To find your ONT (Optical Network Terminal) IP address, you typically need to access your ONT's web interface.
Here's how you can do it:
-
Open a web browser: Use a browser like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
-
Enter the default IP address: In the address bar, type
http://192.168.1.1
and press Enter.
Important Considerations:
- Default IP Address:
192.168.1.1
is a very common default IP address. However, your ONT's IP address might be different. Consult your ONT's documentation or your internet service provider (ISP) for the correct IP address if this doesn't work. Other common addresses include192.168.0.1
or192.168.2.1
. - Login Credentials: You'll likely be prompted for a username and password. If you haven't changed them, try the default credentials, which are often printed on a sticker on the ONT itself. Common default usernames are "admin" or "user", and common default passwords are "admin", "password", a blank password, or the serial number of the device. Contact your ISP if you cannot locate the credentials.
- After Login: Once logged in, navigate to the "Status," "Network," or similar section. The IP address will be listed, often labeled as "WAN IP Address," "Internet IP Address," or simply "IP Address."
Troubleshooting:
- Cannot Access: If you can't access the web interface, ensure your computer is connected to the ONT via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Also, verify that your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the ONT's (e.g., if the ONT is
192.168.1.1
, your computer's IP should be something like192.168.1.100
). - Contact your ISP: If you're still unable to find the IP address, contact your Internet Service Provider. They can provide you with the correct IP address and login credentials, or assist you in accessing the ONT's settings.
