How to open DVR ports Using a Netopia 3300 Series Modem

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

In this video I am going to show you how to open ports on a Netopia Router, model number 3300.

First we’ll go to Internet Explorer and enter the IP for the router. (The default IP for this router is 192.168.1.254.)  I already changed those; I never keep my default user names and passwords and my IPs on my units on my network devices.  So again the default, right out of the box is 192.168.1.254.  The user name is Admin and the password is underneath the modem so you’ll have to flip the modem over to find the password.  It’s usually on an access code sticker that comes with the modem on the bottom of the unit.  If you cannot access the router you can get that information from AT&T for them to help you otherwise we cannot open the ports if we don’t know the passwords.   Once again the default IP is 192.168.1.254 and the password is going to be underneath the unit.
