10.10.1.1 is the default gateway IP address used by some ASUS routers, Eminent networking devices, and Monster Digital routers. Use the 10.10.1.1 login page to access your router's admin panel, change WiFi settings, and configure your network.
To access your router's admin panel, click below:
Most routers using 10.10.1.1 come with these default username/password combinations:
| Username | Password | Common Brands |
|---|---|---|
| admin | admin | ASUS, Eminent, Monster Digital |
| admin | password | ASUS RT series (select models) |
| admin | 1234 | Eminent EM4544 |
| admin | (empty) | Monster Digital routers |
If none work, check the sticker on the bottom of your router or factory reset your router to restore defaults.
http://10.10.1.1 in the address bar (not the search bar) and press Enter.ipconfig (Windows) or ip route (Linux/Mac). See our find your router IP guide.
| What You Typed | Why It Fails | Correct Format |
|---|---|---|
| 10.10.l.l | Lowercase letter "l" instead of number "1" | 10.10.1.1 |
| 10.10.1.l | Last octet is letter "l" not digit "1" | 10.10.1.1 |
| 10.10.11 | Missing dot between last two octets | 10.10.1.1 |
| 10.10.1 1 | Space instead of dot | 10.10.1.1 |
| 10.1.1.1 | Wrong IP — only one 10 in second octet | 10.10.1.1 |
| 10.10.1.1.1 | Extra octet added | 10.10.1.1 |
| http//10.10.1.1 | Missing colon after http | http://10.10.1.1 |
| www.10.10.1.1 | Adding www prefix to an IP | http://10.10.1.1 |
While most ASUS routers default to 192.168.1.1 or the router.asus.com hostname, certain ASUS RT series models use 10.10.1.1 as an alternative default gateway. This is particularly common on models that have been reconfigured by ISPs or regional distributors who customize firmware before selling to end users. If you purchased an ASUS router through an internet service provider bundle, there is a good chance it has been set to 10.10.1.1 to avoid conflicts with existing network equipment.
ASUS routers running the ASUSWRT firmware provide one of the most feature-rich admin interfaces available. After logging in at 10.10.1.1, you gain access to AiProtection (powered by Trend Micro) for network-level security, Adaptive QoS for bandwidth management, AiMesh support for mesh networking with compatible ASUS routers, and built-in VPN server/client functionality. The interface is organized into a left sidebar with categories including General, Advanced Settings, and Administration.
If your ASUS router doesn't respond at 10.10.1.1, it may have been reset to the factory default of 192.168.1.1. You can also try accessing it via http://router.asus.com, which works regardless of the configured IP address as long as your device is connected to the router's network. Eminent routers like the EM4544 and Monster Digital travel routers also use this address as their default gateway.
10.10.1.1 is a private IP address defined by RFC 1918. It falls within the Class A private range of 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255. This range provides over 16 million addresses, making it the largest block of private IP space available. The 10.x.x.x range is popular with enterprise networks and ISPs because its massive address pool can accommodate complex subnetting schemes without running out of addresses.
As a private IP, 10.10.1.1 is not routable on the public internet. It can only be accessed from devices connected to the same local area network. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) to allow your privately-addressed devices to communicate with the internet through a single public IP assigned by your ISP. This means that thousands of home networks around the world can simultaneously use 10.10.1.1 without any conflicts, since the address only has meaning within each individual local network.
The choice of 10.10.1.1 as a gateway address is relatively uncommon compared to addresses like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Manufacturers who select this address typically do so to minimize the chance of IP conflicts in environments where users may have multiple routers or network devices. The 10.10.x.x subnet is rarely used by consumer devices, which makes it a safe choice for avoiding address collisions when connecting a new router to an existing network.
| IP Address | Common Brands | Network Class |
|---|---|---|
| 10.0.0.1 | Xfinity, Comcast, Arris | Class A |
| 192.168.0.1 | D-Link, Netgear, TP-Link | Class C |
| 192.168.1.1 | Linksys, Asus, Cisco | Class C |
| 10.10.1.1 | ASUS (select), Eminent, Monster Digital | Class A |
| 192.168.1.254 | AT&T, BT Home Hub | Class C |
Pro Tip: After your first login, immediately change the default admin password to prevent unauthorized access. Also consider updating the firmware for security patches.
Key Takeaways
10.10.1.1 is a default gateway IP address used by some ASUS routers, Eminent networking devices, and Monster Digital routers. It gives you access to the router's admin panel where you can configure WiFi, security, and network settings.
Common reasons include not being connected to the router's network, a typo in the address, or the router using a different default IP. Many ASUS routers default to 192.168.1.1 instead. Try finding your router IP to confirm.
The most common default is admin/admin. Some models use admin/password or admin/1234. Check the sticker on the bottom of your router for device-specific credentials.
Hold the reset button on the back of the router for 10-15 seconds to factory reset. This restores all settings to defaults, including the admin password.
No. Both are private IP addresses but belong to different classes. 10.10.1.1 is a Class A address in the 10.x.x.x range, while 192.168.1.1 is a Class C address. Different router brands and configurations use different default gateways.
Yes. ASUS routers support the hostname router.asus.com, which resolves to the router's current IP address regardless of what it's set to. Type http://router.asus.com in your browser while connected to the router's network.
Login to the admin panel, navigate to WiFi or Wireless settings, find the password or passphrase field, enter your new password, and click Apply or Save. See our WiFi name change guide for details.
