The router is a very important device for us, since it allows us to manage the Internet service either at home or at work. That is why it is essential to know the default username and password of our or any router to configure it according to our needs.
Many times we let the technicians of the operators configure our router , but if we want to do it we must learn to do it. If you want to customize or improve network security, you must log in to the router to configure it.
Unfortunately many people do not know how to log into the router , but in a simple way we will show you how to do it by acquiring the default username and password to enter any router. That is why we will show you how you can easily know the username and password.
Default router IP address
When we hire an Internet service for our home or work, it comes in most cases with a router. The IP address allows you to identify each computer or device connected to the network , which can be the Internet itself or a smaller network. Every router uses an internal IP address with which its interface can be accessed for administration.
To know the IP of the router we can see it in some cases in the lower part of the label pasted on the router. We can also visit websites, such as RouterIPAddress.com where we can know the information of the router’s IP address in a few steps.
One of the most important points when we have our Internet service is the security and privacy of the network. After we are sure we can configure the router so that we have a faster navigation.
The most common IP addresses according to the brand are the Linksys router is 192.168.1.1, the Belkin router is 192.168.2.2 and the TP-Link router is 192.168.0.1. When we place this data in the browser, a window will appear in which we must enter the router’s username and password. When logging in with the router we can make the following configurations to the device, which we can do from the device menu:
- We can block access to the devices we want, which we consider to be intruders on the network.
- Configure it to restrict access to unwanted information such as parental control for children.
- Modify the name of the network when it is generating interference with any other nearby network.
- Set the device as a repeater.
- Depending on the service offered by our navigation provider, it can be configured to have a dynamic or static IP.
- Enable and disable certain ports.
- Choose a channel to navigate and avoid those that could be saturated.
Username and password to enter a router
After knowing what the IP address of the router is, we can proceed to log in, we need to know the username and password . Some router manufacturers put this information on the label on the bottom of the device.
Although it is also possible that the manufacturers do not put this information, we can know it anyway. This information can be found in the same way in the manual of the device, in its box or consult it on the manufacturer’s website.
Another possibility to log in to the router is by entering the user “Admin” and the password would be Admin or leaving this space blank. Otherwise, if this does not work, you can enter the Admin user and enter the password “1234”.
