Bell Default Router Passwords
This page lists 2 confirmed default credentials for Bell equipment, covering 2 models.
Entries are reachable over http. All of these entries use a protocol that sends the password in clear text, so use them on a trusted network and change the password once you are in.
| Model | Protocol | Access | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HOME HUB 3000 | HTTP | Admin | leave blank | unique to your unit |
| HOME HUB 4000 / GIGA HUB / GIGA HUB 2.0 | HTTP | Admin | leave blank | unique to your unit |
About Bell
Bell supplies its own Home Hub and Giga Hub modems with Bell Internet.
Reaching the login page
The admin page on most Bell units answers at http://192.168.2.1, or at bell.ca/mymodem if the router is handling your DNS. If that address does not load, the router is whatever your computer lists as its default gateway — ipconfig on Windows or ipconfig getoption en0 router on a Mac will tell you.
Bell hubs ask only for an administrator password. On the Home Hub 3000 the default is the serial number printed on the sticker on the back; on the Home Hub 4000 and Giga Hub, Bell also shows it on the modem’s front screen under Modem Management.
What the Bell defaults look like
None of them ask for a username; the field is left empty. On 2 entries the password is unique to each unit and printed on its label. All of them are reached over a protocol that puts the password on the wire in clear text, so work from a machine on the same wired network rather than across the internet, and change the password once you are in.
Where Bell prints the admin password
The password recovery button
Bell hubs can email or text you their passwords when you press the password recovery button, but only if that feature was set up beforehand. If it was not, use the serial number on the back sticker, or the Modem Management screen on a Home Hub 4000 or Giga Hub.
If the Bell password has already been changed
Home Hub 3000: hold the Reset button on the side for at least 30 seconds, until the light flashes red five times. Home Hub 4000 and Giga Hub: on the front, press the down arrow, scroll to Reset to factory default, then Yes, and press OK.
The catch with an ISP-supplied unit is that a reset also clears the broadband credentials, and on some lines the router will not reconnect until those are re-entered. Find them before you press anything, or be ready to ring the provider.
