How to Log in to the Swisscom Router
Before you can manage the network settings in your Swisscom router, logging in is required. To do this, you can follow the steps below:
Step 1: Connect your Device to the Swisscom Router
The first step to log in is connecting your device to the Swisscom router. While the Swisscom router is known for its wireless connection, you can also use an Ethernet cable for a more stable network.

Step 3: Enter the Login Details in the Login Page
Once the login pages appear, in the username and password fields, enter the login details, either the default or the updated one. The default login details “admin” are located on the back of the router. However, if you have updated your username and password in the past, you can use your new login details.
You may also refer to the table below for the list of default router passwords and usernames used by different Swisscom routers.

Troubleshooting Common Swisscom Router Login Issues
Experiencing issues is very common when logging in to your router. But if you are familiar with each of them and know the right solutions, you can resolve them immediately.
- Internet not working: When your internet is not working upon logging in, check the router first to see if turned on. If the router flashes a red light, unplug the router and restart. However, if a blue light flashes, your router is experiencing a faulty internet connection. Consider contacting the Swisscom customer support to replace the router.
- Login Page not loading: If the login page keeps on loading, try restarting the web browser, as it may be experiencing web traffic at that time. If not resolved, check your router and restart it for a strong connection. If this issue still persists, you may update your router’s firmware.
- Unrecognized IP Address: If the connected device’s web browser did not recognize the router’s IP address, try rebooting your device to clear the memory cache. After reboot, if the provided IP address is still unrecognized, consider using an alternative IP address, such as visiting http://internetbox.swisscom.ch.
- Login credentials cannot be found: In this scenario, even if you are sure you typed the correct login credentials, consider double-checking the printed sticker on the Swisscom router to see if you accessed the correct login page. However, if you still cannot continue on the login page after double-checking, you may reset your router to use the default login credentials.
