Gateway

by kiawin

Update (2017-02-20): New thomson gateway provided by Maxis uses Serial Number
as password instead of Access Key. Thanks to Thomas for the information.

Update (2015-08-22): Official Guide from Maxis can be downloaded here

The funny part about the Thomson gateway provided by Maxis is that you will be able to auto
login to Thomson Gateway Web Interface without any password asked. Adding salt to the
wound, MaxisBB account has a default password of null. Null in terms of zero password. So the
first important thing is to ensure your Thomson Gateway is password protected. The following
guide will enable you to change your administrator password too as the default password aint
brain-friendly :)

1. Use your favourite browser and point to http://192.168.1.254 or alternatively

http://dsldevice.lan.
2. On top right corner, click MaxisBB.
3. A window popup to ask you to pick a task click Change password.
4. Leave Old Password blank, while fill up the later two New Password and Confirm
New Password with your favourite brain-friendly password.

After you click the Change Password button, high chances your session will expire. Worry not,
lets continue and change the Administrator accounts password.

5. Use your favourite browser and point to http://192.168.1.254 or alternatively

http://dsldevice.lan
6. On top right corner, click MaxisBB.
7. A window popup to ask you to pick a task click Switch to another user.
8. The login page will ask you to insert username and password. Put Administrator as your
username and password is the Access Key Serial Number which can be found at the bottom
of your Thomson Gateway. Beware, both are case sensitive.
5. After login, the popup window will be closed. Youll be redirected to the main page.
6. On top right corner, click Administrator.
7. A window popup to ask you to pick a task click Change password.
8. Key in the Access Key used just now for Old Password, while fill up the later two New
Password and Confirm New Password with your favourite brain-friendly password.
