10.0.0.1 Router Login
Access your Xfinity Comcast gateway, Apple AirPort, or custom router admin panel. Complete guide with default credentials and setup instructions.
What is 10.0.0.1?
10.0.0.1 is a Class A private IP address primarily used as the default gateway for Xfinity Comcast gateways, Apple AirPort routers, and some custom network configurations. Unlike the more common 192.168.x.x addresses, 10.0.0.1 belongs to the 10.0.0.0/8 network range, which provides a much larger address space for complex networks.
Xfinity Comcast Default
Standard gateway for XB6, XB7, XB8 and newer models
Apple AirPort
Default for AirPort Extreme, Express, Time Capsule
Class A IP Range
Larger network capacity: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

Important Note: Xfinity disabled the admin panel access for XB6 and newer models, moving most functions to the Xfinity mobile app. If you have an XB6, XB7, or XB8, you may need to use the app for configuration instead of 10.0.0.1.
Why 10.0.0.1 Instead of 192.168.x.x?
The 10.0.0.1 IP address offers several advantages, especially for ISPs like Comcast:

Restart Your Router
A simple restart often fixes access issues:
- Unplug the power cable from your router
- Wait 30 seconds
- Plug it back in and wait for all lights to stabilize
- Try accessing 10.0.0.1 again
Clear Browser Cache
Browser cache can cause login issues:
- • Try using incognito/private browsing mode

- • Wait for the router to restart completely
- • Try logging in with default credentials
Warning: Warning: This will erase all custom settings including WiFi name, password, and configurations.
Common Typing Mistakes: 10.0.0.1 vs Wrong Formats
IP addresses must be typed exactly. Here are the most common mistakes when typing 10.0.0.1:
Wrong Format | Correct Format | Common Mistake |
|---|---|---|
10.0.0.0.1 | 10.0.0.1 | Extra "0" making it 5 octets instead of 4 |
10.0.0.l | 10.0.0.1 | Letter "l" instead of number "1" |
10.0.0.0 | 10.0.0.1 | Missing the final ".1" |
10 0 0 1 | 10.0.0.1 | Spaces instead of dots |
10.0.01 | 10.0.0.1 | Missing dot before "1" |
www.10.0.0.1 | 10.0.0.1 | Adding "www" prefix |
Remember: IP Addresses Have Exactly 4 Parts
A valid IP address has exactly 4 numbers separated by 3 dots. 10.0.0.0.1 has 5 numbers (invalid). 10.0.0.1 has 4 numbers (correct).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is 10.0.0.1 used for?
10.0.0.1 is a Class A private IP address used as the default gateway for Xfinity Comcast gateways, Apple AirPort routers, and some custom network setups. It provides access to the router's admin panel for configuring WiFi, security, and network settings.
Which routers use 10.0.0.1 as their default IP?
The most common devices using 10.0.0.1 are Xfinity Comcast gateways (XB3, XB5, XB6, XB7, XB8), Apple AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, AirPort Time Capsule, LPB Piso WiFi, and some Linksys routers. It's less common than 192.168.x.x addresses.
What is the default username and password for 10.0.0.1?
For Xfinity Comcast, the default is username: "admin" and password: "password". For Apple AirPort, it's admin/admin. Always check the label on your device or the documentation for the correct credentials specific to your model.
Why can't I access 10.0.0.1 on my Xfinity gateway?
Xfinity disabled web-based admin access at 10.0.0.1 for XB6 and newer gateway models. You must use the Xfinity mobile app or log in to your account on xfinity.com to configure settings like bridge mode, WiFi name, password, and other features. Older models (XB3, XB5) may still allow 10.0.0.1 access.
Is 10.0.0.1 the same as 10.0.0.0.1?
No, 10.0.0.0.1 is a common typo and is invalid. IP addresses have exactly 4 numbers (octets) separated by 3 dots. The correct format is 10.0.0.1 (4 numbers). 10.0.0.0.1 has 5 numbers, making it an invalid IP address that won't work.
How do I find my router's IP address if it's not 10.0.0.1?
On Windows: Open Command Prompt and type "ipconfig", then look for "Default Gateway". On Mac: Open Terminal and type "netstat -nr | grep default". The IP address shown is your router's gateway. You can also check the label on your router or try common addresses like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.
Why does Xfinity use 10.0.0.1 instead of 192.168.1.1?
Xfinity uses 10.0.0.1 because it provides a much larger address space (10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255) for managing millions of customer networks, reduces IP conflicts when customers add their own routers, and follows enterprise networking standards. The 10.x.x.x range is less commonly used in home networks, making it easier for ISPs to provide remote support.
Can I change my router's IP from 10.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.1?
For most routers, yes, you can change the LAN IP address in the network settings. However, for Xfinity gateways, this option may be locked or restricted. If you need a different IP range, consider putting the Xfinity gateway in bridge mode and connecting your own router with your preferred IP configuration. Always note your changes before applying them.
