So you’ve got a Samsung router and you’re staring at the thing wondering, “Okay… how do I log into this?” Whether it’s a Samsung Connect Home Pro, CY‑SWR1100, or an older model, this guide breaks it down step-by-step in plain, friendly terms.
Step 1: Make Sure You’re Really Connected
First thing: make sure your device (your phone or computer) is connected to the same Wi‑Fi network generated by your Samsung router—or plugged in via Ethernet. Without that connection, nothing else will work.
Step 2: Open Your Browser & Try These IPs
Next, open your preferred web browser and type one of these into the address bar (not the search bar):
One of these should usually bring up the router’s login page.
Step 3: Enter the Default Login Info
When the login screen appears, try these username and password combos:
- Username: admin
Password: samsung
If that doesn’t work, try:
- admin / admin
- root / admin
- admin / 1111111
- admin / 4321
- root / 4321
These are common default credentials for many Samsung router models.
Step 4: You’re In! Here’s What You Can Do
Once you log in, you’re free to:
- Change your Wi‑Fi name (SSID)
- Update your Wi‑Fi password (please do, for security)
- Manage network settings, monitor connected devices
- Update firmware or reboot the router
- Optionally enforce guest networks or adjust admin password
Just be cautious—don’t click around on things you don’t understand unless you’re up for troubleshooting later.
Step 5: Login Via Your Smartphone
You can absolutely do this from your phone:
- Join the Samsung Wi‑Fi on your device
- Open your mobile browser
- Enter one of those IP addresses from Step 2
- Log in using the default credentials
- Control your router directly from your phone
It works just as well as desktop access.
Forgot Your Password? Here’s the Reset Trick
If none of those login combos get you in, try this:
- Locate the reset button (usually a small hole or button on the router)
- Hold it down for about 10 seconds
- Wait for the router to restart
- Now reconnect to the Wi‑Fi and try the default login credentials again
Keeping in mind: any custom settings, Wi‑Fi names or passwords will be wiped clean, so you’ll need to set them up again afterward.
Quick FAQ (Stuff You’re Probably Wondering)
Q: Which IP address should I use for Samsung routers?
The most common is 192.168.0.1. Others like 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.200, or 192.168.111.10 may also work based on the model.
Q: What if none of the default credentials work?
Try different combinations (admin / samsung, admin / admin, root / 4321). If still stuck, reset the device to factory settings.
Q: Can I change the admin password?
Yes—once logged in, navigate to Administrator or Security settings, and update it to something strong.
Q: Are Wi‑Fi settings the same as login password?
No—they’re separate. Your Wi‑Fi password is what guests use to connect; the router login password controls router access.
