10.0.0.1

The IP address 10.0.0.1 is basically used for private networking. We want to tell you that this IP address is mostly used by the router manufacturers as a default gateway address for their routers. IP addresses 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 are also used for these purposes. If we compare public IP address with private IP address then we can easily understand that public IP addresses must be unique but private IP addresses must be unique only in LAN. This is the most important reason and it is more convenient to use the IP address 10.0.0.1 to configure LAN.
