Paused · your time is saved
What is Piso WiFi pause time?
Pause time is a feature on coin-operated WiFi machines that freezes your session timer. While paused, your internet stops and your remaining minutes stay saved on the machine.
Piso WiFi (also searched as "peso wifi" or "Piso Wi-Fi"; "piso" means one peso) is the coin-operated internet in sari-sari stores, boarding houses, terminals and barangay halls across the Philippines. You drop coins, scan a GCash or Maya QR code, or enter a voucher, and the machine gives you timed internet.
The timer counts down whether you are browsing or not. If you leave to eat, charge your phone or take a call, your paid minutes keep running. Pause time fixes that.
How it works behind the scenes
- You pay. The machine creates a session linked to your phone's MAC address, a unique ID of your device.
- You tap Pause. The machine stops the countdown and blocks your internet.
- Your time waits on the machine. It is stored on the vendo, not on your phone.
- You tap Resume. The machine matches your phone to the saved session and the countdown continues.
Pause vs. turning off WiFi
| What you do | Timer stops? | Time saved? |
|---|---|---|
| Tap Pause Time at 10.0.0.1 | Yes | Yes |
| Turn off WiFi on your phone | Usually no | Time keeps running |
| Walk out of range | Usually no | Time keeps running |
| Close the browser | No | Time keeps running |
| Tap Logout | Session ends | Usually lost |
Only the Pause button saves your time. Turning off WiFi does not.
10.0.0.1 Piso WiFi pause time: how to pause and resume
Pausing takes about 10 seconds. Use the same phone you paid with.
- Connect to the Piso WiFi network. Open Settings, then WiFi, and tap the vendo's network. It is often the store name, "LPB Piso WiFi" or "Piso WiFi". Most need no password.
- Turn off mobile data. With data on, your phone may skip the portal and the page will not load.
- Open http://10.0.0.1. Type it in the address bar of Chrome or Safari, not the Google search box. Many phones also show a "Sign in to network" pop-up that opens the portal for you.
- Check your session. You should see your remaining time and buttons like Insert Coin, Voucher and Pause Time.
- Tap Pause Time. The timer stops and your internet is cut. The button usually changes to Resume or Continue.
- Resume when you're back. Reconnect, open http://10.0.0.1 on the same phone and tap Resume. The countdown continues where it stopped.
On Android (Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, Realme)
- Turn off mobile data before opening the portal.
- If 10.0.0.1 won't load, set Private DNS to Off or Automatic: Settings, Connections (or Network & Internet), Private DNS.
- In Chrome, turn off Lite mode or Data Saver if your phone still has it. On Samsung phones, Chrome and Samsung Internet both work; type http://10.0.0.1 in the address bar of either.
- "Connected, no internet" is normal before you pay or while paused.
On iPhone (iOS)
- iOS usually opens the portal by itself after you connect. If not, open Safari and type http://10.0.0.1.
- If your session keeps resetting, check Settings, WiFi, the (i) next to the network, and Private Wi-Fi Address. A changing address can make the machine treat you as a new device.
On a laptop (Windows or Mac)
- Connect to the network, open any browser and type http://10.0.0.1.
- Turn off VPN apps first. They hide the local portal.
- Your laptop needs its own session. Phone time can't be moved to it.
- On Windows 10 or 11, if the portal doesn't pop up, open Edge or Chrome and type http://10.0.0.1. Pause and resume work the same as on a phone.

Where is the pause button? LPB, AdoPiSoft, PisoFi and JuanFi
The button looks different on each system, and it only shows if the owner turned it on. Find your system by the logo or name on the portal page.
| System | How to recognize it | Where the pause button is | Resume label |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPB Piso WiFi | LPB logo on the portal | Under your remaining-time display | Resume Time |
| AdoPiSoft | Round countdown timer | Below the circular timer | Resume or Continue |
| PisoFi | PisoFi name, app-style layout | In your session details | Resume |
| JuanFi | Simple MikroTik hotspot page | Only if the owner added it | Varies |
LPB Piso WiFi
LPB is the most common system on sari-sari store machines. After you pay, your time and a Pause Time button appear on the portal. Tap it once and the timer freezes. Full guide: LPB Piso WiFi.
AdoPiSoft
AdoPiSoft portals show a circular timer with the pause option under it. The circle stops moving while you're paused. Owners can limit how often and how long you pause. Full guide: AdoPiSoft.
PisoFi
PisoFi machines let the owner manage sessions online. Look for pause inside your session details. Full guide: PisoFi.
1Click Piso WiFi, JM Piso WiFi and TP-Link based machines
Smaller brands such as 1Click Piso WiFi and JM Piso WiFi, and machines built on TP-Link routers, also use a portal at 10.0.0.1 or your gateway address. If the portal shows a pause option, it works the same way: tap Pause Time, then Resume on the same phone.
JuanFi
JuanFi runs on MikroTik routers, and each owner sets up the page differently. Some JuanFi portals have no pause button. If you don't see one, ask the owner. Full guide: JuanFi.
10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.0.1, 1.0.0.0.1 or 10.10.0.1: which address is right?
Most machines use http://10.0.0.1. Addresses like 10.0.0.0.1 and 1.0.0.0.1 are typing mistakes. A real address has exactly four numbers.
| What people type | Valid? | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 10.0.0.1 | Yes, the standard portal | Type http://10.0.0.1 in the address bar |
| 10.0.0.0.1 | No, five numbers | Remove one 0 and use 10.0.0.1 |
| 1.0.0.0.1 | No, five numbers | Use 10.0.0.1 |
| 10.0 0.0 1 or 10.0 0.1 | No, spaces break it | Type the dots without spaces |
| 10.0.01 or 10.0.0..1 | No, missing or double dot | Use 10.0.0.1 |
| 10.0-0.1 or 10.0-0.0-1 | No, dashes aren't allowed | Replace each dash with a dot: 10.0.0.1 |
| 10.0 00 1 or 10.0.0.0.1 piso wifi time | No, spaces and an extra zero | Type 10.0.0.1 with no spaces |
| 1001, 101, 10001, 10.001 | No, dots missing | Type all three dots: 10.0.0.1 |
| 10.000.1, 10.0.00, 10.00.1, 10.0.1 | No, wrong number of parts | Use 10.0.0.1 |
| 1.00.01, 01.01.01, 1.0.0.1 | Not the portal | Use 10.0.0.1 |
| 1.0.0.0.10, 1.0.0.0.0.1, 1 0 0 0 1 | No, too many numbers | Use 10.0.0.1 |
| http //10.0.0.1/ | Missing the colon | Type http://10.0.0.1 |
| 10.10.0.1 | Yes, on some machines | Try it if 10.0.0.1 doesn't load |
| 10.10.10.1 (often typed 10.10.10.l) | Yes, older LPB setups | Use the number 1, not the letter l |
| 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 | Yes, router admin | For the owner's router settings, not the portal |
Why does Google open when I type 10.0.0.0.1?
Typing an address in the search box makes your phone search Google instead of opening the portal. That's how most people end up on guides like this one. Type the address in the address bar and put http:// in front.
Find your machine's real portal address
If 10.0.0.1 doesn't open, your machine may use another address. Check the gateway:
- Android: Settings, WiFi, tap the connected network, look for Gateway or Router.
- iPhone: Settings, WiFi, tap (i), look for Router.
- Windows: open Command Prompt, type
ipconfig, look for Default Gateway. - Mac: System Settings, WiFi, Details, TCP/IP, Router.
Type that number in your browser. That's your portal.
No pause button? 3 ways to still save your time
Many vendo machines run with pause switched off. You can't turn it on yourself, but you can avoid paying for minutes you won't use.
| Option | How it helps | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Buy a voucher | On most systems the timer starts only when you enter the code at 10.0.0.1, not when you buy it. | Holding time for later |
| Pay in small amounts | Drop ₱1 to ₱5 at a time instead of a full hour, so less time runs out if you get interrupted. | Short browsing |
| Ask the owner | Owners can see every session in the admin panel and on many systems can pause yours for you. | Dead battery or a portal that won't load |
Before buying a voucher, ask how many days it stays valid and whether it has a data limit.
What pause time doesn't do
- It doesn't add minutes. It only holds time you already paid for.
- It doesn't keep apps online. Messenger and other apps stop while you're paused.
- It doesn't stop mobile data. If data is on, apps can still use it.
- It doesn't move your time to another phone. Sessions are tied to your device.
- It doesn't last forever. Most owners set a limit, often 30 to 60 minutes.
Piso WiFi pause not working? 9 fixes
Most problems come from four things: the feature is off, the wrong device, an expired pause, or the portal not loading.
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No Pause button | Owner hasn't turned it on | Ask the owner. You can't enable it yourself. |
| 10.0.0.1 won't open | Mobile data, VPN or Private DNS is on | Turn them off, then type http://10.0.0.1 |
| Google search results open | Typed in the search box | Use the address bar and add http:// |
| "This site can't be reached" | Not connected, or a different gateway | Reconnect and check your gateway address |
| Time ran out while paused | Pause limit expired, often 30 to 60 minutes | Ask about the limit and resume sooner |
| Can't resume on another phone | Session is tied to your device | Resume on the phone that paid |
| Session gone after a restart | Some systems keep paused sessions only in memory | Ask the owner. You may need to pay again. |
| Pause button disappeared | Pause limit reached or too little time left | Use your remaining time |
| Resumed but no internet | Phone hasn't reconnected | Turn WiFi off and on, reopen 10.0.0.1 |
Still stuck?
- Forget the network, then reconnect.
- Try another browser: Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone.
- Open the portal in incognito or private mode to skip old cache.
- Ask the store owner. They can see every active and paused session in the admin panel.
For vendo owners: how to turn on pause time
If customers can't see a pause button, the feature is off in your admin panel. Turning it on takes a few minutes and usually means fewer complaints at the counter.
- Connect to your machine's network, or plug in a laptop by LAN.
- Open the admin page, on most systems http://10.0.0.1/admin.
- Log in with the admin account from your seller or the sticker on the unit.
- Open the portal or session settings. Names vary: Portal Settings, Settings or Session.
- Turn on Pause Time. Some systems need it on separately for coin and voucher sessions.
- Set your limits: longest pause, number of pauses, or minimum time left.
- Save, then test it yourself with ₱1 before telling customers.
| Setting | Suggested value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Pause allowed | On | Customers trust machines that don't waste their coins |
| Longest pause | 30 to 60 minutes | Enough for a meal or an errand |
| Auto-expire paused sessions | 24 hours | Old sessions don't pile up |
| Minimum time left to pause | 2 to 5 minutes | Stops pausing a session that's almost over |
Coin slot or voucher box missing from the portal?
Insert Coin and Voucher are switches in the same settings area as Pause Time. If customers say one is missing, it was turned off; nothing is broken. Turn Insert Coin off while your coin slot is jammed, so nobody drops coins that won't be credited.
Setting your timer rates
Rates decide how much time each peso buys. They are usually in their own menu, often called Rates or Timer Rates, not inside portal settings. Offer at least three: a small one for loose change, a mid one, and a bulk one with bonus time. A machine with a high minimum sits idle while the one next door takes ₱5 drops all day. More in our Piso WiFi vendo business guide.
Security tips for owners
- Change the default admin password on day one. Default logins are shared widely online.
- Do admin work on your own device, not a shared customer phone.
- Log out of the admin page when you finish.
- Keep firmware updated through your seller or the official app.
Tell your customers. A small sign by the machine, "Pwede mag-pause! Buksan ang 10.0.0.1", gets far more people using it.
