10.0.0.2 Router Login: IP, Username and Password
Log in to 10.0.0.2 with admin and admin or admin and zoomadsl. When 10.0.0.2 is a modem, when it is a device, and fixes.
The page opens only on a device connected to that router. Check the sticker on your router for its exact login. More defaults: Default Router Password List.
10.0.0.2 is a private IP address. On some modems, including several Zoom, TRENDnet and Gemtek models, it is the admin login page. On many other networks it is simply the first address the router hands to a phone or laptop.
This guide helps you tell which case you are in, log in when 10.0.0.2 is your modem, and fix the usual errors.
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 10.0.0.2
Logging in takes less than a minute when your device is on the right network. Follow these steps in order:
- Connect your phone or computer to the router by WiFi or with an Ethernet cable. Mobile data will not reach 10.0.0.2.
- Open any browser and type http://10.0.0.2 in the address bar, not the search box.
- Enter the admin username and password. Try the defaults in the table below, or the ones printed on the router label.
- Once you are in, change the admin password and check that WiFi security is set to WPA2 or WPA3.
If the page never loads, your router probably uses a different address. Run our Router IP Finder or check the “Default Gateway” on your device before trying again.
Default username and password for 10.0.0.2
Defaults depend on the brand and model. These are the combinations most often reported for devices that use 10.0.0.2:
| Username | Password | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| admin | admin | Most reported default |
| admin | zoomadsl | Zoom ADSL modems |
| zoomadsl | admin | Some Zoom firmware |
| admin | epicrouter | Older Gemtek and Zoom builds |
| admin | password | Common alternative |
Most routers made in the last few years print a unique password on the label instead of a shared default. If none of these work and the password was changed, a factory reset brings back the label defaults.
Why your router uses 10.0.0.2
10.0.0.2 belongs to the 10.0.0.0/8 private range used by home and office networks.
If your router is 10.0.0.1, such as an Xfinity gateway, then 10.0.0.2 is usually a device on your network, not a login page. Opening it in a browser will do nothing or show that device, such as a printer.
Some DSL modems use 10.0.0.2 as their own address so that a router behind them can use 10.0.0.1. That is why older Zoom and Gemtek units answer on it.
Brands and devices that use 10.0.0.2
10.0.0.2 is not tied to one manufacturer. It is reported as the default or common gateway on these brands and ISP devices:
- Zoom ADSL modems and routers
- TRENDnet and Gemtek models
- BEC Technologies, Walton and Jaht devices
- Telkom supplied modems
Your exact model decides the address, so the label on the router or its manual is the final word.
How to check that your router really uses this IP
Before you troubleshoot the login page, confirm the gateway address on the device you are using:
- Windows: open Command Prompt, type
ipconfigand read the “Default Gateway” line. - Mac: open System Settings, Network, your connection, Details, then TCP/IP and read “Router”.
- Android: open WiFi settings, tap the connected network, and look for Gateway or Router.
- iPhone and iPad: Settings, Wi-Fi, tap the (i) next to your network, and read Router.
10.0.0.2 not working? Fixes that work
When the address times out or keeps refusing your password, work through these checks:
- Wrong network: make sure you are on the router WiFi, not mobile data, a guest network or a VPN.
- Wrong address: confirm the default gateway using the steps above. Many routers use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 instead.
- Browser issues: type http:// in front, try a private window, or use another browser.
- Wrong password: check the label, then try the table above. Passwords are case sensitive.
- Router not responding: restart it, wait two minutes, and try again with a cable if you can.
- Locked out: hold the reset button for about 10 seconds to restore factory settings. This erases your WiFi name and password.

Common typos of 10.0.0.2
A single wrong character sends you to a search page instead of your router. These are the mistakes people make most often when typing 10.0.0.2:
- 10.0.0.z is not valid. A letter z in place of the number 2.
- 10.0.0.02 is not valid. Leading zeros can be read differently. Use 10.0.0.2.
- 10.0.2 is not valid. An IP address needs four parts.
- 10.0.0,2 is not valid. A comma instead of a dot.
- 10.0.0.2. is not valid. A trailing dot can break the address.
Type the address exactly as 10.0.0.2 with dots, no spaces and no letters, then press Enter. Adding http:// in front stops the browser from treating it as a search.
