Access to this IP address is not very common for most devices, however if your device belongs to any of the brands shown in the general information section, you could access the configuration.

If a device belongs to one of the previous brands and you cannot access the administration panel, you could try one of the following solutions:

Connection failures

It is a common cause of login errors. It usually happens when your device has a connectivity failure to the modem when trying to access 192.168.10.253.

Some of the common causes of connection failures are as follows:

  • If you are connected via WiFi: You must verify that you are connected to the same network as your modem, that is, to the same SSID provided by your Internet provider. You must also validate that you are within range of the signal.
  • If you are connected via Ethernet: These devices are connected by cable, therefore you must verify that your device is correctly connected to the modem.

Website not found

When the website is not found when you query in your browser, you could try one of the following solutions

  • Wrong IP address: If your modem is not from the Best Data or Pix Link brands, then the IP address to access your configuration is not 192.168.10.253. You should test if it is not one of the following addresses:
  • Misspelled address: Maybe the IP address you entered it incorrectly. You should verify that you are trying to enter 192.168.10.253 (and not 192.168.lo.253 or 192.168.l0.253).
  • It is also correct to include the protocol in your query.

DSL Failures

When the modem’s DSL light is not on, it is another cause of internet service suspension. If you don’t have the DSL focus in sight, the way to diagnose the DSL connection is by connecting to your panel at 192.168.10.253.

When doing a DSL diagnosis, a DSL fault message usually appears when the service is not working properly. Among the most common factors for DSL failures are these:

  • External factors:
    • Malfunction or cut in some part of the telephone wiring in some part of your neighborhood, or close to your home, sometimes it happens when there are natural disasters, or falling of a pole, lightning, etc.
    • Communication failures from the central station to the telephone line
  • Interior factors:
    • Damage to your installation of telephone, internet or satellite service.
    • Damaged modem: Your modem has stopped working and may require replacement by your provider’s technical support.
    • Problems with your billing: You have not paid for your service, you have a debt or you present a pending payment directly with your contracting of your service, you must solve it at your branch.

In internet failures with external factors, a report to your phone number should be enough (you do not require the presence of a technician in your home).

If you need to fix your installation or replace your modem, call the offices of your internet provider to request the change, they will raise a ticket with your report number to attend you at the time you need.

Advanced Troubleshooting

The IP address 192.168.10.253 is a private IP address within the range of addresses typically used for local area networks (LAN). If you’re trying to log in to a router or another device using this IP address and are facing difficulties, here are some common troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify the Correct IP Address

Before proceeding with other troubleshooting steps, ensure that 192.168.10.253 is indeed the IP address of the device you are trying to access.

  • Windows: Open the Command Prompt and type ipconfig. Look for the Default Gateway entry.
  • MacOS: Open Terminal, type netstat -nr | grep default, and look for the default gateway.
  • Linux: Open Terminal, type route | grep default, and check the gateway address.

2. Ensure You’re Connected to the Correct Network

  • Make sure you’re connected to the network hosted by the device with the IP address 192.168.10.253.
  • Wired connections (using an Ethernet cable) are more reliable for accessing router admin pages than wireless connections.

3. Check Your Connection

  • Ensure that all cables are properly connected.
  • Test your connection by trying to access other devices or by browsing the internet. This ensures that the network itself is active.

4. Web Browser Issues

  • Clear your web browser cache, cookies, and history.
  • Try a different web browser. Sometimes specific browsers may have issues loading certain pages.

5. Reset the Router (Last Resort)

  • If you suspect the issue might be with the router itself and you cannot access its web interface, consider performing a factory reset. However, this will erase all your settings, so use it as a last resort.
  • Typically, routers have a small pinhole button that, when pressed and held for about 10 seconds, initiates a factory reset.

6. Check for Firewalls or Security Software

  • Sometimes, security software on your computer can block access to certain IP addresses. Try disabling the software temporarily to see if that’s the issue.

7. Forgotten Username or Password

  • If you reach the login page but can’t remember the credentials, try default ones like “admin” for both fields. If you’ve changed them and can’t recall, a factory reset might be necessary.

8. Verify the IP Address Isn’t in Use

  • It’s possible that there could be an IP address conflict if another device on the network is using 192.168.10.253. This can be checked using tools like Advanced IP Scanner or by checking connected devices in your main router’s interface.
