Comcast offers a range of durable and efficient routers that works smoothly. Like every router, you need to log in into the dashboard of these routers to set a password and configure them for your use. So, here, we are going to tell you how to login to the Comcast router.

Comcast Router Login Process

Logging into the Comcast router is easy, but it can’t happen if you are not connected to it.

• Connect to your router using wired or wireless connection.
• Open a browser and go to 10.0.0.1. This default router gateway will take you to the login screen.
• Enter admin in the place of username and the password.
• Click on submit.

You are logged into the router dashboard. Now use the change password option at the right side of the admin panel to create a new and a strong password. This will protect your network and data from being hacked and misused.
