10.0.0.1

10.0.0.1 is a private IPv4 address. It is reserved for local networks. Many routers, such as Comcast/Xfinity and LPB Piso WiFi, set it as the default gateway. Private IP addresses, such as 10.0.0.1, are unique within a network. They let users access their router’s admin panel. Users can change settings like Wi-Fi passwords, SSID names, guest networks, and security protocols from there.

This IP address is often mistaken for 10.0.0.0.1. But that address is invalid. It will send users to a search engine. Always double-check the IP format to avoid errors.

How to Log In to 10.0.0.1 Admin Panel

Step 1: Confirm Your Router’s Default Gateway

Before attempting to log in, ensure your router uses 10.0.0.1 as its default gateway. Here’s how:

1. Windows: Open Command Prompt > Type ipconfig > Check “Default Gateway.”
2. Mac: Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP.

If the gateway isn’t 10.0.0.1, try alternatives like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.

Step 2: Access the Login Page

1. Open a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
2. Type http://10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 in the address bar.
3. Press Enter to load the router’s login page.

Step 3: Enter Default Username and Password

Most routers come with pre-configured credentials. Below are common defaults:

Router Brand	Username	Password
Xfinity/Comcast	admin	password
LPB Piso WiFi	admin/administrator	123456789, admin1234

Note: Always change default credentials after setup to prevent unauthorized access.

Step 4: Configure Router Settings

Once logged in, you can:

• Change Wi-Fi password and SSID.
• Set up a guest network.
• Update firmware for security.
• Manage connected devices.
