Megacable modem login allows you to access your router’s administration page. When you log in at http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1, you can change the SSID name, WiFi, and other router default settings.
How to Login to Megacable Modem
When you first acquire your router, you need to log in and configure its settings. Do not worry because the process is not as challenging as it may seem. You only have to take these few steps:
Step 1: Connect your Device to the Router
You cannot log in to your router settings if your device is not connected to the router. Connect the ethernet cable from the device’s ethernet port to the router’s LAN port. If you use a wireless network, make sure the WiFi is within a good range and provides a stable signal.
Step 2: Open your Browser
On your browser’s address bar, type 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, double-check that it is typed correctly, and hit Enter. If you face issues with the browser, you can switch between popular browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
Step 3: Enter your Username and Password
When you are taken to the login page, you need to enter your username and password. If you haven’t changed them in the past, you can use the default login details on the back of your router. But if you have done changing already, you can use your new credentials.
Step 4: You will be Logged in to the Admin Page
Once you have never had any issues on the login page, you will be taken to the admin page. You can now set up your wireless router according to your needs and what you think can enhance and protect your WiFi network.
Note: You can apply the login steps above with the ZTE Megacable Fibra.

How to Reset Your Megacable Modem
To reset your router you only have to follow the steps below:
- Turn your modem over, find its small button which is used to reset the modem which is in this case a model TG862 modem.
- Ensure the modem you are about to install and use is plugged on, and all the modem lights are lit.
- With the toothpick or any other small object, locate and depress the reset button on the modem for a period of 30 seconds while plugged in.
- At this instant do not release the reset button and unplug the modem from the power supply. Then continue to hold the button for 1 more minute and a half.
- Then plug-in the modem back into power and without removing the button wait for 30 seconds more with the button held down.
- Remove the reset button after 30 seconds, wait 30 seconds, press and hold the reset button again for 30 seconds.
Note: This operation guarantees that this reset process is carried out carefully and removes the additional power storage of the modem. If you do it otherwise, the modem most likely won’t reset totally.
Login Issues and Solutions with Megacable Modem
Below are the most common problems faced by users when logging in to Megacable modems and how to fix them:
The modem login page is not loaded.
A login page normally reached by IP addresses like 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 can be inaccessible or can load, but an error occurs. In this case, check to make sure that you are connected to the modem with the help of a WiFi or Ethernet cord. If nothing works, try restarting the modem and your computer as well.
Forgotten the password after changing it.
If the administrator password is changed and the password is not remembered any more, access to the modem will be impossible for the user. In order to do this, press the reset button of the modem for 10-15 seconds and wait for the power light to come on. This will erase many settings, including the login details for the modem.
IP Address Conflict
An IP address conflict limits one from accessing the modem login page. To do this, make sure that your device obtains the IP address on its own. Turn on your modem and your device so as to update the settings of the network, or manually use a modem IP address for the device.
Network Connection Issues
Likewise, if the device is not connected properly to the modem, the login page will be inaccessible to the device. Make sure that your device has been connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot of the modem or the ethernet cable provided. Check if the modem is adequately powered and the illumination lights and other indicators are functioning, then power on the modem when need be.
Browser Compatibility Issues
Opera is one of the browsers that, for some reason, cannot be used on the modem login page. In this situation, change the browser to Chrome, Firefox, or Edge and clean the browser history so that the wrong usage does not persist.
Following these solutions, you should be able to clear many login problems regarding the Megacable modem. Where it does not help, and the hurdles remain, it would be wise to contact Megacable support.
