Adtran Router Login: Access Your Device

Adtran makes business and telecom networking equipment rather than home routers, including the NetVanta and Total Access router and gateway lines and Bluesocket wireless access points. The login differs by product, and one default in particular catches people out: Bluesocket access points use the unusual credentials adm1n and blue1socket (with the number 1 in place of some letters) at 192.168.190.1. This guide covers the login across Adtran’s products and how to reset if you are locked out.

How to Log In to an Adtran Device

1. Connect a computer to the device, ideally with an Ethernet cable into a LAN port. Business gear is more reliably configured over a wired connection.
2. Open a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
3. In the address bar, type your device’s IP address and press Enter. This varies by product, covered in the table below. If a secure connection is required, try https:// in front.
4. If a certificate warning appears, proceed past it, since it is normal on your own network.
5. Enter the username and password.

Default Username and Password

Adtran product	Login address	Username	Password
Bluesocket access points	192.168.190.1	adm1n	blue1socket
NetVanta / Total Access	device address	admin	admin or the label password

The detail that trips people up is the Bluesocket login: it is adm1n and blue1socket, spelled with the number 1 replacing letters, not the ordinary words “admin” and “bluesocket”. Type them exactly, character for character, since they are case-sensitive and the digit substitution is easy to miss.

Adtran’s NetVanta and Total Access routers and gateways more commonly use admin as the username, with admin or a unique password. Because these are business and provider-supplied devices, the label on the unit and your provider’s or IT department’s documentation are the authoritative sources. Many are preconfigured with custom credentials. For the defaults other brands use, see our default router passwords list.

Finding Your Adtran Device’s Address

Bluesocket access points default to 192.168.190.1, which is an unusual address, so do not assume a standard 192.168.1.1. For NetVanta and Total Access units, the address varies by model and configuration.

To confirm the address, check your gateway. On Windows, press Windows + R, type cmd, run ipconfig, and read the “Default Gateway” line, or see our guide on how to find your router’s IP address. In a managed business network, your IT administrator or the device documentation will have the exact address, since these devices are often assigned specific addresses rather than defaults.

How to Change Settings

Once logged in, you manage the device through its interface, which differs between the NetVanta command-driven systems and the Bluesocket web interface.

For wireless settings on a Bluesocket access point, look for the WLAN or SSID configuration section to set the network name and security. On NetVanta and Total Access gear, configuration may involve a web interface or a command-line interface depending on the model. Because these are business devices, changes can affect a whole network, so make them carefully and keep a configuration backup.

What to Do If You Cannot Log In

The page will not load. Confirm you are using the right address. For Bluesocket, that is 192.168.190.1, not a standard home address. Confirm your gateway with ipconfig on Windows, and try https if plain http fails. If it still will not open, work through our guide on what to do when you cannot access the router web interface.

The password is rejected. For Bluesocket, make sure you are entering adm1n and blue1socket with the number 1, not the letter-only spellings. For NetVanta and Total Access, try admin/admin, then check the label. In a managed deployment, the credentials were likely customized, so check with your IT team.

You are on the wrong subnet. If your computer did not get an address automatically, set a static IP in the same range as the device, then connect.

The device is centrally managed. Adtran business equipment is often managed through a controller or provider system, in which case local login may be restricted or the credentials set by policy.

How to Reset an Adtran Device

A factory reset restores the default settings and login, and erases all configuration. Use it only when locked out, and back up the configuration first if you can.

1. With the device powered on, find the recessed Reset button.
2. Use a pin or paperclip to press and hold it for the time your model requires, often around 10 to 30 seconds, until the device restarts.
3. Wait for it to reboot, then log in with the default credentials for your product, adm1n and blue1socket for Bluesocket, or admin for NetVanta and Total Access.

Because Adtran gear is frequently provider-supplied or centrally managed, a reset can disrupt service or disconnect the device from its management system. Contact your provider or IT administrator before resetting.

Conclusion

Logging in to an Adtran device depends on which product you have: Bluesocket access points use the distinctive adm1n and blue1socket credentials, spelled with the number 1, at 192.168.190.1, while NetVanta and Total Access units generally use admin with the label password. Because Adtran makes business and provider equipment, the label and your IT or provider documentation are the most reliable sources, and it is worth coordinating with them before any reset, since these devices are frequently centrally managed.
