What is the Rogers Ignite Modem IP Address?

The default IP for the Ignite WiFi Gateway (Gen 2 / Gen 3) is 10.0.0.1. Older Hitron modems typically use 192.168.0.1.

How do I fix lag on my Rogers internet?

Lag (high ping) is often caused by Wi-Fi interference. Use the Ignite HomeConnect app to scan for channel congestion, or switch to a wired Ethernet connection for gaming.

Can I use my own router with Rogers Ignite?

Yes. You must enable 'Bridge Mode' on your Ignite Gateway to disable its internal Wi-Fi and router functions, then connect your own router to Port 1.

What is the Rogers Default Username and Password?

The default username is 'admin' and password is 'password'. If these do not work, check the sticker on the bottom of your gateway.

Rogers Speed Test

This page helps users of Rogers Ignite Internet understand their speed test results and determine whether the connection is performing within the normal range for Rogers broadband services.

Rogers operates a hybrid network. Most areas are "Fiber-Powered" (Coaxial Cable), while newer builds are "Pure Fibre" (FTTH). Your upload speed capability depends entirely on which infrastructure you are on.

How to interpret your Rogers speed test result

A Rogers speed test measures three core performance metrics:

Download speed – Massive with Rogers. The Ignite 1.5 Gigabit plan often bursts closer to 1800 Mbps if you have a 2.5G Ethernet port.

Upload speed – This reveals your connection type. 50 Mbps means Coax. 1000+ Mbps means Pure Fibre.

Latency (ping) – 15-30ms is standard for Cable. Under 10ms for Fibre. Spikes above 50ms can cause lag in games.

These values should be evaluated based on the type of connection (Ethernet vs. Wi-Fi) and the time of day.

Rogers Ignite: Expected Performance

Connection characteristics

Ignite Internet: Usually means DOCSIS 3.1 (Cable). Fast downloads (up to 1.5 Gbps) but asymmetrical uploads.

Pure Fibre: Symmetrical speeds (1.5 Gbps Down / 1.5 Gbps Up). Available in select new GTA neighborhoods.

Peak Hours: 7 PM–11 PM. Cable neighborhoods share bandwidth, so speeds may dip during hockey games or streaming hours.

Typical real-world performance

Download speed: ~110% of plan speed (Rogers over-provisions heavily).

Upload speed: 50 Mbps (Coax) or Symmetrical (Fibre).

Latency: 20–40ms (Coax), 5–15ms (Fibre).

If wired download speeds are consistently below 100 Mbps on a Gigabit plan, check your Ethernet cable rating (Cat5 is limited to 100 Mbps).

Common Causes of Slow Rogers Speeds

Slow speed test results are often caused by local hardware or heavy Wi-Fi interference.

Frequent causes

Wi-Fi Congestion: In condos, neighbor interference is huge. Use the 6 GHz band on the Gen 3 Gateway if possible.

Cable Splitters: Old TV splitters degrade the modem signal. Connect the modem directly to the wall outlet.

Legacy Devices: Old laptops with Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) cards cannot reach Ignite speeds.

Rogers Router Login – Default IP, Username & Password

Access your Ignite WiFi Gateway (Gen 2 / Gen 3) admin panel to manage settings, although Rogers encourages using the Ignite HomeConnect App.

Rogers Gateway Details	Information
Login IP Address	10.0.0.1 – Default for Ignite Gen 2 (XB7) and Gen 3 (XB8) 192.168.0.1 – Older Hitron CODA modems
Default Username	admin
Default Password	password

Steps to Login

Connect to your Rogers Wi-Fi
Open a browser
Enter 10.0.0.1
Enter 'admin' and 'password'
Note: Most settings are locked and point you to the Mobile App

Troubleshooting Gateway Lights

Solid White: Online and functioning.

Blinking Amber: Registration in progress / Firmware update.

Blinking Green: Upstream signal search.

Solid Red: Hardware error / No service.

Wired vs Wi-Fi Testing on Rogers

Wi-Fi 6E (Gen 3 Gateway) can reach 1 Gbps wireless, but most devices cap out around 400-600 Mbps.

For accurate verification of Ignite 1.5 Gigabit or higher, you MUST use a 2.5G Ethernet Adapter and a Cat6 cable connected to the port marked with a Red/Orange line on the gateway.

When to contact Rogers support

You should consider contacting Rogers support (1-888-ROGERS1) if:

Your Gateway light is blinking amber for more than 30 minutes.

You experience frequent 'micro-drops' in Zoom calls (packet loss).

Upload speeds drop below 10 Mbps (noise on the line).

Rogers Speed Test FAQs

Why is my Rogers upload speed slow? Rogers primarily uses cable technology. Physics limits the upload speed to ~50 Mbps on most plans compared to Bell Fibe which uses pure fiber optics for symmetrical speeds.

What is the difference between Ignite and Pure Fibre? Ignite usually implies 'Fiber-to-the-Node' (last mile is coax cable). Pure Fibre means 'Fiber-to-the-Home' (FTTH).

Can I put my Rogers modem in Bridge Mode? Yes. Log into 10.0.0.1, turn on Bridge Mode. Note: This creates a public IP on Port 1. You lose access to the HomeConnect App functionality.

Competitors & Alternatives

If Rogers isn't working for you, check these GTA/Canada alternatives:

Bell Speed Test: The main competitor offering symmetrical Fiber speeds (up to 8 Gbps).
Telus Speed Test: Major provider in Western Canada (AB/BC).
TekSavvy Speed Test: Third-party provider often cheaper, running on Rogers lines.
Starlink Speed Test: For cottage country where Rogers signal is weak.
