Which router brands and models ssid.ai covers
550 router, gateway, mesh and access-point models across 198 brands, as of 2026-10-26, each transcribed from the manufacturer's or ISP's own documentation with the source URL on the field. The per-brand table below is read from the database when this page renders, so it is the coverage, not a claim about it. 67% of those models have no universal default password at all and are labelled with the reason.

Retail brands
Model count, and how many of those models still ship a universal default password (the pattern the UK PSTI Act prohibits). Each brand links to its hub page, which lists every model with its login IP.
ISP-supplied gateways
Carriers that hand you a gateway rather than sell a retail router. These are tracked separately because ISP firmware can differ from the manufacturer's retail documentation, so the citation on these rows is the carrier's own support page wherever one exists.

What the credential type means for coverage
A model with no password listed is covered, not missing. The label says why there is no value to list:
set-on-setup(141 models): no factory password exists, the router makes you choose one on first login.label-unique(177 models): unique per device, printed on the sticker. The sticker is the authoritative source.app-only(53 models): administered in the vendor's phone app, no web login at all.static(179 models): a universal default shared by every unit, shown with its citation. This is the risky pattern the compliance index counts.
Other ways into the same coverage
- Per-model pages: default login, gateway IP, reset steps, verification history and the source document.
- Per-brand hubs at
/routers/brand/{brand}, answering “what is the default password for a Netgearrouter” across every model of that brand. - Per-login-IP hubs at
/routers/ip/{ip}(45 distinct documented gateway IPs): every model that ships a given admin address, which is how you find yours when you know the IP but not the model. - The OUI directory, for going the other way: from a MAC address to the manufacturer.
What is not covered
The directory is curated, not exhaustive, and the gaps are real ones worth naming: much of the Indian and Southeast Asian retail market, most regional ISP-branded ONTs, enterprise gear that has never shipped a shared default, and discontinued models whose manufacturer documentation is no longer online. A model that is not covered returns not-found rather than a plausible guess. If you have the manufacturer document for a missing model, send it and it gets verified against that source before it publishes.
FAQ
- Which router brands and models does ssid.ai cover?
- 550 router, gateway, mesh and access-point models across 198 brands, as of 2026-10-26. The retail brands with the deepest coverage are TP-Link (43), Netgear (40), ASUS (27), AVM (16), Linksys (16), D-Link (14). ISP-supplied gateways are covered separately for 35 carriers. Every row carries the manufacturer or ISP document it was transcribed from, and 67% of the models have no universal default password at all, labelled with the reason rather than padded with admin/admin. The full table is downloadable as CSV and JSON under CC BY 4.0.
- Is my router covered?
- Search the directory by brand or model. If the model is not there you get a not-found rather than a guess, which is deliberate: the value of the table is that everything in it is cited. You can request a model through the corrections page, and an agent can do the same through the submit_correction MCP tool. Either way it needs an official manufacturer document, and it is verified against that document before it publishes.
- Does ssid.ai cover ISP-supplied routers?
- Yes. 35 carriers are tracked separately from retail brands, including SaskTel, Orange, Telstra, Rogers, Airtel, Etisalat by e&, BSNL, NOW Broadband. They are separate because an ISP can flash firmware whose defaults differ from the manufacturer's retail documentation, so those rows are cited to the carrier's own support page wherever one exists. For a gateway your ISP supplied, the ISP remains the better source than any database.
- How many MAC address vendors does the OUI directory cover?
- All of the IEEE MA-L registry, re-fetched daily at 04:00, plus the MA-M, MA-S, IAB and CID sub-block registries. A lookup matches the longest prefix first, so an address inside a block the IEEE subdivided resolves to the company that actually holds it rather than to the registrar. The live total is on the OUI directory page.
- Can I download the coverage table instead of reading this page?
- Yes. The whole router table ships as CSV and JSON under CC BY 4.0 including commercial use, 18 columns, with the source URL, source name, credential type and last-verified date on every row: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Drumworks/router-default-passwords/main/routers.csv. The compliance index is a separate free JSON feed at https://ssid.ai/compliance/data.json.
