Arris Router Login
Arris (now part of CommScope) is a major manufacturer of modems and modem/router combo devices, often supplied by cable internet providers (ISPs). This guide helps you access your Arris device's web interface.
How to Login to Arris Router
Accessing your Arris modem or router settings allows you to manage WiFi (on combo units), view connection status, and configure basic options. Arris devices are widely used by cable ISPs like Xfinity, Cox, Spectrum, etc.
The most common IP address for Arris router configuration is 192.168.0.1. For accessing the status page of Arris modems (even when used with a separate router), 192.168.100.1 is frequently used.
For initial setup or troubleshooting, connecting via an Ethernet cable is often more reliable than WiFi. If your Arris device is a modem/router combo, you can also connect via WiFi using the default SSID/password found on the device label.
The most widely used default credentials for Arris devices are username: 'admin' and password: 'password'. However, always check the sticker on your device. Some models or ISP-customized units may have unique passwords printed there, or use different defaults (e.g., username 'cusadmin').
- Connect your computer directly to the Arris device using an Ethernet cable (recommended) or connect to its WiFi network (if it's a combo unit).
- Open a web browser and enter the default IP address: 'http://192.168.0.1' (most common) or '192.168.100.1' (often for accessing modem-only status pages).
- Enter the default username 'admin' and password 'password' (most common combination). Some models might use credentials printed on the label.
- Click 'Login' or 'Apply' to access the interface.

Troubleshooting Issues with Arris Router
Can't log into your Arris device? Check these possibilities:
- Correct IP Address: Ensure you're using http://192.168.0.1 (for router settings) or http://192.168.100.1 (for modem status). Typographical errors are common.
- Direct Connection: Try connecting via an Ethernet cable directly from your computer to the Arris device, bypassing any other routers or switches.
- Credentials Check: Verify the username ('admin' usually) and password ('password' commonly). Check the device label carefully for any specific credentials. Passwords are case-sensitive.
- ISP Override: Some ISPs remotely manage Arris devices and may change default logins or disable user access to certain settings.
- Browser Issues: Clear your browser's cache and cookies, use an incognito/private window, or try a different web browser.
- Device Restart: Power cycle the Arris modem/router. Unplug the power cord, wait 60 seconds, plug it back in. Wait several minutes for it to fully sync.
- Factory Reset (Use with Caution): Locate the reset button (usually recessed). Press and hold it for 15-30 seconds while powered on. This restores factory defaults (admin/password or label defaults). *Note: This may un-provision the modem from your ISP, potentially requiring a call to them to get it back online.*
- Contact ISP Support: If it's an ISP-provided device and you still can't log in, contact your internet service provider's support.
Arris Router setup
After logging into your Arris router/combo unit's interface, consider these setup steps (features vary by model and ISP):
- Change Admin Password: Immediately change the default 'password' (or label password) for the admin account to secure the interface.
- Configure WiFi Settings (Combo Units): Set a unique WiFi network name (SSID) and a strong WPA2/WPA3 password. Configure both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands if available.
- Check Connection Status: Review the cable modem's connection status, signal levels (Downstream/Upstream Power, SNR), and event logs. This is often viewable via 192.168.100.1.
- Enable Firewall Settings: Ensure the basic firewall is enabled (usually found under 'Security' or 'Firewall').
- Configure LAN Settings (Optional): Adjust DHCP range if needed (usually under 'LAN Setup').
- Set Up Guest Network (If Available): Create a separate network for visitors if your model supports it.
- Save/Apply Changes: Make sure to save any changes made in the interface.
