Troubleshooting Login Issues
If you can’t access the login page at 192.168.1.254, try these tips:
- Alternative IPs: Some routers use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 instead.
- Check for Mistyped IPs: Ensure you’re typing “192.168.1.254” (not “192.168.l.254″—which is a common mistake).
- Default Login Check: If you don’t know the default username and password, check the router’s label or user manual.
If you previously changed the password and can’t remember it, a factory reset will restore it to the default settings. To reset, press and hold the reset button on the router for about 10-15 seconds (you may need a pin or toothpick). The router will reboot, and the settings, including passwords, will return to default.
