, Unlimited
  1. Click on "Advanced Setup"
  2. Click on "Layer2 Interface"
  3. Click on "ATM Interface"
  4. Click on "Add"

Configuring ADSL2+ 3/11


  1. Ensure that VPI is 0 and that VCI is 35.
  2. Ensure that Fast and Interleaved are selected under DSL Latency.
  3. For everything else, use the defaults.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click "Apply/Save".

Configuring ADSL2+ 4/11

  1. Click "Advanced Setup"
  2. Click "WAN Service"
  3. Click "Add"

Configuring ADSL2+ 5/11

  1. From the drop-down box, select "atm0/(4_0_35)"
  2. Click "Next"

Configuring ADSL2+ 6/11

  1. Ensure "PPPoE" is the active choice.
  2. Ensure "Service description" is as shown.
  3. Click "Next".

Configuring ADSL2+ 7/11

Ensure "Enable Firewall", "Enable NAT" and "Enable SIP" are checked. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Next". Configuring ADSL2+ 8/11

Click on "Next" Configuring ADSL2+ 9/11

Click on "Next" Configuring ADSL2+ 10/11

Click on "Apply/Save" Configuring ADSL2+ 11/11

You are done adding the ADSL settings. Now, skip ahead to Wireless Configuration.

Configure as bridge

Do this only if you prefer to use your own external router rather than the one built into your SmartRG unit.

  1. Connect power and turn on the modem with the button on the back.
  2. Connect an Ethernet LAN cable to one of the yellow rear ports
  3. In the browser's address bar, enter the IP address for the modem interface page: 192.168.1.1
  4. If the modem is fresh from the factory, use the default user name and password to gain access
    1. user: admin
    2. password: admin

If the modem was previously configured for someone, the password would be the previous user's DSL password. If it is unknown then do a reset to factory default, using a paper-clip in the reset hole on the back. Hold for 6 to 9 seconds to reset. The user name and password will now be as above.

  1. Click on Advanced Setup and WAN Service and click on Add
  2. The defaults are fine; click on Next.
  3. Click on Bridging and ensure the 802.1P and 802.1Q are set to 0 and 35, then click on Next.
  4. Click on Apply/Save
  5. Done!
