How to find your brand
- Look at the front or sticker on the bottom/back of the router for the brand name and model.
- The sticker usually shows the default gateway (e.g. 192.168.1.1) and username/password.
- On Windows, open CMD and run
ipconfig— Default Gateway is the router login IP. - Then open that IP in your browser while connected to the same Wi‑Fi or Ethernet.
What every brand guide covers

Security tips for any brand
- Change the default admin password on first login.
- Use a strong Wi‑Fi password (WPA2 or WPA3); avoid WEP and open networks.
- Disable WPS if you do not need it; update firmware from the vendor site only.
- Turn on guest Wi‑Fi for visitors so they stay off your main LAN.
