Change the default password after logging in

Default credentials for Cox routers are publicly documented, so if your router still uses one, change the admin password immediately to a strong, unique password. Leaving the default in place lets anyone on your network reconfigure the router. Many newer Cox models instead ship with a unique password printed on the device label - if yours does, use that.

Open a browser and go to http://192.168.0.1, then sign in with the credentials above. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see how to log in to 192.168.0.1. If you don't know a changed password, you can reset the router to restore the default.

Frequently asked questions

What is the default password for a Cox router?

Cox Panoramic Wifi gateways are managed through the Cox app; the admin tool uses admin / password, and Hitron-based units use cusadmin / password. Many newer routers also print a unique password on the device label, so check the sticker on your unit first.

What is the default IP address for a Cox router?

Cox routers most commonly use 192.168.0.1. Because the address can be changed, confirm it by checking your device's default gateway.

The default Cox password doesn't work - what should I do?

Either the password was changed, or your model uses a unique per-device password printed on the label. Check the sticker on the router, then factory reset it to restore the default credentials if needed.
