Actiontec Router Login

Trying to log into your XLN router but not sure where to start? Whether you’re switching up your Wi-Fi name, tightening security, or just giving the settings a quick check, this step-by-step guide will walk you through everything—no tech degree required 😉

How to Log in to Your XLN Router

Step 1: Get Connected

First things first—make sure your device (laptop, phone, etc.) is connected to your XLN router either via Wi-Fi or using an Ethernet cable. If you’re not on the network, you won’t be able to log in.

Step 2: Open Your Browser

Launch your favorite browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox—you name it) and type the router’s default IP address into the address bar:

Press Enter and you should land on the login screen.

⚠️ If that IP doesn’t work, check your router’s back label for the correct one—it’s usually printed right there.

Step 3: Enter Default Login Credentials

Once you’re on the login page, enter the default credentials:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin or password

Click Login to access the admin dashboard.

❗ If those don’t work, someone might’ve changed them earlier. In that case, a factory reset might be your best bet (scroll down for that!).

How to Change Wi-Fi Settings on Your XLN Router

Want to rename your network or beef up the Wi-Fi password? Here’s how you do it:

  1. Log into the router as shown above.
  2. Go to Wireless Settings or Wi-Fi Configuration.
  3. Find the SSID field and change it to your preferred network name.
  4. Set a strong, secure Wi-Fi password.
  5. Click Save.

Boom—your network just got a personal upgrade. ✨

Forgot the Login Password? Here’s How to Reset Your XLN Router

If you’re locked out or your router’s acting up, a reset can solve it all. Here’s how to do it safely:

Factory Reset Instructions:

  1. Locate the reset button on the back of the router.
  2. Use a pin or paperclip to press and hold it for about 10-15 seconds.
  3. Let go when the lights blink—your router will reboot and restore to default settings.

After this, you can log in with the default credentials again and set things up from scratch.

⚠️ Reminder: This wipes everything—custom names, passwords, and settings.
