Hello everyone; I'm hoping that someone in this community might be able to help me out. My problem: I'm unable to login to the HELIX Gateway using the default credentials. I have tried: Username: admin / Password: password Username: admin / Password: the password under the HELIX terminal I have looked up the vendor's model with all sorts of default username/password combinations. It simply does not work! I want to be able to login to http://10.0.0.1 to have full control of my network, for example: I want to enable MAC filtering I want to fix my VPN problem I'm really frustrated with the service I received during the installation of my HELIX service about a month ago. The technician completely ignored my request about logging into the HELIX Gateway. He said "you don't need that, just use the HELIX Fi app on your phone". I'm sorry but that's not good enough! I'm paying enough money to have this service. I have called Videotron about my issue. They said the only real fix is to reset the gateway to its factory settings. However, this really scares me. What guarantee do I have that it's going to work properly? I'm worried about reconnecting all the devices in my network. I'm even more worried that perhaps my HELIX Gateway is faulty. I would really like to hear from you guys and girls out there. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Can anyone provide me with the exact steps to reset my gateway to its factory settings? I would really appreciate your help and feedback. Thank you all.38KViews0likes2CommentsDevices cannot connect to Helix
I have a couple of devices (for example, an LG tablet and a PS Vita) that try to connect to my Helix network but are unable to - and it appears that it's the router that's not allowing the connection. Why would this be? Any suggestions to force the connection?Solved17KViews0likes9CommentsHelix Modem/Router Making a Constant Humming Noise
I have just switched to Helix Internet service since last week. I have notriced the Helix modem/router makes a constant humming sound. It isn't loud but since the room is always quiet, it is easily heard. It's annoying since it never ends and has a bit of high pitch into it. I am wondering if your modem/router also makes this noise or perhaps my device is faulty? I appreciate your repsonse. Thank you.Solved15KViews2likes11CommentsLooking to leave Videotron, can I use my Helix 2 Borne as a router with another company's modem
I can't find any mentions of this anywhere... How am I able to set up my helix 2 borne as a router only? I know about bridge mode but that is if I want to use another router and use the helix 2 as a modem. If I leave Vidéotron will the modem portion of the router stop working as the service is cancelled and the router will keep working? or will the whole thing not work as I am no longer with Vidéotron? Thank youSolved11KViews0likes7CommentsChannel surfing with Helix A must!
Hello, I know im not the first to complain but It cant hurt to keep this alive! I contacted support at least 4 months ago regarding this issue and still , nothing has been done. How can you sell a television system that doesn not allow you to surf your own channels???!!! Im getting tierd of using the guide to look for something to watch. I wish I took advantage of the 30day money back program cause now im stuck with 500$ worth of useless outside of a videotron environment equipment, non VPN router, and 2 tv terminals. On a side note, can you use this equipment for anything, like the tv terminals seem to be a raspberry Pi type system, can I format them and use them to my liking? And the router.. is that useable as a router off the videotron network?Solved9.9KViews2likes10CommentsTechnical questions about moving to Helix
I've been considering moving to Helix and have a few questions: - I have Videotron phone service through my Arris TM822 Cable modem - does the Helix unit have a battery backup as well for phone service? - I would like to put the Helix gateway in Bridge mode as I have a high end commercial grade router and wifi setup; does the Helix gateway provide a true public IP address in bridge mode or is giving out a private RFC1918 IP address? I would like to avoid double NATting. - In Bridge mode, is native IPv6 available? - If the technician were to give me the equipment to install myself and replace my TM822, would they also provide the security socket removal tool to remove the security sleeve from the coax? - Are the security sleeves still required with phone service? - I currently have 60/10 with my TM822 modem; would it be possible to upgrade to the 100mb Helix plan with my current equipment? - What is the current upload speed offered with the 100mb Helix plan? It is not listed on the website! Thanks!Solved9.5KViews1like5CommentsHow many devices Helix Internet allows connected at the same time?
