DZS Router Login: Default IP & Passwords

I have helped with DZS logins for years, and the same thing trips people up every time. The password that works on one DZS box fails on the next, because the defaults change by model. Your fiber is online, the settings sit one login away, and the page gives no clue which password it wants.
This guide gives you the most common DZS login, every model variant I could verify, and the steps that get you in.
Most DZS routers log in at 192.168.1.1 with the username admin and the password zhone. Some models use admin as the password instead, and the MESH-1200 mesh units log in at 192.168.10.1 with the password printed on the label.
The fastest way in: tap the button below, then sign in with the details in the box.
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Username: admin
Password: zhone
Login to Admin Panel →This button opens our 192.168.1.1 login guide, which takes you to the router itself. It works only when your device is connected to that router, by WiFi or cable.
How to Log in to a DZS Router
I walk through this in the same order every time, because the order keeps a login from going wrong. Check the label on your own unit before you type anything.
- Connect your computer or phone to the DZS router with an Ethernet cable or over Wi-Fi.
- Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1. Type the address into the address bar, not the search bar.
- Type admin in the username field and zhone in the password field. If zhone fails, try admin as the password.
- Click Log In. The admin panel opens, and you can change the Wi-Fi details or check connected devices.
DZS Default Username and Password
I have seen this catch owners out: DZS has no single password that fits every box. The table below lists every combination I could verify, so find your model and try its row first.
| Model | Username | Password | Login IP |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZNID-GPON-2428B1 | admin | zhone | 192.168.1.1 |
| ZIND-GPON-2428B1-1GY | admin | admin | 192.168.1.1 |
| ZNID-GPON-24xxA1 | admin | admin | 192.168.1.1 |
| ZNID-GPON-24xxA1 | user | user | 192.168.1.1 |
| MESH-1200 | admin | Printed on router label | 192.168.10.1 |
If your model is not in the table, start with admin and zhone. That is the combination most DZS fiber gateways ship with.
Change DZS WiFi Password and Network Name
I change the Wi-Fi password first on every router I set up, because the factory password is the same on every unit. Once you are logged in, the change takes about a minute.
- Log in at 192.168.1.1 with your admin password.
- Open Configuration on the left side of the page, then expand Wireless and click Basic.
- Type your new network name (SSID) in the SSID box and click Apply or Save.
- Open Security, set Network Authentication to WPA2-PSK, and type a new Wi-Fi password.
- Save the settings, then reconnect your devices with the new password.
Use a password of at least 12 characters with letters and numbers, and do not reuse a password from anywhere else. I write the new password down before I save it, so I am not locked out of my own Wi-Fi.
DZS Login Not Working?
I start with the connection itself, because that is where most login failures begin.
- Make sure your device is connected to the DZS network, not to mobile data or a different Wi-Fi network.
- Type the address exactly: 192.168.1.1, with no extra letters or spaces.
- Try zhone first, then admin. Some DZS models also accept user and user, so try that pair last.
- Check that Caps Lock is off, and type the password exactly as it is — passwords are case-sensitive.
- Your ISP may have changed the admin password. If none of the defaults work, ask your provider before you reset anything.
- Restart the router: unplug it, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in.
If you still cannot log in because the password was changed and forgotten, reset the router to factory settings: press and hold the recessed Reset button for about 10 to 30 seconds with a paperclip, then let go.
A reset erases every setting, and it can also remove your ISP’s settings, so you may need your provider to get back online.. If the login page will not open at all, check that you are using the right gateway address with our router IP finder.
Most models log in at 192.168.1.1. The MESH-1200 is the odd one out at 192.168.10.1, and its password sits on the label on the back of the unit.
