10.0.1.1
The IP address 10.0.1.1 is a private IP commonly used as the default gateway for routers, particularly Apple AirPort devices and some other brands operating within the 10.x.x.x address space. This guide helps you log in to manage your network.
How to Login to 10.0.1.1
Need to configure your network via 10.0.1.1? This IP address typically serves as the entry point to your router's administrative settings. Accessing it allows you to configure WiFi networks, manage security settings, update firmware, and perform other essential network management tasks.
Routers using the 10.0.1.x subnet, like Apple AirPort base stations, often use 10.0.1.1 as their default management address. Before attempting to log in, ensure your computer or mobile device is connected to the router's network – either wirelessly via WiFi or using an Ethernet cable.
A stable connection is recommended, especially for configuration changes. Use an Ethernet cable if wireless access is problematic. For Apple AirPort devices, configuration is usually done via the AirPort Utility app (on macOS or iOS) rather than a web browser. For other brands using this IP, a standard web browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) is typically used.
Ensure you are disconnected from other networks (like VPNs or mobile data) that might interfere with accessing the local 10.0.1.1 address or associated utility.
- Connect your device (Mac, PC, iPhone, etc.) to the router's network (WiFi or Ethernet)
- For Apple AirPort: Launch the 'AirPort Utility' application.
- For other brands: Open a web browser and type 'http://10.0.1.1' into the address bar, then press Enter.
- If prompted (either by AirPort Utility or the web page), enter the device password (Apple devices often use a single password set during setup; other brands use username/password pairs - check defaults like 'admin'/'admin' or 'admin'/'password').
- Click 'Login', 'Update', or 'OK' to access the settings.
Default username and password for 10.0.1.1
| Router Brand | IP | Username | Password | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cisco | 10.0.1.1 | cisco | cisco | 90% |
| AT&T | 10.0.1.1 | admin | password on device | 92% |
Troubleshooting Issues with 10.0.1.1
If you cannot access settings via 10.0.1.1 or AirPort Utility, try these steps:
- Connection Verification: Confirm your device is actively connected to the correct router network (check WiFi status or Ethernet cable connection).
- IP Address Check: While 10.0.1.1 is common for AirPorts, verify it's the correct address for your specific device or network setup. Check your computer's 'Default Gateway' setting.
- Use AirPort Utility (for Apple): Remember that AirPort base stations are primarily managed via the AirPort Utility app, not a web browser at 10.0.1.1. Ensure the utility is installed and updated.
- Browser Access (for non-Apple): If not an Apple device, ensure you're using 'http://10.0.1.1'. Clear browser cache or try an incognito window.
- VPN/Proxy Disabled: Turn off any VPN software or proxy settings.
- Firewall Check: Ensure no firewall software on your computer is blocking local network communication or the AirPort Utility.
- Router Reboot: Restart your router by unplugging its power cord for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in. Wait for it to fully initialize.
- Factory Reset: If you've forgotten the password or the device is unresponsive, perform a factory reset using the physical reset button (consult device manual for specific procedure). This erases all settings.
Common Misspellings of 10.0.1.1
Be careful when typing the IP address. These are common misspellings that won't work:
l0.0.1.1
1o.0.1.1
10.o.1.1
10.0.l.1
10.0.1.l
l0.o.l.l
1o.o.l.1
1o.0.l.l
Configure your router with 10.0.1.1
After accessing the device configuration (via AirPort Utility or web UI at 10.0.1.1):
- Device/Admin Password: Ensure a strong password is set for accessing the device settings. Change it from the default if applicable.
- Wireless Network Settings: Configure your WiFi network name (SSID) and select strong WPA2 or WPA3 security with a robust password.
- Network Mode: Ensure the router is in the correct mode (e.g., 'Create a wireless network' or 'Bridge Mode' if extending another network).
- Internet Connection: Verify the settings for connecting to your modem/ISP (usually DHCP).
- Firmware Updates: Check for and install any available firmware updates for security and performance improvements.
- Guest Network (Optional): Set up a separate network for visitors if needed.
- Backup Configuration (If possible): Save your configuration settings if the utility or interface offers this option.

Frequently Asked Questions about 10.0.1.1
What is 10.0.1.1?
10.0.1.1 is a private IP address commonly used as the default gateway for network routers, notably Apple AirPort base stations, and some other brands.
How to change router's WiFi Password or SSID of 10.0.1.1?
For AirPort: Use AirPort Utility, select the device, click 'Edit', go to 'Base Station' tab to change device password; go to 'Wireless' tab for WiFi password. For others: Log into 10.0.1.1 web UI, find Wireless Security settings.
What if I forget the 10.0.1.1 password?
Perform a factory reset using the physical reset button on the device (method varies, check manual). This restores defaults but erases custom settings.
Can I change 10.0.1.1 to another IP?
