Access Device Remotely

Once Remote Config Management is enabled, the Web Manager of the ARRIS Wi-Fi device can be accessed by a client device from a remote location. In order to use Remote Config Management, it is required to use the WAN IP address of the ARRIS Wi-Fi device.

Tap the SURFboard icon. The Login screen will appear.
On the Login screen, enter admin in the Username field and password in the Password field.

NOTE: If the default login credentials were previously changed please enter custom credentials. If the customized login credentials are forgotten a factory reset must be performed by pressing the reset button for more than 10 seconds on the SURFboard Wi-Fi product. This will erase all customized settings and reset to the original factory default settings.
Tap the Login button. The ARRIS home screen will appear.
Tap the Menu icon on the top-left corner. The sliding menu will appear.
On the SURFboard Home screen, under Devices, tap the ARRIS gateway. The Wireless Gateway Details screen will appear.
On the Wireless Gateway Details screen, scroll down and tap the Show More link.
