How to Use the 10.0.0.2 IP Address to Login to the Telkom / D-Link Router

The IP address, 10.0.0.2, is commonly used by businesses inside a private network. Business based routers keep the main IP such as 10.0.0.1 as the default gateway and assign 10.0.0.2 as a subnet for clients. For some brands like Siemens, Edimax, Micronet, 10.0.0.2 becomes the default gateway for login.

A subnet is a subdivision found in an IP network. A private network, making a subnet starting with 10.0.0.2, also avoids any network conflict and facilitates communication inside a network. Since networks are spread across in a business, routers used at such places have 10.0.0.1 as their default gateway login, which can be configured so that the subnet inside supports a client IP address beginning with 10.0.0.2.
