Can't connect to Modem via 192.168.0.1
Hello, Been struggling with this problem since we started service a few months ago. Let me walk through the steps I try to go through to access my WiFi settings and the resulting indications. ...
Extensions or add-ons are little programs or applications that help to customize the browser to your liking. Like an ad blocker or something to change the way new tabs behave when they're opened. In both Chrome and Firefox you'll see them to the right of the URL (web address) body, like so (in the red box)...
I use five different ones. In Chrome you can see the extensions you have installed and enabled by clicking on the three dots to the upper right of the browser page, hovering over More Tools and clicking on Extensions. In Firefox, click on the three lines on the upper right, then click on Add-ons. Disabling them may help to make the Login button work the way it should. Make sure to refresh or restart the browser page after you disable the extensions/add-ons before trying the Login page.
192.168.0.1 is IP for the modem, of which systemcontroller.com is an alias domain.
192.168.42.1 is the IP for the router.
When you log in you're logging into the router's wifi settings and should be using the admin password for it - that's not the same as the password to access the wifi on your device. Unless it's been set by someone, I believe the default admin password for the router is simply 'admin' (no quotes).
I am using the admin password to login. FWIW my desktop is connected to the HT2000W via ethernet cable.
I follow the instructions in the Hughesnet Modem User Guide on "How do I manage my built-in WiFi?"
The problem I have is when I get to step 4 "Click the LOGIN button," nothing happens.
Good morning TawnieHunter,
I'm glad you found the community, thank you for posting. So you're at this screen in the SCC and even using the admin password, clicking the login button doesn't log you into the wifi settings?
If so, please follow these steps to reset your modem:
On the back of the HT2000W (right under the white label), there is a Reset button.
You will need a paper clip (or some thin object to insert in the hole).
Insert the paper clip and press the button one time and release.
Press the WPS button on the front of the HT2000W. (This sends the wireless network password to any connected devices.)
After HT2000W comes back up, try logging in again to the wifi settings with the admin password.Please let me know if you still have concerns.
Thanks,
Liz
Hi Liz,
Thanks for your help.
"So you're at this screen in the SCC and even using the admin password, clicking the login button doesn't log you into the wifi settings? "
Yes, you are correct. However, my instructions say to 1. Type 192.168.0.1. into a web browser...
I just tried to sign in using the instructions you provided. I get nothing.

I tried signing in after running these steps:

Hmm...
Please ensure the cookies and cache are cleared in your browser, then access the SCC via www.systemcontrolcenter.com, and then the wifi settings from there. I've also seen others successfully log in via a different device on the network as well after a modem reset. Please let me know how that goes.
Thanks,
Liz
