Xfinity Router Login and Password

When you purchase a new router, it’s a good idea to change the default configuration - including the login credentials and SSID - before using it to connect to the Internet. This will provide better security for your network, protecting it against hackers and external threats. In this article, learn how to login to your Comcast Xfinity router, how to change the default username and password, and how to troubleshoot common issues you might have.

How do I log in to my Xfinity router?

To learn how to log in to your Xfinity router, follow these steps:

  1. Connect the router to a modem. Plug an Ethernet cable into the Internet port on your router and plug the other end of the cable into the Ethernet port on your modem.
  2. Power your router on. Locate the power button on the device to activate it.
  3. Enter the Xfinity router IP address into your web browser's address bar. Open your web browser. The default router IP for Xfinity is typically either 192.168.1.1, 192.168.100.1, or 10.0.0.1.

If none of these work, you may need to check your router's IP on the router login chart.

Once you've entered the default router login for Xfinity, you'll gain access to the Xfinity router login page. Here, you can update your information, change your router default settings, change firmware, check network speed and download speeds, and more.

Enter your Xfinity router password and username and you'll be able to access the setup page.

After logging in, follow these steps to secure your Xfinity account and router.

  1. Change the default login information. Once you log into the router, click Gateway > Connection and select WiFi. When you see your WiFi network name, click Edit and scroll down to the box that says Change Password. Type your new password into the field and save it.
  2. Change your SSID (the name of your network). Again, click Gateway > Connection > WiFi. Find your WiFi name listed and click Edit. Here, you can change your network name and save it.
  3. Update your router. If there's any new security features or updates available, make sure to update your router to protect it against external threats.

These three steps will optimize your router's security and performance, as well as make it easier to find among other available networks.

What is the Xfinity router default login?

If you haven't yet changed your Xfinity router's default username or password, you can first log in using the default data. The Xfinity default router login is admin/password. Both the username and password are case sensitive, so take intention to avoid any accidental capitalizations or spaces.

Check the full default router login chart for admin passwords and usernames to other WiFi routers, such as Asus and Netgear. You can also find all Xfinity default passwords, the Xfinity admin IP, and other information in the chart. Then, once you're in, you can change the Xfinity WiFi password.

If you changed your Xfinity router default password but forgot it, you can perform a factory reset. This will reboot the system and reset the router username and password with the factory default login, listed above. To reset the router, locate the small reset button on the back of the router. Press and hold the button for a few moments until your router's lights blink.

Additionally, be aware that resetting your router clears any custom configurations that the user has previously set up. If you set up port forwarding on your device, for example, you will need to reestablish those router settings after successfully logging in to the Xfinity router.
