Every wifi router comes with an admin panel, which users can access to configure router and wireless network settings. One can also call it the firmware of the router as you can make wireless configurations using it, like changing your wifi name, password, security, and more. It is only possible if you gain access to your router’s admin page, and with the help of this article is all about router login and the configurations.

The login process is quite similar for all the routers brands. The only things that can vary are their login addresses and their user interface. Before moving on to the router login process, let’s have a look at the requirements and the features first.

The following requirements are necessary in order to log in to the router setup page !

  • IP Address

The majority of the router brands use 192.168.0.1 & 192.168.1.1 as their default gateway and login IP address. You can also search it in the router’s manual or read the guide about how to find router IP address on all devices !

  • Network Access

Make sure that you are connected to the wireless network of your router, not the mobile network when logging in to the router. Many people fail to access the admin using their phones as they forgot to connect to the wifi !

  • Username & Password

It is another piece of information you can easily find in the manual. Moreover, you can always search our list of router passwords, which contains default router usernames and the passwords for most of the brands !

Configurations (Router Settings)

The most popular reason behind people logging into their router’s console is that they want to change their wifi password. It is not restricted to that only, but you can also make a bunch of more settings listed below !

  • Change WiFi Name

Why not change the default & boring wifi name to something unique !

  • Create Guest Network

Guests visit you often, but you don’t want to share your password with everyone. You can make a guest network and allow them to connect and use your internet !

  • Parental Controls

Are you a parent and don’t want your kids to use the internet on their devices for some time ? You can use parental controls to restrict a wifi user !
