How to Log in to Your Origin Modem
🔌 Step 1: Connect Your Device
Connect your phone, laptop, or PC to the Origin modem — either over Wi-Fi or using an Ethernet cable.
🌐 Step 2: Open a Web Browser
Once connected, open up your browser and type in one of these default IP addresses into the address bar:
Then hit Enter and you’ll land on the modem login page.
🔐 Step 3: Enter the Default Login Info
Now comes the gateway to your modem settings. Try the default login credentials:
- Username:
admin
- Password:
admin
or sometimespassword
If that doesn’t work, check the label on the bottom or back of your modem — they usually slap the default credentials right there.
Changing Your Origin Wi-Fi Name & Password

- Go to Wireless Settings or Wi-Fi Configuration.
- Change the SSID (your network name) to something fun or personal.
- Enter a new password — strong and secure.
- Hit Save or Apply.
