Default Calix Login Details

Most Calix routers are at http://192.168.1.1. The most common login is admin / the password on the label. Other models use admin / a password you create during setup. See the Calix passwords and Calix IP address pages.

Calix GigaCenters have Status, Quick Start, Wireless, Utilities, Advanced and Support tabs.

Most Calix devices are supplied by an Internet provider, so some settings may be locked, and a factory reset can remove the ISP's settings.
