When you want to login to the Actiontec C1000A CenturyLink router's setup section you probably need to know it's default username and password.

The router username/password are not the same as the Internet or WiFi username/password. The router username and password will not access the Internet but only the router's interface pages. This allows you to make changes to the router's configuration such as port forwards or parental controls.

If the list above didn't work it's possible you have a different firmware version of this router. Router manufacturers are always coming up with new updates for their routers and sometimes these new updates contain a new username and password.

Note: It is highly unlikely that a router company would use the same username and password here as they do for the Internet.

If they happen to be the same you need to change it as soon as you login because that is a very high security risk.
