Askey Router Login: Router Admin Setup Guide
Log in to Askey at 192.168.1.1 with admin and admin or the label password.
Connect to your Askey router first by WiFi or cable. Askey makes ISP routers, including Spectrum WiFi units.
Askey builds routers and gateways for internet providers such as Spectrum and others. Most open at 192.168.1.1, some at 192.168.0.1, and Askey cable modems at 192.168.100.1. Spectrum’s RAC2V1K is the Askey router most Spectrum customers get.
Defaults vary by model: admin and admin, admin with no password, or a unique password on the label. Here is how to log in and reset.
The fastest way in: tap the login button in the box at the top of this page, then sign in with the details on your router label.
How to log in to your Askey router
- Connect your phone or computer to the router WiFi, or plug in an Ethernet cable.
- Open a browser and type http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar. Cable modems: http://192.168.100.1.
- Enter the username and password from the table below or the router label.
- Once logged in, change the admin password and use WPA2 or WPA3 for WiFi.
If the page does not open, check your Default Gateway with our Router IP Finder. ISP builds sometimes use a different address.
The 192.168.1.1 address is the one I try first on any Askey that will not open.
Askey default IP, username and password
| Model or type | Login address | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTA1030W | 192.168.1.1 | admin | admin |
| RTW026 | 192.168.1.1 | admin | (blank) |
| RTW030 | 192.168.0.1 | admin | admin |
| TCG310 cable modem | 192.168.100.1 | user | user |
| Spectrum Askey routers | Spectrum app or 192.168.1.1 | admin | On the label |
For Spectrum units, the label login or the Spectrum app is the reliable route. For me, the Spectrum-app route is the first one I try when the label login fails.
How to change the WiFi password on a Askey router
- Log in to the router.
- Open Wireless or WiFi settings.
- Change the name and password.
- Save and reconnect devices.
Spectrum users can also use the My Spectrum app. Need a strong key? Try our WiFi Password Generator. I reach for the My Spectrum app first whenever a password change needs doing on an Askey.
Askey login problems and fixes
- 192.168.1.1 will not load: make sure you are on the router WiFi, not mobile data or a VPN, and type http:// in front.
- Wrong password: check the label first. If you or your ISP changed it, the defaults will not work.
- Page loads but login fails: clear the browser cache or try a private window. Some routers lock you out for a few minutes after several attempts.
- Router from your ISP: the provider may manage it. Their app or support line can reset the admin password.
- Still locked out: a factory reset restores the label login, but erases your settings.
When an Askey login will not work, I check the label before I touch anything else.
How to reset a Askey router
- Keep the router powered on.
- Press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds, until the lights flash.
- Release and wait 2 to 3 minutes.
- Log in with the default details and set up WiFi again.
ISP routers may reload provider settings after a reset. The 10-second hold is the timing I trust before I reach for a reset on an Askey.
Askey makes routers for internet providers
You won’t usually find Askey routers in shops. Askey, a Taiwanese manufacturer, builds cable modems, fibre gateways and WiFi routers for internet providers in Asia, Latin America and elsewhere. That means the login details and menus depend on your provider.
Most Askey units open at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, with the admin password on the label. Some providers keep a technician account with full access and give customers a user account with fewer options. The technician-account detail is the one I explain first when settings stay hidden.
If your Askey login doesn’t work
- Check the label for a web or admin password, not just the WiFi key.
- Try admin/admin and admin/password if the label shows nothing.
- Search for your provider’s name plus “Askey router login” for provider-specific details.
- If all else fails, reset the router and use the label details.
- Contact your provider if the router still won’t accept the login.
The provider-first step is the one I take when the label details will not work.
Using your own router with an Askey gateway
If the WiFi from your provider’s Askey router isn’t strong enough, you can add your own router or mesh. Plug it into a LAN port on the Askey and set your router to access point mode, or ask your provider to put the Askey into bridge mode.
The bridge-mode ask is the step I take first before I plug a second router in.
