I read a article that said you should change your modem password for security reasons. OK, I am no computer guru so I went and searched to find out how. Read how and got the IP address. All of the tutorials say to type it in a browser search bar, which I did. It found over 3 million plus matches on the internet with that number, most saying it is used by routers or give the default password/ usernames for that IP (which I already knew). So what do I do, step through all 3 million hits and look for something useful? I tried looking using just the IP numbers and then putting HTTP etc. in front of the numbers. Both give the same result.
