Use VPN to Access Your Internet Service at Home
When you’re away from home and you access the Internet, you usually use a local Internet service provider.
For example, at a coffee shop you might be given a code that lets you use the coffee shop’s Internet
service account to surf the web.
Nighthawk lets you use a VPN connection to access your own Internet service when you’re away from
home.You might want to do this if you travel to a geographic location that doesn’t support all the Internet
services that you use at home. For example, your Netflix account might work at home but not in a different
country.
Set Up VPN Client Internet Access in the Router
By default, the router is set up to allow VPN connections only to your home network but you can change
the setting to allow Internet access. Accessing the Internet remotely through a VPN might be slower than
accessing the Internet directly.
To allow VPN clients to use your home Internet service:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type
.
A login window opens.
3.

admin
. The default password is

. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
