Router Default Logins and IP Addresses

Default IP Address to Login Into the Router

Each router has it's own default admin login ip address.

ex: Open a web browser, and enter the address, such as "http://192.168.0.1".

Make sure you have a network cable connected for the setup first.

You can disconnect it later, for wireless, but you do need it for the initial setup.

Linksys use 192.168.1.1 Login = "admin" and "admin" / "blank"

D-Link uses 192.168.0.1 Login = "admin" and "admin" / "blank"

Belkin uses 192.168.2.1 Login = "admin" and "blank".

Netgear uses 192.168.0.1 / 192.168.1.1 Login = "admin" and "password".

If this doesn't work you may need to reset the router back to defaults. Usually there is a reset button located somewhere on the device.

Press and hold it for 30 seconds and that should do it.

That's it, if the router and computer are set for DHCP by default, as most are. Once you're in, be sure to change the default password

(and login if possible). Also, change the internal (LAN) IP address

for the router. Pick something such as "192.168.n.1", where n equals anything between 2 and 254, like "192.168.22.1". Write down all

of this information; you'll now reach the router in a web browser through that new IP address. If you lose any of these details, follow the

manual's directions to reset the router, often involving holding a button with a paper clip for several seconds.

Note:

Many routers let you save your configurations as a file. It is helpful to save each configuration with a unique filename so you can return it

to the last working configuration if something breaks during tweaking. A filename like "yyyymmdd-model" is a good start. You can then

simply reload the last good configuration into the router if something gets broken. Not all backup configuration files may include the

(hopefully) secure password you entered, so double check and reenter it if need be!
