How to access SmartNID settings

Follow the steps below to open and sign in to the secure site.

Tips for signing in

1. You must be connected to your Quantum Fiber network to access the site. The settings site will not load on another network.


2. Your browser may flag the settings URL as a security risk because it starts with http (not https). Rest assured, it is safe and you can proceed through the warning.

1.  On a computer or tablet that is connected to your Quantum Fiber network, open a web browser and type http://192.168.0.1 into the address bar.

Entering the URL for the modem settings interface

2.  Sign in to the settings site with your Admin Username and Password. These are printed on the sticker found on the side of your SmartNID. These are different from the WiFi network name (SSID) and password (key).

The modem status area shows options to check your network connections, devices, and functions:

  • Connection status
  • WAN status
  • Internet status
  • Ethernet status
  • Firewall status
  • Device table
  • NAT table
  • Routing table

Quick Setup provides a place to enter setup credentials, if needed, when first installing and activating your modem. The PPP username and password are needed to connect to the Quantum Fiber network and get internet access. In many cases, these are preset before you receive your modem. If you are resetting a modem or need to reenter these for any reason, you can chat with our support agents for help.

The utilities are tools that help you manage and test your equipment.
