“—” 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.

Apple routers: the AirPort line

Apple’s routers were the AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express and AirPort Time Capsule base stations. Apple has discontinued the line, but many are still in use. Our database lists 18 AirPort models, and none has a default username or password: AirPort settings are protected by a password you set yourself.

AirPort has no web page

Unlike most routers, an AirPort base station is not configured in a browser. Its settings open in the AirPort Utility app on a Mac, iPhone or iPad. Typing the base station’s address into a browser shows nothing.

  1. Connect to the AirPort network.
  2. Open AirPort Utility and select the base station.
  3. Enter the base station password set during setup, then change settings and choose Update.

The 10.0.1.1 address

Apple’s support documentation gives 10.0.1.1 as the default address of the AirPort Extreme; devices on an AirPort network get addresses like 10.0.1.2 and up. If your gateway shows 10.0.1.1, you are most likely on an AirPort network.

When AirPort Utility does not find the base station

  • You are on another network. Check your default gateway.
  • The base station is in bridge mode behind another router; it then takes its address from that router.
  • The password is lost. A reset of the base station clears it, and you set it up again in AirPort Utility.
