How to log into the modem's web interface

Open a browser and go to http://192.168.1.254/ (or http://10.0.0.138)

Log in using your credentials. If you're on Infinitum (Telmex) the default user is TELMEX and the password is the default Wi-Fi password, also written on a sticker on the modem.

Otherwise, the default user is Administrator and the password is blank (i.e. no password).

Log into the modem's web interface.

On the sidebar, click on "Home Network".

On the sidebar, under "Home Network", click on "Interfaces".

Click on "Wireless Interface".

On the top right corner, click on "Configure".

Under "Configuration", enter a new network name/SSID on the form.

Click on the "Apply" button

How to change default DNS

Ensure Telnet is enabled.

Connect via Telnet: telnet 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138

Log in using your credentials (same as the web interface's).

To list out the current DNS servers enter: dns server forward list

To delete the current DNS servers enter: dns server forward flush

List out the DNS servers again to confirm they were correctly removed.

To set the primary DNS server enter (replace 0.0.0.0):

dns server forward dnsset add set=0 dns=0.0.0.0 label=None metric=10 intf=Internet owner=PPP

To set the secondary DNS server enter the previous command, updating the address.

To save the changes enter: saveall

To exit enter: exit

To verify the changes, log into the modem's web interface.

Under "Broadband Connection", click on "Internet".
