Comtrend Router Login: IP, Username and Password
Log in to Comtrend at 192.168.1.1 with root and 12345 or admin and admin. WiFi and reset.
Connect to your Comtrend router first by WiFi or cable. Some models use admin and admin.
Comtrend makes DSL and fiber routers supplied by internet providers in Europe, Latin America and North America. Most open their admin page at 192.168.1.1.
The most reported default login is root with 12345, while other models use admin and admin. Here is how to log in, change WiFi 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 Comtrend 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.
- Enter the username and password from the table below or from the router label.
- After logging in, change the admin password and make sure WiFi security is WPA2 or WPA3.
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 Comtrend that will not open. After you log in, the Device Info page shows the router’s status at a glance.
Comtrend default IP, username and password
| Model | Default IP | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| Most Comtrend DSL routers | 192.168.1.1 | root | 12345 |
| Other models | 192.168.1.1 | admin | admin |
| WR-5887 | 192.168.0.1 | admin | admin |
| ISP builds | See label | See label | See label |
ISP versions often print a unique password on the label. The unique-password detail is the one I point at first on any ISP-supplied Comtrend. Some models also have a limited user account (user/user) that can view settings but cannot change them.
How to change the WiFi password on a Comtrend router
- Log in at 192.168.1.1.
- Open Wireless, then Security.
- Choose WPA2-PSK and enter a new pass phrase.
- Click Apply/Save and reconnect devices.
Change the network name under Wireless, Basic. Need a strong key? Try our WiFi Password Generator. For me, the Wireless-Basic page is where every Comtrend WiFi change starts.
Comtrend 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.
I start with the label check whenever a Comtrend login will not work.
How to reset a Comtrend router
- Keep the router powered on.
- Hold the reset button for about 10 seconds.
- Release and wait 2 minutes.
- Log in with root and 12345 or admin and admin.
Note your ISP internet login before resetting. The ISP-login note is the step I never skip before I press the reset button.
Comtrend routers from your ISP
Comtrend makes DSL and fibre routers supplied by internet providers in Spain, Australia, the Americas and elsewhere. Most open at 192.168.1.1. Common defaults include root/12345, admin/admin or credentials on the label, depending on the ISP. Spanish ISP units sometimes use 1234 as both the username and the password.
Because providers customise them, some menus may be hidden. The label is always the best first source for your login. The hidden-menu warning is the detail I mention first for any provider-customised unit.
Settings to check on a Comtrend router
- Change the admin password if the router allows it.
- Set WiFi security to WPA2-PSK (AES).
- Turn off WPS.
- If you use your own router behind it, look for bridge mode in WAN settings.
- Note any PPPoE details before resetting.
The admin-password change is the step I never skip on a new Comtrend setup.
Comtrend VDSL modems on fibre-to-the-cabinet
Many Comtrend units are VDSL modems for fibre-to-the-cabinet services, where the last stretch to your home is copper phone line. Their status page shows sync speed, noise margin and attenuation, which are useful when your internet is slower than expected.
- Sync speed: the speed the modem connects at. Your real speed can’t exceed this.
- SNR margin: above about 6 dB is healthy; lower means an unstable line.
- Attenuation: higher means longer or poorer line, and lower speeds.
If sync speed is much lower than your plan, it’s a line issue for your ISP to investigate. The sync-speed check is the step I take first when a VDSL line runs slow.
Before you call your ISP
- Plug the modem into the main phone socket, not an extension.
- Use a filter or the faceplate filter if your line has phone service.
- Swap the DSL cable for a short, good-quality one.
- Restart the modem and note the sync speed and SNR margin.
- Share those numbers with support.
The lights-and-cables check is the step I run first before I call the provider.
