Arris Router Login & Setup Guide: Everything You Need to Know

Arris routers are widely trusted for their dependable performance and fast internet speeds. Since they come with a built-in modem, there’s no need for a separate router—you can connect your Arris device directly to a coaxial splitter using a coax cable.

Whether you're using an older Arris model or have just bought a new one, this guide will walk you through setting it up, accessing the router settings, updating WiFi credentials, and solving common connectivity issues.

????️ Step 1: Installing Your Arris Router

Setting up the router correctly from the beginning ensures smooth performance down the line. Here's what you need to do:

What’s Included:

• Arris router

• Power adapter

• Ethernet cable

• User manual (usually in the box)

Installation Steps:

1. Place the router in a central area of your home for the best WiFi coverage.

2. Connect the router to the coaxial splitter using a coaxial cable.

3. Plug in the power adapter and connect it to a wall outlet.

Wait for the router’s lights to stabilize—this means it’s powered on and initializing.

???? Step 2: Accessing the Arris Router Settings

Once the router is powered up, you’ll need to access its interface to finish the setup.

Here’s how:

1. Connect your device (computer/laptop) to the router using WiFi or an Ethernet cable.

2. Open any web browser and enter 192.168.0.1 into the address bar, then press Enter.

3. You’ll be prompted to log in. Use the default username and password found on the router’s label or in the manual.

4. After logging in, go to the wireless settings section.

5. Turn on the 2.4 GHz and/or 5 GHz wireless bands as needed.

6. Set a custom WiFi name (SSID) and password.

7. Save your changes to finish the setup.

Your Arris router is now ready for use!

???? Step 3: Updating Your WiFi Password

If your WiFi password has been shared with too many people—or you think it’s been compromised—changing it can help restore speed and security.

To update your WiFi password:

1. Make sure you’re connected to the router’s network.

2. Access the router’s interface using the previous steps.

3. In the wireless settings, locate the Pre-shared Key field (this shows your current password).

4. Delete the old password and enter a new one.

5. Click Apply to save the changes.

You can also update your WiFi network name (SSID) here if you want to personalize it.

???? Having Trouble Accessing the Router Interface?

If you’re unable to access the router settings page, try these troubleshooting tips:

• Use a modern, updated browser.

• Clear your browser’s cache and cookies.

• Double-check that you’ve entered the correct IP address: 192.168.0.1.

• Ensure the default username and password are correct.

• Temporarily turn off VPNs or firewall software while logging in.
