I called up Suddenlink and asked about this and I was told that they are not allowed to give me the information to change mine SSID, but that it is possible. Anyone who owns this router knows that the SSID is greyed out. I’ve managed to change it in the past but I recently did a hard reset and now I can’t remember how I did it.
Stage 1: Send Suddenlink their crummy router back and tell them to shove it.
Stage2: Buy a non-Arris router because Arris sucks. :
In all sincerity, I think you’re over complicating objects:
-
Type these IPs into your browser until one works a. 192.168.0.1 (probably this one)
-
b. 192.168.1.11
-
c. 192.168.1.254
-
d. 192.168.2.1
-
When prompted for a username/password try these:
-
a. Admin/Password
-
b. Admin/ leave it blank c. Leave both the username and password blank Change Suddenlink Wifi Password
I own a Belkin, so I can’t test these myself, but google tells me that these are the possible collections.
If none of the above works either Suddenlink or the previous owner of the router set up a password on the admin panel. You MAY be able to change this, by finding a reset button on the router and holding it down for 10-30 seconds. This should return the router to its factory defaults. I don’t know if Arris installs these resets off the top of my head.
Some other tips:
there is probably different user name and password that has admin rights. This does not play like the router I had, but my Suddenlink router had at least two different usernames with different levels of admin ability.
Google your router model +suddenlink username or something of that nature to find likely results.
the following was what worked on mine:
the basic user credentials: username: cusadmin password: password
more benefits: username: mso password: suddenlink
