10.1.1.1 is a default IP address mostly used by router and modem brands like iiNet<\/a>, D-Link\u2019s DSL Products as well as some Belkin routers<\/a>. If you are searching for this IP and what does it mean or how to use it, there are high chances that you use a router of one of the brands we have mentioned. The good thing though, is that you are at the right place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This article will guide you through the meaning and use of 10.1.1.1 as a default, how to use it properly and what to do in case you have problems using it. So, let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

10.1.1.1 as a default IP address<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When we speak about default IP addresses<\/a> we need to say that a default IP address is the IP assigned to the networking product by the manufacturer. It is also the IP the network assigns to the computer. In our case we have to say that the first case is what interests us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, the manufacturer assigns a default IP to the network product (wireless router, access point, wireless repeater or extender<\/a> and soon) in order to allow the user of the product to access and configure the device. Although this is a great idea, assigning the same default IP address to thousands of products, besides a default username and password, represents a security risk that has to be fixed as soon as possible. And we are going to discuss that later.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

10.1.1.1 as a Private IP address<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Class<\/th>\r\nPrivate IP Address Range (from-to)<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n
Class A<\/td>\r\n10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Class B<\/td>\r\n172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.25<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n

If you take a look at this table you will see that 10.1.1.1 is a Class A private IP address. This IP address is not routable on the Internet and because of that it can be used, and it often is used, to set up a home network.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The thing about private IP addresses in home networks is that inside one network there can\u2019t be two same IP addresses. If that happens, an IP conflict<\/a> may occur which will result in an unstable network connection or the network may end up being unusable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, there is no problem in using the same IP in another network.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When should you use 10.1.1.1?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In everyday home networking there are two situations where you need to know the default IP address. The first one is to use it to access the router (or other device\u2019s) settings. The other use is to block a device from your network.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
