10.0.1.1 is a IP address which is generally assigned to devices inside a local network which has been configured to use this particular class of IPs. There are many different broadband routers like Apple’s Airport Express, Belkin and D-link model of routers which use 10.0.1.1 as their default gateway address.

Often times it may be assigned to other devices by mistake. To avoid confusion you may have to get rid those devices of this IP. To do this you need to login into 10.0.1.1 and block all the devices.

Interestingly you can even change the default gateway of certain routers to 10.0.1.1 , the reason being 10.0.1.1 DNS assigned to a router is very easy to remember. When it comes to setting the IP address for a certain home network, then you can have that as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.100.1

FAQs

1. 10.0.1.1 is not working

If you can’t access 10.0.1.1 then you can use the method of port mapping. To use the same, use the process as follows

Connect to the base stations wireless network. If you have either Airport extreme base station or time capsule, you can connect to their very own base station using ethernet cable.

1.1 Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the host device.

(Note this is the device that you want to access from a remote location.)

1. AirPort Utility > Select the base station > Edit > Network tab
2. Verify that the option Router Mode = DHCP and NAT
3. Click the “+” (Add) button under DHCP Reservations.
4. Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
5. Reserve address by: MAC Address
6. MAC Address: <enter the MAC (what Apple calls Ethernet ID if you are using wired or AirPort ID if wireless) hardware address of the host computer>
7. IP Address: <enter the desired Private (LAN-side) IP  that you want to reserve from the DHCP pool of addresses>
8. Click “Save”

1.2 Setup Port Mapping on the base station.

1. AirPort Utility > Select the base station > Edit > Network tab
2. Click the “+” (Add) button under Port Mapping.
3. Description: <enter the desired description for what you are mapping>
4. Public UDP Ports: <enter the appropriate UDP port value(s)>
5. Public TCP Ports: <enter the appropriate TCP port value(s)>
6. Private IP Address: <enter the reserved IP of the host device (from step 1)>
7. Private UDP Ports: <enter the same Public UDP Ports or your choice>
8. Private TCP Ports: <enter the same Public TCP Ports or your choice>
9. Click “Save”

2. Can’t Connect to 10.0.1.1

If 10.0.1.1 refuses to connect then there is a high chance that the problem is with the Apple’s hardware and not your system from which you are accessing the default login gateway. It can also happen with the Belkin 1port modem.

You need Apple’s magic Airport Utility to set up the router so that you can port forward 10.0.1.1. Now you simply have to forward the ports you want to the internal address of your server that maybe between 10.0.1.2 and 10.0.1.254.
