How To Access A Comcast Wireless Gateway

There are times when you may need to access a Comcast wireless gateway’s administration site to modify, verify or make other changes that are necessary.

The guide below will show you step by step how to access and log into  the Comcast wireless gateway administration site.

Open a web browser and type “http://10.0.0.1” (without quotations) in the main address bar. This will take you to the  wireless gateway’s administration site as shown below.

The default log in credentials are:

Username: admin

Password: password

Once you enter the login information click the “LOGIN” button.
