2Wire made DSL gateways for AT&T (U-verse and DSL), BT, Telmex, SBC, Qwest and other phone companies. Common models are the 2701HG, 2700HG, 3600HGV, 3800HGV and 3801HGV. 2Wire was bought by Pace, and later by Arris, so newer models carry those names: the Pace 5268AC, 3800HGV-B, 3801HGV and 5031NV for AT&T work the same way and are covered here.

Default 2Wire Login Details
Most 2Wire routers are at http://192.168.1.254 (or gateway.2wire.net). The status pages open without a password. See the 2Wire passwords and 2Wire IP address pages.
The menu is across the top: Summary, Broadband Link, Home Network, Firewall and System (or Settings on U-verse models).
Most 2Wire devices are supplied by an Internet provider, so some settings may be locked, and a factory reset can remove the ISP's settings.
Note: these 2Wire models no longer get firmware updates. Set a strong admin password, use WPA2 WiFi, and think about replacing very old units.
