How to Login to 192.168.10.253
Connecting to a device at 192.168.10.253? This IP address could point to your network's router/gateway, or it might be assigned to another important network device like an access point, managed switch, or server within the 192.168.10.x range.
To access the configuration interface of a device at 192.168.10.253, your computer must be on the same network segment (i.e., have an IP address like 192.168.10.x). Ensure you have a network connection (wired or wireless) to this network.
