“—” means there is no factory value: the field is left empty or a unique password is printed on the router’s label.
Default credentials work only until someone changes them. If none of these pairs fits, the password was changed; a factory reset restores the default.

Actiontec routers usually come from your provider
Most Actiontec routers in homes were supplied by an internet provider — Verizon Fios, CenturyLink, Frontier, Telus and others — with the provider’s settings. That is why the address and password differ from unit to unit. Start with the label on the router: on most provider units it lists the admin password.
Address and login by router
- Verizon Fios MI424WR (the long-time Fios router): 192.168.1.1, username
admin, passwordpasswordon early units; later units use the password on the label. - CenturyLink DSL gateways (C1000A, C3000A and similar): 192.168.0.1, with the admin username and password printed on the label.
- Telus units: 192.168.1.254.
How to log in
- Connect to the Actiontec router by Wi-Fi or cable.
- Type its address into the browser — if you are not sure which, look at the “default gateway” in your device’s network details.
- Enter the admin username and password from the label. If there is none, try
admin/password.
If the label password does not work
Someone may have changed it: installers sometimes set their own password during the visit. Ask the provider’s support — they can often tell you the installer’s password or reset it remotely. A factory reset also works, but read the next section first.
Factory reset
With the router on, press and hold the recessed Reset button for about 10 seconds, then release it. The password returns to the one on the label (or to admin / password on older units). On provider routers the reset can also erase the internet connection settings; for DSL service you may need the connection username and password from your provider to get back online.
Actiontec: frequently asked questions
What is the default Actiontec router password?
On most units it is printed on the label. Early units such as the Verizon MI424WR used admin / password.

192.168.1.1 for the Verizon MI424WR, 192.168.0.1 for CenturyLink DSL gateways, 192.168.1.254 for Telus units.
Who can help if I cannot log in?
The provider that supplied the router: it knows the settings it used and can often reset the password remotely.
Will a reset cut my internet?
It can, on provider units: the connection settings are erased with everything else. Keep the provider’s details at hand before resetting.
