Change modem from Bridge to Router

The SmartAX MT880 is a Router and does not require drivers to access.

Access to the Router can be done by type the I.P address of the Router in a browser e.g Internet Explore

To find the I.P address of the Router.

From a Windows PC connected to the SmartAX MT880 via a network cable,
Click the Start Menu, Click Run (On Vista and 7 you can type run in the search bar)

From with-in Run, Type cmd, Click Ok
Once the Command prompt windows appears, type Ipconfig /all with the window.

From the list of information find the line called Default Gateway (most like under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection) a example is provide below.


Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.13
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

In this example the I.P address of the router is 192.168.1.1.

Try these steps:

1. Shut down the DSL/Cable modem

1. Power up the router (no cables just yet).

1. Power up the modem and wait for the appropriate lights (power, ethernet, and activity – something along these lines)

1. Connect the modem and router with an ethernet cable (if there is a WAN port on the router make sure to put the cable in this port).

1. Connect Port 1 on the router to the network card on the computer using an ethernet cable and check to see there is a light at the correct port.

1. Open a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. Input your routers id (usually an IP address or an URL) in the browsers address bar and press Enter. The address bar is where you would normally see, for example, http://www.google.ca If you don't know the IP address (such as 192.168.1.1) or the URL, try going to the manufacturers web site and downloading a manual.

1. Now, a window will open asking for a user name and password (these are given to you in the instructions of the router). For example, Dlink sets up some of their routers as, username: admin and leave the password field blank then press OK.

1. Now you are in the configuration page of your router (wireless most probably). Here you can set the encryption, new passwords etc… If your not comfortable doing these on your own most routers have a wizard that you can follow.

1. If everything goes alright and the settings are successful you can now try the wireless connection. Go to a machine with a wireless card, right

1. At the computer with the wireless connection, make sure the connection is on You might be trying to connect to the network by using either the application that came with the router or windows wireless configuration. Right click the icon in the system tray and “view available networks”. If it comes up in a window saying “Windows is not setup for wireless networks” then you must right click on the correct icon in the tray.
2. Now, in the list of available networks, click on the name of your network Click on "connect" and it should ask for your security id (the encryption code). Put in the code (usually twice) and click connect or OK. It should now be "acquiring anip address" and in a few minutes it should be connected.

There is no default username or password to access the Vigor routers. Reset the router to clear any previous settings from its memory. Default IP Address is http://192.168.1.1 Manuals and firmware is available from the device maker.

Hello, Good question..Phone line to DSL modem, Ethernet cable to WAN port on Router. If connecting a PC wired to Router, connect Ethernet cable from 1 of 4 LAN ports on Back of router to ethernet port on PC. This would be Physical connection...
It's always smart to set a restore point in case something goes wrong during installation of any program. For wireless connection from laptop or PC: install router software on computer. Reboot computer. In browser address bar enter 192.168.1.1. This brings up a window for user name and password. Enter "admin" for both. This allows you to change many settings including Changing SSID(Router Name), User name and password. Enabling WEP or WPA security. Hope this Helps, Good Luck..!!

Hi there!

I'll try and help you out with this but I need to ask you these:

1. Is the firmware of the MT880 compatible with the MT882? Have you checked their website for the correct firmware for the MT882?
2. Do you know how to access the routers web ui? If Yes, then try to go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade

Hope this helps!
