Running a business and dealing with tech stuff at the same time? I feel you! Logging into your Cox Business router is actually simpler than it sounds — and once you’re in, you can tweak your network to run smoother than ever. So grab a coffee ☕ and let’s knock this out.
How to Log in to Your Cox Business Router
✅ Step 1: Connect to the Network
Make sure your device (PC, laptop, or mobile) is connected to the Cox Business network — either via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable.
🌐 Step 2: Access the Router Login Page
Open a browser and type in the router’s IP address. Common ones for Cox Business are:
- http://192.168.0.1
- http://192.168.100.1
- Or check the label on the router for a specific IP
Hit Enter, and the login screen should pop up.
🔐 Step 3: Enter Login Credentials
At the login page, type in the default username and password:
- Username:
admin
- Password:
password
oradmin
Still locked out? No worries — your specific login info may be printed on the router itself, or your IT admin may have customized it.
Changing Wi-Fi Name & Password on a Cox Business Router
Let’s personalize your network — because “COXBIZ123” doesn’t exactly scream secure, right?
- Log in to your Cox Business router.
- Go to Wireless Settings or Wi-Fi Configuration.
- Update the SSID (Wi-Fi name).
- Set a strong Wi-Fi password.
- Click Apply/Save to confirm.
🔒 Pro Tip: Use a password that’s business-grade strong — think passphrases, symbols, caps, and all that jazz.
Resetting Your Cox Business Router
Forgot your login? Or router acting all weird? It’s reset time.
🔁 Factory Reset Instructions:
- Find the reset button — it’s usually a tiny pinhole on the back.
- Use a paperclip to press and hold it for 10–15 seconds.
- Wait for the lights to blink and the router to reboot.
It’ll now be back to factory default settings, meaning any customizations (like Wi-Fi name/password) will be gone.
