In order to configure these routers and modems, they require admin access to the configuration panel/page.
The admin configuration page is basically a simple web page that connects directly with your router, network channel, and the system (via web browser). You can access the AT&T Router Login page using 192.168.1.254 or by clicking on http://192.168.1.254. However, it is only possible to connect to this page when your device is connected to the network via a wired connection or by a wireless connection.
