Shaw Router Login
Shaw Communications (now part of Rogers) provides internet services in Canada, typically using Ignite WiFi Gateway modems (often Arris or Technicolor models). This guide explains how to access the settings.
How to Login to Shaw Router
Managing your Shaw modem or Ignite WiFi Gateway settings is primarily done through cloud-based tools, although a limited local interface exists.
Limited Local Access (Basic Status & Admin Password Change):
- Connect to your Shaw network.
- Open a browser and navigate to 10.0.0.1.
- Log in with Username: admin and Password: password. (This default password 'password' is standard for the local interface and should be changed immediately via this interface for security, though it doesn't affect main management).
- This page shows basic connection status and allows changing the local admin password (for 10.0.0.1 access only). It does NOT allow changing WiFi settings or most other configurations.
Full Network Management (Recommended Method):
- Use the Ignite WiFi Hub mobile app (download from your app store) or visit the web portal at internet.shaw.ca (or ignitehub.shaw.ca).
- Log in using your My Shaw account email and password (the same one you use to pay your bill online).
- This platform allows complete management of your network: changing WiFi SSIDs and passwords, setting up profiles and parental controls, managing connected devices (pausing internet, assigning profiles), setting up port forwarding, checking network health, and more.
Essentially, Shaw pushes users towards the app/web portal for day-to-day and advanced management, reserving the 10.0.0.1 interface for initial checks and changing its own specific password.
- Connect your device to your Shaw home network (WiFi or Ethernet).
- Method 1 (Limited Local GUI): Open a web browser, go to 'http://10.0.0.1'.
- Login with Username: 'admin', Password: 'password' (default, change HIGHLY recommended). This interface offers only basic status and limited settings (like changing admin password, viewing basic status).
- Method 2 (Full Management - Recommended): Use the Ignite WiFi Hub app (iOS/Android) or website (internet.shaw.ca or ignitehub.shaw.ca).
- Log in using your My Shaw account credentials (email/username and password).
- This provides comprehensive control over WiFi names, passwords, connected devices, parental controls, port forwarding, etc.

Troubleshooting Issues with Shaw Router
Problems accessing Shaw Gateway settings?
- Cannot Access 10.0.0.1: Ensure you are connected to the Shaw Gateway network. Verify IP address (should be 10.0.0.1). Try clearing browser cache. If password 'password' doesn't work, someone might have changed the local admin password via 10.0.0.1 previously (a factory reset might be needed to restore 'password').
- Cannot Log into Ignite WiFi Hub (App/Website): Verify you are using the correct My Shaw account email and password. Try resetting your My Shaw password via Shaw's website if forgotten. Ensure the app is updated. Check if Shaw's services or the Hub platform are experiencing an outage.
- WiFi Settings Not Changing via 10.0.0.1: This is normal. WiFi and most other settings *must* be changed via the Ignite WiFi Hub app or website (internet.shaw.ca).
- Gateway Offline: Check physical connections (coax cable, power). Check status lights on the gateway. Reboot the gateway by unplugging power for 1 minute, then plugging back in. Check Shaw's service status page for outages in your area.
- Factory Reset (Last Resort): Find the reset button (usually recessed pinhole on the back). Press and hold for 30+ seconds while powered on. This restores all settings to default, including the 10.0.0.1 login ('admin'/'password') and the original WiFi name/password printed on the device sticker. *Requires reconfiguring personalized settings via the Ignite WiFi Hub.*
Shaw Router setup
Initial setup of a Shaw Ignite WiFi Gateway is often guided by Shaw activation processes. Post-setup management and customization are done via the Ignite WiFi Hub app or website:
- Log into Ignite WiFi Hub: Use the app or internet.shaw.ca with your My Shaw credentials.
- Personalize WiFi Network: Navigate to the WiFi settings section. Change the WiFi Network Name (SSID) and WiFi Password to something strong and memorable. Shaw gateways often use band steering (one name for both 2.4/5GHz bands).
- Set Up Profiles (Optional): Create profiles for family members and assign their devices to easily manage parental controls and active time limits.
- Configure Parental Controls: Set up rules for content filtering or pausing internet access for specific profiles or devices.
- Manage Connected Devices: View all connected devices, check signal strength, pause internet access, or troubleshoot connectivity.
- Advanced Settings (Port Forwarding, etc.): Access advanced options like Port Forwarding, DMZ, or DNS settings through the Hub interface (usually under Network or Advanced sections).
- Change 10.0.0.1 Admin Password (Optional but Recommended): Log into 10.0.0.1 using admin/password and change the password there to secure the local interface, even though it has limited functionality.
- Network Health Check: Use tools within the Hub app/website to test speeds and check network status.
