Are you curious about 10.0.0.1? At first glance, it sort of looks like from the Matrix movie codes but not quite. Actually, it is a local IP address used to configure the router and the network. Some Infinity, Cisco, and ASUS routers manufactured by D-Link or Comcast have 10.0.0.1 as it’s default settings address. You can also read about 192.168.1.1 from our site.
It may not be as common as the other private IP addresses like 192.168.1.1 but it’s still the same. This address is more commonly seen in business computer networks rather than in-home networks where routers normally use the 192.168.x.x format.

What is 10.0.0.1
10.0.0.1 is a private IP address so it can be accessed on the local network behind a wireless router only and not over the internet. So if you have no idea how default gateways work, you should rest easy when we say that ONLY those connected to your network have the access to it.
Unless you share your WiFi password, it is not possible for your neighbors or anyone else to NOT Connected to your device and configure your network settings. Only you can configure your router settings with the default password.

Common Issues With 10.0.0.1
If you are encountering some issues like “WiFi Connected But No Internet Access”, then we have some fixes that you can apply for your router.
Can’t connect to 10.0.0.1:
If the 10.0.0.1 is your default gateway and yet you cannot connect to it for some tries, then obviously there is a problem. When you see the “Internet Failed to Connect to Server” I should say that this is a common issue.
Solution 1: There is no telling if this is a big deal or a simple bug on the router itself. It could mean many things. But start with turning off your antivirus and check again.
Solution 2: Did it work? If it didn’t, check the LAN cable if you are wired connected. There might be a damaged part somewhere along the cable wire. If so, you will need to buy a new LAN cable.
Solution 3: So what you should do first is to reset the router to default. To do this, find a reset button at the back of the router. If you find the reset button, just press on it for 10 seconds until the router automatically reboots. You should let go of the button once it restarts.
The reboot will reset the router to factory settings. That means the network will be the way when you first turn it on when you got it from a store or from your ISP.
Now try the 10.0.0.1 IP address again on your web browser and see if that fixed it. It would be best to try the browsers of multiple devices like smartphones and laptops as well. Now, did it work?
Solution 4: If not, try the command prompt. Press Windows key + R and type CMD on the Run window. Press ENTER and the command window will show up. From there, type in the ping 10.0.0.1 and then press ENTER again.
You should see a response Reply From with some details. But if you see a Request Timed Out message, that is not a good sign. At this point, you should call a technician to check the router.
Gateway Device Unresponsive:
The device assigned with 10.0.0.1 might stop working due to some technical failures with the device or the WiFi network itself. To fix this, you can try rebooting your router and your PC and then see if the device responds. If you still get this error then you might want to contact your router’s manufacturer for further support.
It could also be the cause of an aggressive antivirus. Try disabling it temporarily and see if things are better by trying out your browser again.
Incorrect Client Address:
If DHCP is the default on your network then the 10.0.0.1 is already a given default IP address. You just need to make sure that no devices connect to the network using the same IP address.
Actually, this should not happen at all since the DHCP automatically detects and provide an unused IP address for new devices. This is more common for Tp-Link routers and Jiofi Wi-Fi dongles.
But if this case actually happens, there is a way around this. Follow these steps.
1. Modify the TCP/IPv4 and put it to manual. To do this, press Windows key + R to launch the Run window. 2. Then type in ncpa.cpl. This is to open the Network Connections window.
3. Double click on the network adapter that you are using to connect to the router. 4. Click Properties on the Ethernet Status.
5. Scroll down to see the TCP/IPv4 and double-click on it. 6. Tick the Use The Following IP Address instead of the Obtain an IP Address automatically. 7. Copy the image IP address designation below.
You can try using other numbers instead of 20. In fact, you can go as far as 99. It should look like 10.0.0.99 or something. 8. Once you copied the static IP address and everything else, click OK to close the window and the other windows as well. Your internet should now be back.
In Conclusion
The 10.0.0.1 IP address works the same way as any other IP address used as a default gateway. So you can treat it as how you treat other common IP addresses if you have prior experiences with those.
If the errors and connectivity issues still persist, it should be high time that you consider getting a new router. For the obvious reason that the current router that you are using might be broken with software or some hardware issue is at hand. You will be able to access the default username and password written on a sticker located somewhere on your router even though it depends on what router model you are using. Users can always change the wireless network passwords of your router from the router settings. You can also hit the factory reset if you want the default password.
If you are having issues to access 10.0.0.1 then it may be cause the default gateway address of your router or devices is other than 10.0.0.1 because of which your browser is unable to locate the Admin Panel at 10.0.0.1.
