hardware mass-issued by isp’s is so widely exploited and documented, you’re really asking for trouble using it for WLAN. To wit: i ordered a new router and modem immediately. immediately turned off WPS and, in what is probably a useless ruse, i renamed the SSID to the 2WIRE default that’s used by AT&T so future would-be “hackers” would have a harder time finding credentials for remote configuration. of course, i immediately used MAC filtering to keep that device out and changed the SSID/Password. I patched in physically to check the settings/status and the first thing i saw was another MAC address! sure enough, in my network folder, there was a cheap burner model smart phone listed. oddly, the SSID was as configured (my own ssid & password, not default). The reason i was looking for root access to my ubee is that i returned home today after having service for about a week to find that my wireless devices were no longer connecting. Username: admin / Password: C0nf1gur3Ubee#įollow-up question: how to change the default login and/or remote configuration access login? what is the port used for remote configuration? 8080?.Username: technician / Password: C0nf1gur3Ubee#.***Update: If the above isn’t working for you on Time Warner Cable, try one of these suggestions from the comments: Hope you enjoyed this simple solution for getting the real administrator access to Time Warner RoadRunner’s Ubee cable modem. Once there, you can change it to Bridge mode, NAT mode, Router mode, or NAT Router mode depending on what you are looking to do with it. One other kinda secret thing to note is that if you do want to change how the router is configured for internet access, you will need to go to on your router to do so. Feel free to change the password while you’re in there to keep the Time Warner folks out. The password for this user is “c0nf1gur3m3”. This is unique to your device, but can be found pretty easily by looking at the user interface that you do have access to. The real administrator username that comes configured on these modems when you get them from Time Warner is the last eight digits of the unit’s MAC address sans the colons separating out the values. To fix this, you just need to know the following secret… What you are not able to do is access the menus where you can change how the router is actually configured for internet access, change the master password, or prevent Time Warner from accessing your modem, and subsequently, your network. Using these credentials, you are able to access the device and many of the features that it has to offer you. When you get the modem installed initially, they give you some default credentials. I’m not even sure if Time Warner is still using these Ubee cable modems for their RoadRunner offering, but I’m sure that there are at least a few people out there who still have them. This post is going to be short and sweet as it’s something I meant to put up here when I found it sometime back in mid-2011.
