Default Password for Motorola Netopia 3000 DSL modem/ wireless router

A recent frustration involved a DSL/wireless installation for a non-profit. I was running out of battery on my laptop trying to configure the wireless router settings for their new Motorola 3000/ Netopia 3347 ASDL modem and wireless router.

Every document I read said that the default username and password were "admin" and the serial ID of the device.

Actually, the default password is the Security ID of the device, printed on a separate yellow sticker on the bottom of the device.

  1. I have encountered a similar problem, but the yellow sticker is not present on my netopia.

  3. Worked great for me. Had to be connected via an ethernet cable though.
