How to Access the Router Login Page
Before opening the router login page, make sure your device is connected to the router’s network. If you are using a NETGEAR router, NETGEAR’s current instructions support accessing the web interface through routerlogin.net or the router’s local IP address where applicable.
Open your browser and enter the appropriate router address. When the login screen appears, enter your administrator credentials.
For NETGEAR routers, the administrator username is typically admin. The administrator password is the password created or specified during router setup and is case-sensitive. It is different from your WiFi password.
192.168.1.1 Router Login
192.168.1.1 is a commonly used local router IP address. If your router uses this address, you can enter it directly into your browser while connected to the router’s network.
Steps to access 192.168.1.1
- Connect your device to the router.
- Open a web browser.
- Enter 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
- Press Enter.
- Enter your router administrator credentials.
- Open the router’s administration interface.
If 192.168.1.1 does not open, your router may use a different local IP address. For NETGEAR routers, 192.168.0.1 is another commonly used address.

192.168.0.1 Router Login
Some routers use 192.168.0.1 as their local administration address.
To try accessing the router:
- Connect your device to the router’s network.
- Open your browser.
- Enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar.
- Press Enter.
- Enter your router administrator credentials.
If neither 192.168.1.1 nor 192.168.0.1 works, check your router’s actual gateway IP address rather than repeatedly trying different addresses.

Routerlogin.net Not Working?
If routerlogin.net does not open, don’t immediately reset your router. Try these troubleshooting steps first.
1. Check your connection
Make sure your computer or mobile device is connected to the router’s WiFi network. If possible, try an Ethernet connection.
2. Check the address
Make sure you entered the router address correctly. For NETGEAR routers, try routerlogin.net and, where applicable, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.
3. Try another browser
Clear your browser cache or try another browser if the login page does not load.

5. Try another device
Try accessing the router from another computer, phone, or tablet connected to the same router.
6. Restart your network equipment
Power cycle the router, modem, and the device you are using to access the router.
7. Factory reset only as a last resort
