Can’t open the page
The website not found or page not found problem can be caused by any of the following causes:
- There is no access to the local network: This happens when we try to access, but there is no connection to the local network. If you are connected via WiFi , check that you are connected to the same network as your modem and that you have signal range to your device. If you are connected via Ethernet, check that the cable is connected properly. You should also verify that your modem is connected correctly.
- Incorrect gateway address: This happens when we try to access and this is not the IP address of our gateway. Some common IP addresses to connect to the gateway are: 192.168.1.254, 10.0.0.1, 192.168.100.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.8.1. Check the brands of the accepted modems in the links above.
- Spelling error: Although the address is easy to access through the navigation bar, it is possible to have written a different text and therefore there is no direct access. Some of the most common errors are: 192.168.10, 192.168.l0.1, 192.168.101, 192.168.10., 192.168 l0 1 and 192168101.
Private IP address range
Since 192.168.10.1 is a private IP address, and also a gateway for a local network, there is a range of assignable IP addresses for the network within the scope of that IP. This range of IP addresses encompasses assignable addresses ranging from 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254.
Despite the limited range according to the network mask used, the possibility of using more private IP addresses is determined in RFC 1918, giving rise to a good margin of devices simultaneously connected to our network, which it can hardly be achieved on a home network.
Public IP address assignment
Public IP addresses are assigned directly by the internet service provider. The public IP address belongs to a range of unreserved addresses and has direct access to the outside network, that is, the internet.
As the public IP address has access to the internet, it must contain a firewall and filters at the gateway level to avoid hacking or security problems in the internal network.
Normally activating the firewall, by restricting all traffic other than the ports used for browsing, is the safest way to avoid all types of attacks, however we can block basic services for our network; For this it is better to use the firewall with the default configuration by the provider, to provide a good level of security to our home network.
To find out your public IP address, you can use a service like whatismyip, where your public IP is displayed, as well as your ISP provider and other basic information about your public network such as location.
Change feasible setting in 192.168.10.1
By entering your administration panel, you can change the following information configured by default on your device:
- Network name and access password
- Device Control: Block Unknown Devices
- Firewall Rules: Advanced Firewall Rules
- Parental control
- Other filters available, according to the brand of your modem, even if they all access through the same IP address.
In addition to the changes, you can monitor the devices currently connected to your network (or historically from the past days and months) to detect possible intruders that could have hacked the network. Even when that is possible, it is possible to detect them in your administration panel.
Uses of the IP address 192.168.10.1

How to change my IP address
If you want to change an IP address manually (or statically), you will have to assign the IP address using one of the following methods according to the operating system you have:
- Windows:
- Select Start> Settings> Network and Internet.
- At this point you can select two configuration options:
- To configure an IP address via WiFi, select Wi-Fi> Manage known networks> your network name> Properties.
- Using an Ethernet (wired) network, select Ethernet and the network you are connected to.
- Select edit and select the IP address that you want to assign to your computer manually (static), in particular you could select 192.168.10.x, where x is any number between 2 and 254, if your gateway is at this address IP.
- Some examples of valid IP addresses for your computer could be 192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.30, 192.168.10.254.
- MacOS:
- Select your Launchpad> System Preferences> Network> Advanced> TCP / IP.
- Select to use DHCP with manual address.
- Enter an IP address in the range 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254, considering your gateway is 192.168.10.1.
- Linux:
- Set your IP address using the command:
- ip addr add [IP address] [network interface]
- For example: ip addr add 192.168.10.254 eth0
- Remember that you must select an IP address in the range from 192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254 if your gateway address is 192.168.10.1.
- For this procedure you use the Linux console, therefore the method can be performed in any Linux distribution in the same way.
