How to log in to a CenturyLink modem

Connect to the modem by Wi-Fi or with an Ethernet cable.
Open 192.168.0.1 in the browser. This is the address CenturyLink’s help pages use for the modem settings.
Sign in with the Admin Username and Admin Password printed on the sticker on the side, back or bottom of the modem.

There is no shared password for all CenturyLink modems: each unit has its own pair on the sticker. The one model listed in our database, the EQ-660HW, shows 192.168.2.1 instead, so if 192.168.0.1 does not answer, check your default gateway.

Two different logins on the same sticker

Admin Username and Admin Password open the modem settings at 192.168.0.1.
Network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password connect your phones and laptops. CenturyLink stresses that these are separate from the admin login.

CenturyLink also warns not to remove the sticker: the default admin credentials printed on it cannot be retrieved if they are lost.

Forgot a changed admin password

If you set your own admin password and forgot it, CenturyLink’s instructions are to reset the modem and sign in again with the defaults from the sticker. A reset also clears your Wi-Fi name, password and other changes, so you will need to set them again.

Your own router behind the modem

If you connect your own router to the CenturyLink modem, its settings are on the router’s own address with its own brand defaults. Look it up in our brand list, and see what to do when the router does not connect to the modem.
