Important Notes
- Many routers use admin / admin or admin with a blank password.
- Newer models may ask you to set a password on first login (no default).
- Check the sticker on the bottom or back of the router for the exact IP and credentials.
- After logging in, change the admin password in the router settings for security.
If You Forgot Your Password
Reset the router using the small Reset button (hold for about 10 seconds). This restores factory settings and the default password. You will need to set up WiFi and any custom settings again. See How to Reset Your Router for brand-specific steps.
First-Time Setup and Custom Passwords
Many newer routers ask you to set an admin password on first login instead of using a default. If you bought the device second-hand or it was reset, check the sticker or manual for a “first-time setup” or “no default password” note. After you set or change the admin password, write it down and keep it safe. Avoid using the same password as your WiFi. If you use the same network for work, consider a strong unique password and, if the router supports it, enable remote management only when needed and with a strong password.
