The IP address 192.168.1.254 is the default private IP address for some home broadband routers and broadband modems. Common routers or modems that use this IP address include 2Wire, Aztech, Billion, Motorola, Netopia, SparkLAN, Thomson, and Westell modems for CenturyLink.

192.168.1.254 is a private IP address and is one of a block of addresses reserved for private networks. This means that a device on this private network cannot be directly accessed from the Internet using this private IP. However, any device on the private network can connect to the other devices on that network.

While the router has a private IP address of 192.168.1.254, the router assigns devices on its network a different, private IP address. All IP addresses on a network must be unique within that network to prevent IP address conflicts. Other common private IP addresses used by modems and routers include 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.100, and 192.168.1.101.

The router's IP address is set by the manufacturer at the factory, but you can change it at any time through the management interface. To access the router console, open a web browser, go to the address bar, and enter http://192.168.1.254 (not www.192.168.1.254). Use the router console to change the router's IP address and configure other options.
