10.1.1.1 Router Login: How to Access Your Admin Panel

10.1.1.1 is a default gateway address used by a range of modems and routers, and it is especially common on Australian ISP equipment, including NetComm, Billion, and Belkin BoB units, as well as some D-Link DSL models. It sits in the 10.0.0.0 private range rather than the 192.168.x range most home routers use. This guide covers how to log in, the credentials to try, and what to do when the page will not load.

How to Log In to 10.1.1.1

1. Connect your phone or computer to the router, over Wi-Fi or with an Ethernet cable. You must be on the router’s own network, since 10.1.1.1 is a private address reachable only from your local network.
2. Open a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.
3. Click the address bar at the top of the browser, the bar that shows the web address. Do not use the search box, and do not add www in front.
4. Type http://10.1.1.1 and press Enter.
5. If a security warning appears, continue past it. It is safe on your own network.
6. Enter the username and password when the login page loads.

Username and Password

Because several brands use 10.1.1.1, the login varies. These are the most common combinations.

Device type	Username	Password
NetComm, Billion (many)	admin	admin
Belkin BoB and ADSL units	admin	(blank)
D-Link DSL models	admin	admin

admin/admin works on many NetComm and Billion units, which are among the most common at this address. Belkin’s Australian broadband gateways, such as the BoB, often use admin with a blank password. The definitive source is the label on the back or bottom of your router, since provider-supplied equipment frequently uses a unique password printed there. Do not rely on credentials from random websites when the label gives the exact answer. The login is case-sensitive.

Which Routers Use 10.1.1.1?

This address is used mainly by DSL and broadband modems, and it is particularly associated with Australian internet providers. Confirmed users include NetComm and Billion units, Belkin’s BoB and ADSL modem-routers, several D-Link DSL models, and various ISP-supplied gateways. Some enterprise and small-business equipment uses it too. If 10.1.1.1 does not open, your router likely uses a more common address such as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.

Note that 10.1.1.1 and addresses like 192.168.1.1 are on entirely separate subnets, so a device on a 10.1.1.x network will not respond at 192.168.1.1, and vice versa.

How to Change Your Wi-Fi Password

1. Log in at 10.1.1.1.
2. Open the Wireless or WLAN settings section.
3. Find the Wi-Fi name (SSID) and the password field, sometimes labeled Pre-Shared Key or Network Key.
4. Enter your new password and save or apply the change.

After saving, every device drops off the Wi-Fi and reconnects with the new key. Use a password of at least 12 characters with no personal details. While you are in the settings, it is worth disabling WPS, which has known security weaknesses and is not needed on modern networks. Our full guide on how to change your Wi-Fi password covers it for any router.

What to Do If 10.1.1.1 Will Not Load

Confirm this is actually your gateway. Check your actual address:

• On Windows: press Windows + R, type cmd, and run ipconfig. Read the “Default Gateway” line.
• On Android: open Settings, then Network and Internet, then Wi-Fi, tap your network, and look under Advanced for the Gateway.
• On a phone generally: open your Wi-Fi network details and look for the gateway or router field, or use our guide on how to find your router’s IP address.

Whatever appears there is the one to use. It may be 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or another address entirely.

Check that you typed the numbers correctly. The address is digits only, 10.1.1.1, entered in the address bar, not the search box, with no www in front.

Make sure you are connected to the router. A VPN, guest network, or mobile data will all stop the address from loading.

Try a wired connection or another browser. Ethernet is steadier for settings pages, and a private window or different browser rules out a cached page. If it still will not open, work through our guide on what to do when you cannot access the router web interface.

How to Reset the Router to Factory Settings

A factory reset erases everything: the Wi-Fi name and password, the admin password, and all settings. Reset only when you are locked out and have no other way in.

1. Find the recessed Reset button on the back or bottom of the router.
2. With the router powered on, use a pin or paperclip to press and hold it for about 10 to 15 seconds, until the lights blink.
3. Release and wait a minute or two for the router to restart.
4. Log in with the default credentials on the label.

Because 10.1.1.1 is common on provider equipment, a reset can clear the settings that connect the router to your provider’s network. Contact your provider before resetting if you rely on their equipment.

Conclusion

Logging in at 10.1.1.1 means connecting to the router, typing the address into your browser, and signing in, usually with admin/admin on NetComm and Billion units, or admin with a blank password on Belkin models. Because this address is common on Australian ISP equipment, the label on your router is the most reliable source for the exact credentials. If the page will not load, confirm it is actually your gateway, since many routers use a more common address like 192.168.1.1.
