1. Connect to the Router
Make sure your device is connected to the router's network. This can be done via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.
2. Find the Router's IP Address
The IP address is usually one of these common defaults:
- 192.168.0.1
- 192.168.1.1
If the default IP doesn’t work, find it using these steps:
- Windows: Open Command Prompt, type ipconfig, and look for the Default Gateway.
- macOS: Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > TCP/IP.
- Android: Check Wi-Fi > Network details > Gateway.
- iOS: Check Wi-Fi > (i) > Router.
3. Open the Router's Admin Page
Open a web browser and enter the router's IP address in the address bar. Press Enter.

4. Log In to the Admin Panel
Enter the router’s login credentials:
- Default username: admin

If you changed the credentials and forgot them, reset the router to factory settings.
5. Modify Settings
Once logged in, you can change settings such as Wi-Fi password, SSID, and more.
6. Secure Your Router
Set a strong admin password and enable WPA3 or WPA2 encryption for Wi-Fi security.
