Motorola Router Login: 192.168.0.1 and Password
Log in to a Motorola modem router at 192.168.0.1 or a cable modem at 192.168.100.1 with admin and motorola. WiFi changes and reset.
Connect to your Motorola router’s WiFi first. The login is also printed on the router label.
To log in to a Motorola cable modem router (gateway) or WiFi router, connect to its network and open 192.168.0.1 in a browser. Motorola cable modems without WiFi show their status page at 192.168.100.1. MR series routers also answer at setupmyrouter.net, and the mesh systems use the MotoSync app.
The default login on most Motorola devices is username admin and password motorola. Some newer models print a unique password on the label.
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 Motorola router
- Connect your phone or computer to the Motorola WiFi network, or plug in a network cable.
- Open a browser and go to http://192.168.0.1.
- Enter the admin username and password. The defaults are below and on the router label.
- Change the default admin password from the administration or system menu.
I plug in a cable before I retype the address whenever a Motorola page will not load.
Motorola default IP address, username and password
| Model or type | Login address | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motorola modem routers (MG series) | 192.168.0.1 | admin | motorola |
| Motorola cable modems (MB series) | 192.168.100.1 | admin | motorola |
| Motorola WiFi routers and mesh | 192.168.0.1 or app | admin | motorola or on label |
Defaults differ by model and firmware. If these do not work, check the label on your router or reset it. The label-password detail is the one I check first on any Motorola.
Motorola router login not working?
1. Check your connection
Your device must be connected to the router’s WiFi or plugged in with a cable. Turn off mobile data on phones, because the router page cannot be reached over a cellular connection.
2. Type the address correctly
Type http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar, not the search box. Use only numbers and dots. Do not add www or .com. Our IP Address Checker fixes common typos.
3. Confirm the router IP
Your router may use a different address. Use the Router IP Finder to read the exact Default Gateway from your device.
4. Try another browser or a private window
Clear the browser cache or open a private window. Some browsers force HTTPS, so type http:// at the start.
5. Restart the router
Unplug the router for 30 seconds, plug it back in, wait two minutes and try again.
6. Turn off VPN or proxy apps
A VPN sends your traffic to another network, so your local router cannot be reached until you disconnect it.
The mobile-data-off check is the step I take first when a Motorola page will not load.
How to change your Motorola WiFi name and password
- Log in at http://192.168.0.1 with the admin username and password.
- Open Wireless, WiFi or WLAN settings. On dual-band routers, edit both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks.
- Change the SSID to set a new WiFi name.
- Choose WPA2-PSK (AES) or WPA3 security and enter a new password. Our WiFi Password Generator creates a strong one.
- Click Save or Apply, then reconnect your devices with the new password.
For me, the both-bands edit is the step I never skip on a dual-band Motorola.
How to reset a Motorola router
With the device on, press and hold the Reset button with a pin for about 10 to 15 seconds until the lights flash, then release it. Wait a few minutes for the modem to reconnect to your provider.
Note: a factory reset erases your WiFi name, password and other settings. Keep any internet provider login details ready before you reset. The 10-to-15-second hold is the timing I trust before I reach for a reset on a Motorola.
Motorola modems vs Motorola routers
Motorola-branded network gear (made under licence by Minim) comes in three flavours, and the login is slightly different for each:
- Cable modems only, like the MB8600 or MB8611, have no WiFi. They open a status page at 192.168.100.1, with admin and motorola as the login.
- Modem-router combos, like the MG7700 or MG8702, have WiFi built in and are managed at 192.168.0.1 with admin and motorola.
- Standalone routers and mesh, like the MR or MH series, use 192.168.0.1 or an app depending on the model.
If you only have a modem, the WiFi you see is coming from a separate router, and that router’s login page is where WiFi settings live. The combo-first detail is the one I explain first when the login address looks wrong.
Reading the modem status page
The status page on Motorola cable modems is useful when your internet keeps dropping. Look for:
- Downstream power: roughly between -7 and +7 dBmV is healthy.
- Upstream power: roughly 35 to 50 dBmV is normal.
- SNR: above about 35 dB is good.
- Uncorrectables: numbers that keep climbing point to a line problem.
If readings are well outside these ranges, the fix is usually on the cable line, so screenshot the page and share it with your ISP when you call. The screenshot-first habit is the one I keep before I call support about a line fault.
Before you call your ISP
- Restart the modem and router, waiting a minute between each.
- Check that the coax cable is tight at the wall and the modem.
- Remove any splitters you don’t need.
- Note the status page readings so support can see the problem quickly.
The coax-tight check is the step I take first before I blame the modem.
