10.0.0.138 router login
To open the admin panel, type 10.0.0.138 into your browser's address bar. If the page does not load, this is probably not the gateway address on your network — see the checks below.
10.0.0.138 router passwords
6 default username and password pairs have been reported for devices answering on 10.0.0.138, ordered by how often each one is seen.
| Username / Password | Percentage |
|---|---|
| blank / blank | 39% |
| admin / admin | 38% |
| (nodefault) / (nodefault) | 8% |
| admin / blank | 8% |
| blank / (printedonthebottomofthedevice) | 4% |
| Telek0m / Austria&Eur0 | 4% |
No credential list can honestly be tied to 10.0.0.138 itself, since the address is private and reused on unrelated networks. What has been reported for devices reached on this block skews heavily to weak or absent factory logins: admin / admin accounts for about 38 percent of reported pairs, roughly 35 percent report no username and no password at all, 8 percent state there is no factory default, and a further 8 percent use admin with a blank password. Small remainders of about 4 percent each mention an empty pair, a password printed on the underside of the unit, and the pair Telek0m / Austria&Eur0. For the Comcast cable modems noted above, cusadmin / highspeed is the documented default.
Routers that use 10.0.0.138 as their default gateway

How to log in to your router
Type 10.0.0.138 into your browser's address bar and press Enter. Type it by hand rather than accepting an autocomplete suggestion, which often fills in a different address you visited before.
If the browser reports that it cannot reach 10.0.0.138, this is not the gateway address on your network. On Windows run ipconfig /all and read the Default Gateway line; on macOS open System Settings, Network, Details, TCP/IP; on Linux run ip route and read the address after "default via".
If the login page loads but rejects your credentials, and you have never changed them, use the defaults printed on the device's label. If they have been changed and nobody knows the new password, a factory reset is the only way back in.
If you do not know the password
Check the device label before resetting anything: many units print their own default login, and on the cable modems associated with this subnet the Wi-Fi name and passphrase are printed there too. If a reset is unavoidable and the device is one of the SMC or Arris cable modems, the method is a pinhole — with the unit powered on, hold the recessed button with a straightened paperclip, commonly for 10 to 30 seconds, until the status lights cycle.
A reset costs you the entire configuration. Wi-Fi credentials revert to the sticker values, so every wireless device must be rejoined, and port forwards, firewall rules, static DHCP reservations and custom DNS entries are lost. On ISP-managed units some settings are re-pushed remotely afterwards, which can take several minutes.

Troubleshooting 10.0.0.138
Confirm whether .138 is your gateway
Because 10.0.0.138 is not a typical gateway position, verify before assuming. On Windows run ipconfig /all and read the Default Gateway line for your active adapter. On Linux run ip route and take the address after 'default via'. On macOS open System Settings, Network, then Details for the active interface and check the TCP/IP tab. On most networks using this subnet the answer will be 10.0.0.1.
Nothing answers at 10.0.0.138
Mid-range addresses like .138 are usually DHCP leases, and leases move. Ping the address, then check your ARP table (arp -a on Windows and macOS, ip neigh on Linux) to see whether a MAC address is still associated with it. If the entry is gone, the device has been renumbered, powered off, or moved to a different subnet, and no web interface will load.
Check the address digit by digit
10.0.0.138 is easy to mistype. 10.0.0.13 and 10.0.0.18 are separate hosts in the same subnet and may well answer, giving you a device you did not intend to reach. 10.0.138.1 and 10.138.0.1 are different subnets entirely inside 10.0.0.0/8. Type the address into the address bar rather than a search box, since four dotted numbers are often treated as a search query.
HTTP, HTTPS and non-standard ports
Try http://10.0.0.138 first. Many embedded interfaces on private addresses still serve plain HTTP, and forcing HTTPS produces a connection error rather than a login page. If HTTPS does respond, expect a certificate warning, since no public certificate authority issues certificates for RFC 1918 addresses. Cameras, printers and access points frequently listen on 8080, 8443 or 631 instead of 80.
The login page loads but rejects you
Try the label on the device before guessing. Given the reported spread for this block, an empty username with an empty password is worth attempting, as is admin with a blank password, since together those account for a substantial share of reported cases. Many interfaces lock out for several minutes after repeated failures, so pause between attempts rather than cycling through lists quickly.
You are on a different 10.x network
10.0.0.0/8 is subnetted in many ways, so an address you saw documented elsewhere may not exist locally. If your own address is 10.12.4.x with a 255.255.255.0 mask, 10.0.0.138 is off-subnet and reachable only if a router between the two segments permits it. Corporate and VPN networks routinely block that kind of cross-subnet management access by policy.
Questions about 10.0.0.138
Is 10.0.0.138 a router address?
Usually not. It sits at host position 138 of the 10.0.0.0/24 range, and gateways are conventionally placed at 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.254. Nothing prevents an administrator from assigning .138 to a router, but by default it falls inside the range DHCP hands out to ordinary clients. On networks using this subnet, the administration interface is far more often at 10.0.0.1.
Who owns 10.0.0.138 and where is it located?
Nobody, and nowhere. 10.0.0.0/8 is private space reserved by RFC 1918 for anyone to use on internal networks, so the address is not allocated to a company, an ISP or a country. Any lookup tool reporting a city, provider or registrant for it is wrong. The only meaningful answer is whichever device holds the address on the specific network you are connected to.
What is the default password for 10.0.0.138?
There is no password belonging to the address itself, only to whatever device holds it. For devices reported on this block, admin / admin is the most common pair at around 38 percent, with about 35 percent reporting no credentials at all. Xfinity and Comcast SMC and Arris cable modems are documented with cusadmin / highspeed. Otherwise, read the sticker on the device or its manual.
How do I find out which device is using 10.0.0.138?
Open your router's administration page, usually at 10.0.0.1 on this subnet, and look at the DHCP client or attached-devices list. It maps each leased address to a hostname and MAC address. Alternatively, ping 10.0.0.138 and then read arp -a on Windows or macOS, or ip neigh on Linux, to get the MAC address; its first three bytes identify the hardware manufacturer.
Why can I not reach 10.0.0.138 from outside my network?
Private addresses are not routed across the internet. Traffic sent to 10.0.0.138 from another network is dropped by the first upstream router, and if it were delivered it would land on that network's own .138. To reach the device remotely you need a VPN into the network, or a port forward on the gateway pointing to it, which is worth setting up only for a device you control.
My Xfinity modem is at 10.0.0.1, so what is 10.0.0.138?
On that setup .138 is simply one of the addresses the modem has leased to a connected device. The default pool covers a large part of the 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.254 range, and .138 falls well inside it. Check the connected-devices list in the modem interface to identify it. The address is not fixed, so the same device may appear at a different number after a reboot.
Should I give a device a static 10.0.0.138 address?
A DHCP reservation on the router is safer than a manually configured static address, because it keeps the assignment in one place and prevents the same address being leased to something else. If you do configure it manually, use the correct mask for your segment, commonly 255.255.255.0, point the gateway at your actual router address, and pick a value outside the DHCP pool to avoid a conflict.
10.0.0.138 belongs to 10.0.0.0/8, the largest of the three ranges RFC 1918 sets aside for private use. With a netmask of 255.0.0.0 the block holds 16,777,216 addresses, and it turns up in corporate and campus networks, ISP-managed customer equipment, carrier-grade gear, VPN address pools and container or orchestration networks, nearly always subnetted far below /8. Because the block is private, the same address is in simultaneous use on countless unrelated networks. It has no owner, no registrant, no ISP and no geographic location, and routers on the public internet discard traffic addressed to it, so 10.0.0.138 only means something inside whichever network you are currently attached to.
Within a conventional 10.0.0.0/24 segment the usable host range runs from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.254, with 10.0.0.255 reserved as the broadcast address. 10.0.0.138 sits at the 138th host position, which is not one of the positions equipment vendors normally reserve for a gateway; that role usually falls to 10.0.0.1 or, less often, 10.0.0.254. Addresses in the middle of the range are much more commonly handed out by DHCP, so whatever answers at .138 is more likely a laptop, phone, printer, camera or access point than the router itself.
One vendor family is documented shipping this subnet on the LAN side: Xfinity / Comcast SMC and Arris cable modems, which commonly present their administration page at the .1 gateway address using cusadmin / highspeed as the factory login. On such a network 10.0.0.138 would be a leased client, not the modem. Most people looking this address up have found it in a DHCP client list, an ARP table, a firewall log or a printer status sheet and want to know what is answering there. Interest is slight — roughly eight searches a year — which is consistent with a client lease rather than a gateway.
10.0.0.138 is often mistyped. These all refer to the same address:
l0.0.0.l38, 1o.o.o.138, 10.0..0.138, 10 0 0 138, 10.0.0.138..
The most common slip is typing a lower-case letter L in place of the digit 1, or the letter O in place of a zero.
