Got an EnGenius router and not sure where to start? Don’t worry — I’ve been there too. Whether you’re trying to set up your Wi-Fi, tweak the settings, or fix a pesky connection issue, this guide is exactly what you need.
How to Log In to Your EnGenius Router
✅ Step 1: Connect Your Device
Make sure you’re connected to the EnGenius router — either via Wi-Fi or using an Ethernet cable. Can’t login if you’re not connected, right?
🌐 Step 2: Access the Router Login Page
Open your favorite browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari — whatever you like) and type this into the address bar:
Hit Enter and you should see the login screen pop up.
🔐 Step 3: Enter the Default Login Details
Use the default credentials unless you’ve changed them before:
- Username:
admin
- Password:
admin
or sometimes1234
Click Login to access the admin panel.
🔎 Can’t find the login info? Flip your router upside down — there’s usually a sticker with the default username and password printed on it.
How to Change Wi-Fi Name & Password (SSID)
Want to make your Wi-Fi name cooler or update your password? Here’s how:
- Log in to your EnGenius router.
- Navigate to Wireless Settings.
- Change your SSID (the Wi-Fi name) and Wi-Fi Password.
- Hit Apply/Save and give it a moment to update.
💡 Pro Tip: Use something unique for the Wi-Fi name (no more “Linksys123”) and a strong password to keep freeloaders out.
Forgot Your Password? Here’s How to Reset
If you’re locked out of the router or forgot the login details, here’s the reset method:
🛠 Factory Reset Instructions:
- Look for a small reset button on the back.
- Use a pin or paperclip to hold it down for 10-15 seconds.
- Wait for the router to restart — it’ll go back to its factory settings.
You can now log in again using the default credentials. Just remember — this will wipe all custom settings!
