Troubleshooting: Cannot Access Page

If 192.168.1.1 takes too long to respond or fails to load:

  • Check the Address: Ensure you typed numbers only. A common mistake is typing “192.168.l.l” (letter L).
  • Find Your Gateway: Your router might use a different IP.
    • Windows: Open Command Prompt > Type ipconfig > Look for “Default Gateway”.
    • Mac: System Settings > Network > Details > TCP/IP > Look for “Router”.
  • Hard Reboot: Unplug the router from power for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.

Forgot Password? (Factory Reset)

If the default passwords do not work and you cannot remember your custom password, you must reset the router. Warning: This erases all Wi-Fi settings.

  1. Locate the Reset button on the back of the router.
  2. While the router is on, use a paperclip to press and hold the button for 10-15 seconds.
  3. Release when the lights flash. The router will reboot to factory settings.
  4. Log in using the default credentials in the table above.
