Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my router IP address?
On Windows, open Command Prompt and type "ipconfig" - look for "Default Gateway". On Mac, go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP. On your phone, check your WiFi connection details. Common addresses are 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, and 10.0.0.1.
What is the default router username and password?
Most routers use "admin" for both username and password, or "admin" with a blank password. Some use "admin/password" or "user/user". Check the sticker on your router or the manual for default credentials.
Why can't I access my router login page?
Common reasons include: wrong IP address, router is not powered on, you're not connected to the router's network (try ethernet), browser cache issues (try incognito mode), or the router admin interface is disabled.
How do I reset my router password?
If you forgot your custom password, you'll need to factory reset the router. Find the small reset button (usually recessed), hold it for 10-30 seconds with a paperclip. This restores default credentials but erases all settings.

Yes, 192.168.1.1 is a private IP address used only within your local network. It cannot be accessed from the internet. This is your router's admin interface for configuring network settings.
