Answer | When launched, the ARRIS SURFboard Manager App will prompt for the admin username and password of the supported SURFboard Wi-Fi product. The default username is “admin” and the password is “password” on the SURFboard Wi-Fi product. Changes made in the SURFboard Manger App will automatically be pushed to the SURFboard Wi-Fi product. This document describes how to change the default admin username and password from the ARRIS SURFboard Manager.
NOTE: For network security purposes, ARRIS recommends to change the default admin username and password after logging on for the first time.
