Why do we need to know the IP address of modems?
To log in to your modem account, you need to know its IP address. In the browser’s URL, enter the modem’s IP address and enter your username and password to reach the highest level of access (admin access). After logging in to your account, you can do things like checking the connection status, changing the password, deleting the registered events, and so on.
You also need the modem’s IP address to make computer network settings.
Find the modem username and password.
The modem’s username, password, and IP address are written on the back or side of the modem. If you have already changed your username and password and forgotten it, you can change the factory settings by inserting a paper clip or a needle into the hole in the back of the modem. Otherwise, you can search for the modem model in Google find its default username and password.
Note: If you have trouble logging in to your modem account, enter the IP address in another browser, check the physical connection, or disable web security tools.
Do modems have a unique IP address?
All modems have a unique IP address to communicate with other devices (such as computers, printers, etc.). The modem’s IP address may be different or identical to the router’s. If the device is a router modem (hybrid device), the IP address of the router and modem will probably be the same.
