The modem router is preset with a default LAN IP 192.168.1.1, which you can use to log
in to its web management page. The LAN IP address together with the Subnet Mask
also defines the subnet that the connected devices are on. If the IP address conflicts
with another device in your local network or your network requires a specific IP subnet,
you can change it.
Follow the steps below to change your IP address.
