🚀 How to set up your router to work on Atomic #
Welcome aboard… almost.
Before we start please note:
On Octotel, Frogfoot and Vumatel we use DHCP/Dynamic IP
On Openserve we have to use PPPoE
⚙️ Get your router set up for Atomic: #
- Your router’s WAN (or Internet) settings needs to be set to:
- For Octotel, Frogfoot, Vumatel fibre: DHCP or Dynamic IP. Different router manufacturers use different terms so look out for the appropriate setting that looks right. If you know how to log into your router and it’s set to PPPoE, that’s the place to change it.
- For Openserve Fibre: Openserve uses PPPoE. We will supply you with new PPPoE login details when you join Atomic. Set the MTU to 1492 (or leave MTU on auto).
- You might also need to restart the ONT and Router.
- Please ensure you plug the Ethernet cable from the fibre box (ONT/CPE) into the WAN port of your router (normally a different colour to the LAN ports).
⚠️ Do not connect the fibre box to your router’s LAN ports!
🎛️ How to log into your router: #
Connect to your router’s WiFi network or plug into your router directly using an Ethernet cable.
Depending on the make and model of your router, you will then need to log in to the router. For your convenience, we have put together a list of common router vendors with their default usernames and passwords.
