10.0.0.1: Router Admin Login | Troubleshooting Guide

Learn what 10.0.0.1 is used for, how to reach the router login page at this address, and what to do when it does not respond.

What Is 10.0.0.1?

10.0.0.1 is a private IPv4 address from the 10.0.0.0/8 range. It is commonly used as a default gateway on home and small‑business routers, especially from cable providers. Because it is private, you can only reach 10.0.0.1 from inside your local network.

If your device is assigned an address like 10.0.0.23 with a subnet mask such as 255.255.255.0, chances are high that 10.0.0.1 is your router’s local IP address.

How to Log Into a Router at 10.0.0.1

To open the router login page, connect to the network via Ethernet or Wi‑Fi, then type http://10.0.0.1 into your browser’s address bar. If everything is configured correctly, you should see a login prompt or setup wizard.

Default usernames and passwords vary by manufacturer, but common pairs include “admin/admin” or “admin/password.” Look for a label on the router or in your ISP documentation. After the first login, change the password to a strong, unique one so that neighbors or visitors cannot tamper with your settings.
