10.0.0.1 is an IP address in the private class that is used to access the Router’s Admin Panel. It is set by default by the router manufacturer, and you must login to the Admin Panel to change router settings such as WiFi Password and Name (SSID).
You can access the router’s settings by logging in to 10.0.0.1 with the default username and password. Logging in is a simple process, and you only need to be connected to the router to access the settings. To access 10.0.0.1, follow this quick guide.
A login page for the manufacturer of your router will appear. Enter your default username and password.
Note– This username and password are not the same as the username and password for your WiFi network. If you haven’t already changed it, the default is:
4. If the provided username and password are correct, you will be logged into your router’s Admin Panel.
Note– For security reasons, it is recommended that you change your default password the first time you log in to your router settings page. If you leave your wireless network unprotected, others may gain access to it and obtain sensitive information such as your passwords and credit card numbers.
If you are having issues to access 10.0.0.1 then it may be that:
1. Because your router or device’s default gateway address is not 10.0.0.1, the browser cannot find the Admin Panel at 10.0.0.1. Determine the correct gateway address and retry.
2. You are not entering the correct IP address into the browser’s URL bar. Users may type www.10.0.0.1.com, add https:// at the beginning, or mistype “0” (zero) for “O” or 10.0.0.0.1, which is an invalid address because a gateway IP address contains four decimal numbers that are represented in dot-decimal notation and here it is of five values, preventing access to the Admin Panel.
3. The most common way to fix is to restart your WiFi network and router. Allow several minutes before reconnecting to your network.
4. Check that you can access other websites; if your ISP’s network goes down during peak hours, you may run into this problem.
5. Remove the cache and cookies that your browser stores locally on your device.
6. If you made a mistake during your previous session, you can reset your gateway to its factory default settings. To restore your router’s default settings, unplug it and press the small “reset” button on the back of it for about 10 seconds. When the lights on the front of the router begin to blink, the modem has been successfully reset. Note- If all other methods have failed, try a factory reset. This is not the same as a “restart” because it will revert all of your manual settings such as your SSID (network name), password, guest networks, and MAC filtration.
It is not necessary to have any special technical knowledge to get your router up and running. You can set up a wireless network in your home or office by following these simple steps:
Follow these steps
Begin by taking it out of the box. Examine the label on the device’s bottom. You will see the 10.0.0.1 IP address as well as the default username and password required to complete the setup.
Connect the router and turn it on.
To test your Internet connection, plug the Ethernet cable into a laptop or computer.
Then connect the Ethernet cable to the router’s Ethernet port. It should be a different colour than the rest of the ports on the device. You should be able to see the network once the Wi-Fi light begins to blink. Its default name will be the router’s make and model.
Accessing the Admin Panel and Adjusting the Basic Setting
Launch Chrome, Mozilla, Safari, or your preferred web browser. In the address bar, type 10.0.0.1 and press enter. You will be directed to your router’s admin panel login page. To access the menu, enter the username and password from the label at the bottom of the device.
You will be able to change the following basic wireless network settings:
SSID – the name of the network.
The network’s password and encryption
The username and password for the admin panel.
You can even change the 10.0.0.1 private IP address to whatever you want.
