This article explains how to connect to your router as an administrator. These steps work for almost every router and modem.

There are many reasons why you may need to access your router as an administrator. A fundamental task is to change the default password or username. You can log into the router via a web browser, provided you are connected via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable. Here’s how:

Identify the router's IP address. Most routers are built to use a standard address, such as 192.168. 0. 1, 192.168. 1. 1, 192.168. 2. 1, or 192.168. 1. 100.

In a web browser, such as Edge, Chrome, or Firefox, request a connection to the router. Do this by typing the router's IP address (in the format http://192.168. 1.1) into the browser's address bar.
