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:

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
  • 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.
