Hello everyone, I have an internet hardware question, but I'm not using a Linux machine at the moment, so I'm asking it in this forum.
I finally got fibre internet set up in my apartment, but at the moment I'm using only a Windows 10 laptop until I get everything straightened out. Then, I can put together a new Linux machine and delve back in.
My question is: Is it necessary to change the username and password on the ONT for security?
I've had a terrible time trying to do it. I'm trying to use the browser (Microshaft Edge) to access the webUI, but I can't get anywhere. Every IP address I've tried, in every doc I've found, has said "took too long to respond" or "refused to connect".
The ONT is a Nokia model XS-010X-Q. According to this webpage:
https://hack-gpon.org/xgs/ont-nokia-xs-010x-q/
it says:
IP address192.168.100.1
Web Gui Port 80 user: admin, password: 1234
Telnet Port 23 user: admin, password: 1234 (see Telnet Full Shell)
With a default username "admin", and password "1234", this looks to me like it needs to be changed.
Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is it possible that changing the default username and password on the ONT is unnecessary?
