What is the default Spectrum router IP address?

The default Spectrum router IP should be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. However, if these IPs don’t work, you can find the IP address on the back of your modem or router or check the user manual for the correct IP address. Alternatively, you can find the IP address by checking your device’s network settings.

What if I forgot my Spectrum router/modem admin password?

If you forgot your admin password, you could reset your modem or router to its factory default settings. Look for the router reset button on the back of your device, and use a paperclip or any pin to press and hold the button for 10-15 seconds. The device will reboot, and the default username and password will be restored. Remember that this will also reset any custom settings you may have had.

Can I have different names and passwords for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands?
