What firmware is running?
There are two ways to read the modem’s firmware version:
Recommended method: Launch the EasyConfigurator application that will test your Internet connection and display the current firmware.
Additional option: Access the modem’s Web User Interface at IP address 192.168.1.1 (your computer should have received an address from the router’s DHCP or statically set to an address with the 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.253 range; see the User Guide for details on using the Web User Interface). Once your computer address is confirmed to be of a correct range, launch a Web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 in the address field. When prompted, enter admin for the username and admin for the password. If you have changed the username and password of the modem, enter those values now. When the modem’s Web User Interface menus are visible, click Device Configuration from the menu bar and the cooresponding firmware version will be displayed.
Example: Release 1.1 of the firmware should be displayed as 1248_041604-2.14L.01A.a2a013b. This indicates that your firmware version is that of April 16th, 2004.
