Strengthening your Actiontec MI424WR router password
- To log into the Actiontec MI424WR router, open up a Web browser window (using Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) on a computer that is connected to your local network and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the Address field of the browser.
- If this is the first time accessing the router, you will be asked to establish a new password. By default, "admin" displays in the User Name field; however, you can change this to the user name of your choice.
- Enter a strong password in the New Password field. Your password must be 6 or more characters long and contain at least 1 numeral. As you enter your password, asterisks (*) will display for security purposes. Retype the new password where shown.
- Important: Write down your new user name and password and store them in a safe place. You will need them to create a home network, change your password in the future, or make any changes to your router settings.
- Select your time zone in the Time Zone field and click OK.
- Click Log out in the Quick Links section of the main Actiontec MI424WR configuration screen. Now that you have set up a new strong password for the router, you can return to using your FiOS Internet service.
