Before you can get into your new Speedstream 5861 single port modem, you will need to have the computer's ethernet interface to be set up for DHCP, **OR** you will have to set up a static IP address.

Use the following address information if setting up a static IP in the computer's ethernet interface:

IP ADDRESS: 192.168.254.10
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.254.254

PRIMARY DNS: 216.129.224.1
SECONDARY DNS: 216.220.0.1
