10.0.28.1 router login
To open the admin panel, type 10.0.28.1 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.
10.0.28.1 router passwords
Where to find them:
- The label on the underside or back of the router — most manufacturers print the default admin username, password and Wi-Fi key there.
- The quick-start card or manual that came in the box.
- Your ISP's account portal, if the device was supplied by them — many set a unique password per line rather than a shared default.
Even though this is a typical gateway position, no default username and password is documented for 10.0.28.1, and none is guessed here. Gateways in 10.0.0.0/8 are frequently ISP-supplied or centrally managed with unique per-unit passwords. Look for the credentials on the device's label, in the manual for that model, or in the paperwork provided with the connection.
How to log in to your router
Type 10.0.28.1 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 10.0.28.1, 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
Losing the password to a gateway is more disruptive than losing it on a client, because a factory reset takes the whole network down with it. The reset button clears WAN settings, port forwards, firewall rules and any DHCP reservations, and returns the Wi-Fi name and key to the label defaults. On ISP-managed hardware, ask the provider first, as they can often restore access remotely.
10.0.28.1 comes from 10.0.0.0/8, the widest block of private address space in RFC 1918, holding 16,777,216 addresses under the netmask 255.0.0.0. Networks that pick it almost always subnet it aggressively, and it shows up across corporate and campus LANs, ISP-managed home gateways, carrier-grade equipment, VPN assignment pools and container networking. Under a /24 mask the address heads the subnet 10.0.28.0/24, whose usable hosts run from 10.0.28.1 to 10.0.28.254 and whose broadcast address is 10.0.28.255.
Being the first usable address, this is the position most often given to the default gateway for its subnet, so a router, firewall or layer-3 switch interface is a reasonable expectation, though only your own network's configuration confirms it. That is why people typically arrive looking for it: they have found it listed as the default gateway on a connected machine and want to open its management interface. 91 other addresses in the same /24 are documented here.

Comment: These addresses are in use by many millions of independently operated networks, which might be as small as a single computer connected to a home gateway, and are automatically configured in hundreds of millions of devices. They are only intended for use within a private context and traffic that needs to cross the Internet will need to use a different, unique address.
