To enter the web admin for your 585 wireless router, open a browser window (Internet explorer or equivalent) and type 192.168.1.254 into the address bar or click here.

This will open the Speedtouch web admin screen. If this screen does not open then you do not have an active connection to the router. If you are running in wired mode, ensure your Ethernet cable is connected to port 1 on the router. If you are running on a wireless connection, double check your wireless connection is connecting correctly, to prove the router is operational try connecting via a wired connection with the supplied RJ45 lead.

If you are prompted for a Username and Password to login to the router and you do not know this information please see this answer for guidance.
