Manage the Ethernet Ports of the LAN Switch
For devices that connect to the cable data gateway over an Ethernet cable, the cable data
gateway provides access to the LAN through a built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet switch.

connected device.

Manage Network Time Protocol
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol that synchronizes clocks between
computer systems over data networks. The cable data gateway includes a real-time clock
(RTC), which it uses for scheduling. The cable data gateway regularly updates its RTC by
contacting one of the three NTP servers.
To manage NTP and NTP servers:
1.
On your computer, launch an Internet browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
2.
In the address field of your browser, enter
http://routerlogin.net
