Hi Everyone,
I thought I would post this as I couldn't find the information myself. I recently go the 5g Outdoor Hub it's awesome its easy to use and its stable. The issue I had was getting on my three app as I didn't have a phone number and I couldn't access the router admin page to retrieve SMS. Normally I would go to 192.168.0.1 to access this but every time I did the page would redirect to greenpacketdevice.com and my browser blocked it. I believe this is actually a very good security feature. So let me give you step-by-step details on how to access the router's admin page and view your messages. if anyone has a better way please feel free to comment.
You will need a laptop with a wired ethernet port:
1. disconnect the eero mesh hub from the POE port (The little white box that is connected to the one outside)
2. connect your laptop directly to the POE port ( simply take the cable out of the eero box and put it in your laptop)
3. Open your browser enter 192.168.0.1 or greenpacketdevice.com/#/login
4. You will be asked to change your password (make sure it is unique, NOT the same as your wifi password and keep a record of it somewhere safe)
5. When the password has changed close your browser.
6. Re-open the browser and go back to greenpacketdevice.com/#/login or 192.168.0.1
7. Enter the username : user
8. Enter the password you just created.
9. Click log in
10. you can now navigate to the SMS section and retrieve your messages there will be at least 3 messages two of the are OTA settings and will look garbled and corrupt just delete them, one will have your mobile number associated with your SIM card. When you register on My3 you will need That mobile number your current email address and the one time password that will be sent to your broadband sim card. so make sure you get that before you plug your eero back in.
This is not a process for easy use, I've been in the mobile industry for over 30 years and it took some very deep thinking to work this out. Maybe there is an easier way if there is please let me know.
I hope this helps someone.
