In order to login to the Router, you need to find its IP Address, which could be its default IP Address as assigned by the manufacturer or New IP Address assigned by the Internet service provider.
If your combined Router/Modem unit was setup by the ISP (Internet service provider), the IP Address of the Router should be available on a sticker attached to bottom of the unit.
If the sticker is missing or if the IP Address was changed and forgotten, you can still find the current IP Address of the Router by using a Windows computer or MacBook.
