10.0.0.2 is an IP address which is found on several local computer networks, especially business networks. Network routers which have 10.0.0.1 as their default local gateway address are usually configured to support a subnet with the client IP address as 10.0.0.2. It is the default address for certain home broadband routers from Edimax, Zoon, Siemens, and Micronet. Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) describes a range of internet protocols which are specifically for private use, which means that they cannot be used for public networks like web servers or other internet hosts.
These IP addresses start from the range of 10.0.0.0. This protocol became popular because corporate networks wanted flexibility in allocating a large number of IP addresses so naturally opted to the 10.0.0.0 network with 10.0.0.2 as their default gateway.

How to Log into 10.0.0.2 From A Device
Logging into 10.0.0.2 is the same as logging in to any other protocol:
- First and principal, you need to connect the router to your device. The connection may be wired or wireless, but it is absolutely necessary to have the connection. Oppositely, you will not be capable to login to the network.
- Enter the IP address as an URL like http://10.0.0.2 into your browser.
- The login page will appear.
- Enter your username and password. You can either enter the default ones or if you have changed them, enter those.
- The router settings page will appear upon successful login.
Assigning IP Address
See:
Automatic Assignment
Firstly, the address is either automatically assigned by the router itself. This is usually done in computers which support DHCP. The router is set up to manage a particular type of network in a given range, and the router automatically decides which address to assign from what is called the DHCP pool. Therefore, usually, the router which sets up a local network of 10.0.0.1 assigns a client network of 10.0.0.2.
Manual Assignment
You can also assign your IP address manually on most modern networks. This is called a static IP address. To do this, you must enter the address 10.0.0.2 into a network setting configuration on your device. But merely entering the text does not guarantee the assignment of the IP address, the local router must also be configured to support 10.0.0.2 in its supported network range.
Changing Default Password & Username
You will want to change your default username and password to secure your network from hackers and malicious advances. Changing your username and password for your network is not at all problematic. Just follow the given steps:
- Go to http://10.0.0.2
- Enter the current login credentials.
- Since the default login credentials are pretty much publicly available, you should change it as soon as possible. Accessing the administrator page will enable you to change the default username and password. Make sure you set it to something unique.
- Set a unique SSID. If left unchanged, your network credentials will be easy to guess, and anyone can access it, leaving you with no privacy. Change your SSID to something unique.
- Next, update your security settings. From the security tab of the router’s admin tool, enable the industry standard WPA2-PSK for standard encryption. Of course, if you want to, you can apply advanced encryptions.
Troubleshooting Issues

Refer:
Forgotten Password
The best way to circumvent this from occurring would be if you have stored it somewhere else or have written it down.
But in the worst case scenario, you may have to force restart your router and restore factory settings.
To reset the router, look for the reset button. The reset button is usually very small and hidden to avoid accidental resets. Press down on the reset button with a sharp object like a pin for 20-30 seconds. This will reset the router, and you can enter using default login details.
If you are still unsuccessful, contact your customer support.
10.0.0.2 Not Loading/Working
This may happen if multiple devices are trying to connect at the same time. Also, make certain you are utilizing the correct IP address for accessing the admin’s interface. (Possible mistakes maybe 10.0.0.0.2 or 10.0.02 or 10.0.2). If your IP is not working, the first step you must take is to check the IP address you are entering.
If you see the address is correct, then check the connection. Make sure that the wires are correctly connected and the cables are secure enough.
As a last resort, switch off your router and start it again. Start the login process again.
Not Accessing Admin Settings
If you see a message that “Web page not responding”, it may be because you have entered the wrong IP to get to the admin settings page.
