IP address 192.168.0.1 is an intranet address; it is commonly used in LAN(local area network), and it is also a reserved address of the Internet. Many router brands are configured to use it as their login address, such as Netgear and D-Link.
192.168.0.1 admin center and settings
Router’s admin center is also named admin panel or other similar ones, most of which are web-based interfaces that you can log in to it with your browser. Open your browser and surf to http://192.168.0.1 will bring you to the network gateway.
On the pages, you will find the router’s basic settings, including router login username and password settings, WIFI function, security configuration, routing and bridging, LAN and WLAN settings.
How to login to 192.168.o.1 admin panel?
Netgear and D-Link routers provide a web-based admin panel, which you can log in to and set up the router’s initial settings, as well as some advanced configurations.
Step one:
Choose your favorite browser(Firefox, Google Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari), each one will work as they are the most popular browsers on the Internet. Check Network Settings in your browser to make sure there’s no proxy enabled.
Step two:
Copy http://192.168.0.1 into the address bar and make sure all the typing is correct; it starts with ‘http://’, not ‘https://’. Then hit enter.
If this IP address won’t take you to the login page or it returns a blank page, maybe it’s not your router’s default address, try 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 instead.
If you need to change the router’s default address, here are the easiest ways:
- Change it at the router admin panel in the network section.
- Reset your router and set up all configurations to your needs.
How to find your router’s default IP address?
In case you need to troubleshoot your own network or set up new devices, you may want to know the private IP address of that device. In order to do that, you should follow these simple steps:
- If you are running a Windows system, gain access to the command prompt by typing ‘cmd’ in the search bar at the Start menu or by pressing the Windows button and X key at the same time.
- Type ‘ipconfig’ in the command prompt in order to get the list of addresses
- After you’ve done that, you’re going to find the router’s default IP at the ‘Default Gateway’ line.
- If you are running a Linux system, open a terminal and type ‘ip route | grep default’, the result will be like ‘default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0’.
- If you are running MAC OS X, open a terminal, then run this command:’netstat -nr | grep default’, it will output a result like ‘default 192.168.1.1 UGSc 50 46 en1’.
The steps are similar in different systems. Since your network’s gateway always points to the router, it’s easy to locate the address.
Step three:
In the router login page, you need to enter a username and a password, which should always be ‘admin’ if you haven’t changed them.
Note: If the login identification information isn’t correct, try this list to find the correct ones. Sometimes, different models of routers have different passwords. If you have changed the information before, try to reset the router, then locate the router brand in the list and find the password again.
