Piso WiFi Pause Time: Pause and Resume at 10.0.0.1
You drop a coin, the timer starts, and then dinner's ready. Piso WiFi pause time is the button on the vendo's portal that freezes your countdown, so the minutes you paid for wait until you're back. Here's how to pause at 10.0.0.1, resume on the same phone, and fix the button when it won't show.
Piso WiFi pause time is a portal feature that stops your session's countdown at 10.0.0.1. Your remaining minutes stay saved on the vendo while you're offline. Tap Resume on the same device to continue, as long as the owner allows pausing.
Picture the usual setup: a coin box hangs on a wall or sits on a sari-sari store counter, and it sells internet by the minute. You feed it coins, and TP-Link Philippines notes that vendos can also take QR codes, GCash and Maya.
Piso WiFi pause time is the one feature that protects what you paid. TP-Link Philippines describes it as a feature that "temporarily freezes your internet timer". No running timer means no lost minutes.
Simple, right? Mostly, but the owner decides whether your vendo shows the button at all.
What parts make Piso WiFi pause time work?
Four pieces work together every time you pause:
The vendo: the coin box plus its WiFi router. Software such as AdoPiSoft, LPB or JuanFi runs the timer.
The portal at 10.0.0.1: the web page where you see your time and tap Pause or Resume.
Your session: the minutes tied to your device. TP-Link Philippines says vendos match sessions by IP or MAC address.
The admin panel: the owner's side, where pause gets switched on or off and limited.
Why does 10.0.0.1 only open on the vendo's WiFi?
The address 10.0.0.1 sits inside a private block, 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, set aside for local networks by RFC 1918. Your phone reaches it only while it's joined to the vendo's WiFi. On mobile data, the page won't load. That's not a bug.

How do you pause Piso WiFi at 10.0.0.1?
Connect to the vendo's WiFi, open 10.0.0.1 in your browser, and tap Pause. Your countdown stops right away. When you're back, open 10.0.0.1 again on the same phone or laptop and tap Resume to carry on where you stopped.
You need four steps. The portal looks different from vendo to vendo, but the flow underneath stays the same.
Connect to the vendo's WiFi
Turn off mobile data first, then join the Piso WiFi network. Android checks every new network for a login page, as Google's captive portal documentation explains, and shows a sign-in prompt when it finds one. Tap the prompt.
Illustration: joining the vendo's WiFi network.
Open 10.0.0.1
No prompt? Open your browser and type 10.0.0.1 in the address bar, not the search box. Watch the dots, too, because typos like 10.0.0.0.1 and 1.0.0.0.1 have five numbers and will never load.
Does the portal ask you to log in before it shows your time? Our guide to signing in at 10.0.0.1 covers that screen.
Illustration: typing 10.0.0.1 in the address bar.
Tap Pause
Find the Pause button and tap it. Where it sits depends on the vendo software, so learn every button on the portal if you can't spot it.
Now check your remaining time. Has the number stopped dropping? Then your Piso WiFi pause time has started. And yes, your internet stays off until you resume.

Resume on the same device
Back on the same WiFi, open 10.0.0.1 again and tap Resume. Use the phone or laptop you paused with. Vendos match your session by device, so your friend's phone won't see your saved minutes.

How long does Piso WiFi pause time last?
Each vendo owner sets the Piso WiFi pause time limit, so it changes from machine to machine. TP-Link Philippines reports a 60-minute default on LPB vendos, adjustable from 10 minutes to 24 hours. Miss the deadline and your saved minutes are gone, so resume early.
Here's the thing: a pause isn't a savings account. Owners earn by the minute, so they cap it. TP-Link Philippines and the JuanFi project describe these Piso WiFi pause time limits:
Vendo software
How pause is limited
Source
LPB Piso WiFi
Maximum pause length. Default 60 minutes; owners can set 10 minutes to 24 hours. Owners can also require a minimum amount of time left before you can pause.
TP-Link Philippines
AdoPiSoft
A number of pauses per session, not a time limit. TP-Link suggests 3 to 5.
TP-Link Philippines
JuanFi
"Pause expiration" is a listed feature of this open-source software.
JuanFi README on GitHub
Any vendo
Abandoned paused sessions expire, typically after 24 hours.

What does that look like with real numbers?
Say you pause with 42 minutes left at 7:00 pm on an LPB vendo set to the 60-minute default. Resume by 8:00 pm and all 42 minutes come back. Resume at 8:10 pm and they're gone.
That is the whole trade-off.
Does Piso WiFi pause time work on any phone, laptop or browser?
Yes. Piso WiFi pause time runs on a normal web page at 10.0.0.1, so pausing works the same on Android phones, iPhones and Windows laptops, in any browser. You don't need an app. The usual blockers are browser security settings and a custom Private DNS.
Let's look at three everyday setups:
Android phones: the sign-in prompt opens the portal for you. If 10.0.0.1 won't load, a custom Private DNS setting is the first thing to check.
Chrome: the "Always use secure connections" setting can warn on private sites too, according to Google's Chrome Help. Then Chrome shows a warning before the portal opens. Read our guide to pausing in Chrome.
iPhones and laptops: open Safari, Edge or any other browser, type 10.0.0.1, and use the same buttons.
Skip the app stores. Nothing needs installing to pause, and an app promising free extra minutes is a red flag in our book. Before you download anything, check whether a pause time app exists.
Why is the Piso WiFi pause button missing or not working?
Start with five checks: pause is switched off, the portal page is cached, you're on mobile data, you're resuming from another device, or the pause outlasted the owner's limit. Go through them in that order before you insert another coin.
Now that you know how pause should work, here's how to read what went wrong:
What you see
What to try
No Pause button on the portal
The owner hasn't switched pause on, so ask them. Also reload the portal or open it in a private tab, in case your browser shows an old copy.
Pause refused with little time left
LPB owners can require a minimum amount of time left before you pause. Pause earlier next time.
10.0.0.1 won't load
Make sure you're on the vendo's WiFi with mobile data off. If you set a custom Private DNS on your phone, switch it to Automatic or Off, then turn WiFi off and on.
Resume doesn't bring your time back
Check that you're on the device you paused with. If you are, the pause passed the owner's limit.
Time disappeared while paused
Show the owner your screenshot and the time you paused. They can check the session in the admin panel.
Owners switch Piso WiFi pause time on in the vendo's admin panel, then set its limits. The menu path changes with the software, such as LPB, AdoPiSoft or JuanFi. Once pause is on, every customer sees a Pause button on the 10.0.0.1 portal.
Every owner makes three calls:
Turn pause on or off. Off hides the Pause and Resume buttons for every customer.
Set the limit: a maximum pause length on LPB, or a number of pauses per session on AdoPiSoft.
On LPB, choose the minimum time a customer needs left before pausing.
Our take? Leave Piso WiFi pause time on with a sensible cap. Losing 40 paid minutes to a dinner break is the kind of thing customers remember about a vendo.

What else do people ask about Piso WiFi pause time?

Piso WiFi pause time FAQs
Does pausing Piso WiFi really save my time?
Yes. Your countdown stops while you're paused, and the minutes wait for you. Just resume before the owner's limit runs out.
Why won't 10.0.0.1 open on mobile data?
Because 10.0.0.1 is a private address. The page only exists inside the vendo's WiFi, so switch off mobile data and join the Piso WiFi network first.
Can I resume my time on a different phone?
Usually not. Vendos tie your session to the device you paid on, so resume from that same phone or laptop.
How long can I keep my time paused?
As long as the owner allows. TP-Link Philippines says LPB vendos default to 60 minutes, and owners can set anything from 10 minutes to 24 hours.
Is 10.0.0.0.1 the same as 10.0.0.1?
No. An IPv4 address has exactly four numbers, so 10.0.0.0.1 and 1.0.0.0.1 are typos. Type 10.0.0.1.
Do I need an app to pause Piso WiFi?
No. You pause on the 10.0.0.1 web page, so any phone or laptop with a browser works.
Which Piso WiFi guides should you read next?
Open the device guide if your phone acts up, use the time calculator to see what your coins buy, and read the Starlink guide if your vendo runs on a Starlink dish. Each one builds on this Piso WiFi pause time guide.
