Got a CSG LTE Gateway like the popular M106 or M519, and now you need to log into the settings page? Here’s how you get full control in no time.
Step 1: Connect to the CSG Router
First, make sure your device (phone or laptop) is connected to the CSG Wi-Fi network—it typically shows up as CSG‑xxxx or CSG‑xxxx‑5G—or plug directly into the router via Ethernet.
Step 2: Open the Router Interface in Your Browser
Once you’re connected, open your browser and type this.
http://192.168.8.1
That’s the default setup gateway for most CSG routers. If it doesn’t load, check that you’re really connected to the router’s network.
Step 3: Enter Your Router Login Details
When the login page appears, enter the credentials:
- Username: root
- Password: last 8 characters of your device Serial Number (printed on the sticker)
The password is case-sensitive, so match it exactly. That combo works for most CSG devices including M106. (192.168.1.1, Pristine Internet)
Step 4: Access Settings & Customize Your Network
Now you’re in the dashboard:
- Change your Wi-Fi name (SSID) or password
- Adjust wireless settings individually for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
- Monitor connected devices
- Enable guest networks
- Manage bandwidth and more (Pristine Internet, Versa Networks)
Once you’re done, make sure to click Apply or Save.
Forgot Your Password? Here’s How to Reset
If entering the credentials fails:
- Locate the reset button (small pinhole at the back).
- Press and hold it for about 10 seconds and let go.
- Router will reboot—restoring defaults.
- After reboot, reconnect and repeat Step 3 with the default password. (modemly, Router Network)
