An administrator can change the settings and set the parameters of his/her own choices. It will be the priority and privacy of a user to change IP address10.0.0.1 password and username for routers. You can also leave the default username and password for your devices.

What do you understand by IP address 10.0.0.1 password and username for routers?

10.0.0.1 is the IP (Internet Protocol) address for some types of routers, and it is set by the manufacturers. The other routers have 192.168.*.* IP address, and any user can put their secret set of numbers in replace of ‘*’ sign.

IP address 10.0.0.1 is primarily usedfor business processes. The routers and modems are well set to this private IP address to access the internet services via LAN or wireless system. It is possible to change 10.0.0.1 password,but it is not needed at all.

Suppose you have two routers connected to the same network then you have to change username and password. It will help you to be protected from any IP conflict problems within the same network.

How to protect your router’s username and password?

A user should know that 10.*.*.* address is the series of default IP addresses for many routers where 10.0.0.1 is a class A type address. The 10.0.0.1 address has 255.0.0.0 default subnet mask.

The best thing is that 10.0.0.1 can be repeated in different networks. It unfolds the possibility of using same IP address in different networks without any problems. Thus, the private IP address should be unique fromnetwork to network while public IP address requires unique IP address on the same networking device.

The manufacturers have set default password and username on each router. It is used by the end-user to access the control of the device through web browsers. A user can change the control setting, username and password for their own purposes. You should remember the router’s username and password to check any networking issues. That’s why to protect and keep router’slogin password and username safe; it should remain unchanged. An administrator is able to authenticate the user to use the internet services and disallows any unauthorized changes.

If you forget the 10.0.0.1 password, then you can check the user manual guide to find authentication steps. Sometimes people change the password and forget then you need technical help team to assist and support you.

How can users reach the technical team?

A user should know that a router company has provided some contact details in the manual book. You can call or email them for any help. Another way is to search for local technical experts to help you out. Otherwise, you can do these following steps:

·         You can reset the device to get back into default mode.

·         Switch on the router.

·         Press and hold reset button.

·         Device will reboot and configure to default settings of username and password.

Make sure that IP address 10.0.0.1 password and username has beenset to defaultthrough a web browser. If you further change the password, then note it down and keep it in a safe place.
