So, you’ve got a Hey!Broadband router and you’re wondering, “How do I even log in to this thing?” Don’t stress—I’ve got you. Whether you need to tweak your Wi-Fi settings, boost your signal, or just wanna see what’s going on behind the scenes, this guide will walk you through it step-by-step.
How to Log in to Your Hey!Broadband Router
Step 1: Connect to the Router
First things first—make sure you’re connected to your Hey!Broadband router. You can do this via Wi-Fi or by plugging in an Ethernet cable.
Step 2: Open Your Browser and Enter the IP Address
Now pop open your favorite browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari—you name it), and type the router’s IP address into the bar at the top:
http://192.168.1.1
Then hit Enter.
💡 If that doesn’t work, try http://192.168.0.1 or check the label on the router for the correct IP.
Step 3: Log in with the Default Credentials
You should now see the login screen. Enter your credentials:
- Username:
admin
- Password:
admin
orpassword
(sometimes it’s printed on the router)
Click Login, and boom—you’re in!
Changing Wi-Fi Name and Password on Hey!Broadband Router
Tired of your network being called something like “HeyBroadband_8923”? Yeah, me too.
Here’s how to make it your own:
- Log in to 192.168.1.1.
- Navigate to Wireless Settings or Wi-Fi Setup.
- Change your SSID (a.k.a your network name).
- Set a strong Wi-Fi password (don’t just use your pet’s name 😉).
- Click Save/Apply.

How to Reset Your Hey!Broadband Router
Forgot the login credentials or the Wi-Fi just acting up? A reset might do the trick.
Steps to Reset:
- Locate the reset button (usually a tiny hole on the back).
- Use a pin or paperclip to press and hold it for 10–15 seconds.
- Wait while the router reboots and restores factory settings.
Now you can log in again using default login info.
⚠️ Keep in mind: This erases your custom settings (Wi-Fi name, password, etc.).
