WAN settings allow you to change the protocol and addressing type required by CenturyLink for internet access.
Do not change these modem settings unless instructed by a CenturyLink technician or working with an IT professional.
Note: Your modem settings may appear slightly different from the images below, but the steps will be the same.
These instructions are for newer CenturyLink modems. If you have an older modem, follow these instructions.
There are a few types that can be set up, but all configuration types will begin with the same 5 steps below.
1. Connect a device to your network over WiFi or using an Ethernet cable connected to your modem. This works best on a tablet or computer.
2. Open a web browser and type http://192.168.0.1 into the web address field.
3. Sign in to the modem settings (GUI) using your Admin Username and Admin Password, printed on the sticker.
4. Select Advanced Setup in the main menu.
5. Select WAN Settings in the left sidebar. This menu option may appear beneath the WAN Settings section, or the IP Addressing section, depending on your modem model.
