1. Connect to the Arris network
The Arris Web interface can be accessed only by devices that are part of the network. Therefore, connect your device to the network using the network cable or use the wireless connection.
2. Launch Your Web Browser
If you want to access the web-based utility or the router’s control panel, you need to use a web browser. All devices have it so launch the one you already use. Internet Explorer or Edge, Firefox or Chrome, there is no difference in this situation.
3. Enter the Arris router IP address in the web browser’s URL bar
The Arris router default login IP is 192.168.0.1 or in some cases the Arris IP is 192.168.100.1. Type the IP address in the URL bar and press Enter. A login page will appear asking you to enter a username and default password.
In case you see a Warning screen telling you the Site is not secure or that there is Potential Security Risk continue with no worries. Just click on Advanced and then Proceed or Continue.
3. Enter the default or custom login details in the Arris router admin login page.
The default Arris router login details are:
Username is admin
Password is password or the Wi-Fi Security Key (Pre Shared key). (You can find it printed on a label on the router)
* If you have changed the default username and password before login with the new username and password.

Final Words
Now you know the Arris router login steps and you can easily customize the router settings. Please note that we highly recommend keeping track on the changes you make or even backup the current router settings before changing anything. This way you can modify the router settings without having to worry that you will mess things up.
However even if you mess up the settings and your network stops working, you can reset your router to factory settings and login with the default login credentials and set up the network again. However, we don’t recommend you to do this if you are not 100% sure about the default credentials.
