Broadband router log in details

[link to this post]

I'm trying to replace a duff Thompson Gateway with another unused one on a business account.

Unfortunately the account holder can't remember the Password. We have looked in the Member Centre, but unfortunately the information isn't there. Is there a way of requesting a reminder via email?

It's likely to be one that would be printed on the router? if it's been changed and you can't remember it then all you can do is factory reset the router and then change it when you are in again.

Assuming you are asking connection to Plusnet not wifi - I believe it is [email protected] where "yourusername" is the same as the member centre and you use the same password as member centre (which is what mine is set for)

Thanks for your reply. It's the DSL password I'm looking for. There are four numbers printed on the back of the router.

Serial number, Bulk number, MAC number and Access Key. Could it be one of those?

Thanks Ken. That seems to have cleared it up. The member centre password should work. I'll try again tomorrow.

Ah right sorry for the confusion.

Yes it's the member centre password.

No probs. The password to log into the router interface is the serial number. The Member Centre password worked fine the internet is now up and running. smile

Have you now changed the password to the router interface? If not then I would highly recommend changing it to something else - don't want those pesky hackers having an easy time of things.

I actually looked to do that. But couldn't find how to blush

It would be very hard for them to know the password on the router - so you don't have to change it - a hacker will hack whatever the password is anyway.

I think the physical password is the most secure.
