About Fido
Fido, part of Rogers, supplies a cable modem with its home internet plans.
Reaching the login page
The admin page on most Fido units answers at http://192.168.0.1. If that address does not load, the router is whatever your computer lists as its default gateway — ipconfig on Windows or ipconfig getoption en0 router on a Mac will tell you.
The username is cusadmin and the password is the Wi-Fi password you created when you set the modem up. Your browser will warn about the certificate on https://192.168.0.1.
If the Fido password has already been changed
Hold a paperclip in the small hole on the back for 10 seconds. The Wi-Fi names and passwords go back to those printed on the label, and you set the modem up again.
The catch with an ISP-supplied unit is that a reset also clears the broadband credentials, and on some lines the router will not reconnect until those are re-entered. Find them before you press anything, or be ready to ring the provider.
