Cogeco Router Login
Cogeco provides internet services in Canada and parts of the US, supplying various modems and WiFi gateways (often Arris, Technicolor, Hitron). This guide helps you access your Cogeco device's settings.
How to Login to Cogeco Router
Accessing your Cogeco modem or WiFi gateway settings depends on the device model and its operating mode (gateway/router mode vs. bridge mode).
For Cogeco WiFi Gateways (Router Mode - Most Common):
- The standard IP address to access the full configuration interface is 192.168.0.1.
- Connect your computer via Ethernet or WiFi.
- Navigate to 192.168.0.1 in your browser.
- The default username is typically 'cusadmin' (customer admin).
- The default password is often 'password', BUT many newer Cogeco gateways have a unique default password printed on the sticker on the device. Check this sticker carefully first!
For Modems in Bridge Mode or Basic Modems (Status Only):
- If your Cogeco modem is set to 'bridge mode' (meaning you are using your own separate router), or if it's a very basic modem without routing functions, you usually cannot access configuration settings.
- You might be able to access a status page at 192.168.100.1. This page shows connection status, signal levels, and logs, but typically offers no configurable settings. Login credentials for this page vary widely (admin/password, root/password, or none needed) and are less critical as no settings can be changed.
Cogeco also offers the 'Cogeco Wi-Fi' app for managing some features of newer gateways, similar to Shaw's Ignite WiFi Hub.
- Connect your computer to the Cogeco modem/gateway via Ethernet cable or WiFi.
- Open a web browser.
- Enter the default IP address:
- For most Cogeco WiFi gateways (router function enabled): 'http://192.168.0.1'
- For modems in bridge mode or some basic modems: 'http://192.168.100.1' (provides status info only)
- Check your device type and documentation.
- If accessing 192.168.0.1 (gateway mode):
- Enter Username: 'cusadmin'
- Enter Password: 'password' OR the unique password printed on the device sticker.
- If accessing 192.168.100.1 (bridge mode/status):
- Login might be 'admin'/'password', 'root'/'password', or no login needed, depending on model.
- Click Login.
