How to Access Your Router's Login Page

Reach your router's admin dashboard in four steps — including what to do when the login page won't load.

Updated 2026

  1. 1

    Connect to the router

    Join the router's WiFi or plug in over Ethernet. You must be on its network to reach the admin page.

  2. 2

    Open the gateway IP

    Type your router's IP address (for example 192.168.1.1) into your browser's address bar and press Enter.

  3. 3

    Enter the default login

    Use the default username and password printed on the router label, or look it up on the matching IP / brand page here.

  4. 4

    Change the defaults

    Once inside, set a strong admin password and WiFi key so no one else can reach these settings.
