10.0.0.138 Modem Login Guide
Not working? Check the label on the back or bottom of your router.
10.0.0.138 is the factory admin address of a family of DSL and VDSL modems still found in Israel, Australia and Austria. If your provider is Bezeq, Belong, or a provider on A1's network, open http://10.0.0.138 while connected to the modem, then sign in with the username and password for your model: Belong publishes admin / Belong for several of its modems, while others print the details on the label. The number looks odd next to the usual 192.168.1.1, but it is just a private address like any other.
Find your provider below for the right password and quirks.
Default usernames and passwords

How to log in
- Connect your computer to the modem with a network cable, or join its WiFi.
- Open a browser and type http://10.0.0.138 in the address bar.
- When the login box appears, enter the username and password for your model (see the table).
- If the modem goes straight to a home screen, no password is set; create one right away.
- Use the Wireless or WiFi menu for network name and password changes.
- Click Save or Apply and wait for the modem to restart its WiFi.
Change the default admin password as soon as you're in.
Why some modems use 10.0.0.138
Private networks can use three blocks of addresses: 192.168.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x and 10.x.x.x. Most consumer routers pick the first, but a number of DSL modems built for European and Australian operators use the 10.0.0.x block and put the admin page at .138. Your devices then receive addresses such as 10.0.0.2 or 10.0.0.15. It works exactly like 192.168.1.1; only the number is different.
Israel: Bezeq
Bezeq has supplied VDSL customers with modem-routers such as the D-Link DSL-6850U, which answers on 10.0.0.138. Bezeq routers are usually managed remotely by the operator, so the customer login may expose only part of the settings. If you need something the menu does not offer, such as a full bridge setup, ask Bezeq support rather than looking for a hidden account.
Australia: Belong and older Telstra-family modems
Belong's own support pages list 10.0.0.138 for the DWA0122, Belong 4353 and Sagemcom 4315 modems, with username admin and password Belong. Its older Technicolor TG797 ADSL modem also uses 10.0.0.138 and normally opens without a login. The newer DWA4135 is different: it uses 192.168.1.254 and has its password on the back.
Current Telstra Smart Modems do not use 10.0.0.138; Telstra points customers to 192.168.0.1 instead.
Austria: modems on A1 lines
Austrian users meet 10.0.0.138 on Technicolor modems handed out for A1-based ADSL and VDSL connections, including by smaller providers that resell A1 lines, and on older Alcatel-era modems before that. Newer A1 hardware may use another address, so if 10.0.0.138 does not respond, check the gateway on your device.
Confirm the address on your device
- Windows: run
ipconfig; the Default Gateway should read 10.0.0.138. - Android: tap your WiFi network > details > Gateway.
- iPhone: Settings > Wi-Fi > (i) > Router.
- Mac or Linux: in Terminal,
netstat -nr | grep default(Mac) orip route(Linux).
A different gateway means your own router sits behind the modem; to reach the modem, connect a cable straight to it.
If 10.0.0.138 does not respond
- Check the cable is in a LAN port, not the DSL or WAN socket.
- Disconnect from any VPN.
- Set your network adapter to get an address automatically.
- If your computer shows an address starting with 169.254, the modem is not handing out addresses. Restart it and wait two minutes.
- Try another browser; very old admin pages can be fussy about modern ones.
- If the password fails, a reset restores the factory login, but on ISP-managed modems you may lose your connection settings. Have your provider's details ready, or ask them first.
Change the WiFi name and password
On most of these modems the path is Wireless (or Wi-Fi) > Basic or Setup for the network name, and Wireless Security for the key. Select WPA2-PSK (AES), enter a long passphrase, save, and reconnect your devices. On Bezeq units, if the WiFi page is missing, the operator may manage it for you.
Security on older modems
- Change the admin password from any published default such as Belong's, since anyone on your WiFi could otherwise log in.
- Turn off WPS and remote management.
- Many of these modems no longer get firmware updates; if yours is very old, ask your provider about a replacement.
- Never use WEP; it can be broken in minutes.
Typed it wrong?
Addresses like 10.0.0.l38, 10.0.0.183 or 10.o.o.138 will not connect. Run them through the IP Typo Fixer to get the right one.

Frequently asked questions
What is the default password for 10.0.0.138?
It depends on the provider. Belong documents admin / Belong for its DWA0122, 4353 and 4315 modems. Bezeq and Austrian modems carry their details on the label or from the provider.
Does Telstra still use 10.0.0.138?
Not on current Smart Modems, which use 192.168.0.1. Only older modems in the Telstra family, such as some Belong units, use 10.0.0.138.
Why can I not change everything on my Bezeq router?
Bezeq typically manages its routers remotely, so some settings are locked. Contact Bezeq for changes outside the customer menu.
Is 10.0.0.138 a public address?
No. It belongs to the private 10.x.x.x block and only works inside your network. Check your public address with What Is My IP.
My modem's gateway is 10.0.0.1, not 10.0.0.138. Why?
You likely have a different model. See our 10.0.0.1 guide.
Can I change the modem to 192.168.1.1?
Usually yes, in the LAN settings, unless your provider locked them. Write down the new address before saving.
