For example: if you want to change the name of your Wi-Fi network, you need to go to the router’s IP address.
How to Access 192.168.l.l Admin
IP address 192.168.l.l is not the correct one for your router! Both http://192.168.l.l and https://192.168.l.l are not valid IPs and thus will never allow you to access your Wi-Fi network.

When trying to access a home router, many people go to IP address 192.168.l.l and are confused when it does not work.
192.168.1.1 vs. 192.168.l.l
The correct IP address is 192.168.1.1, while the incorrect IP address is 192.168.l.l – notice the difference? The correct IP address ends in the number “1”, followed by a period, followed by the number “1”. Many people mistakenly think their router’s IP address ends in the letter “l”, followed by a period, followed by the letter “l”, but this is wrong you need to replace the letter “l” with the number “1”.
Never type “www” before the IP address! If you enter www.192.168.l.l your web browser will start searching the Internet instead of trying to find a private IP on your local network.
Once you go to the correct 192.168.1.1 IP address (not 192.168.l.l), a login page should be displayed, prompting you to enter your username and password.
- Input the username and password in the provided fields
- Once entered, you should gain access to the router’s admin panel
Please note: if 192.168.1.1 does not lead to the admin panel, your router may use a different IP address. The most common alternative IP addresses are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.100.1 (but there are many others).
Forgot Username or Password?
If you went to 192.168.1.1 (instead of 192.168.ll) and saw the router admin panel, congrats you got the IP address correct. Now you need to log in, which can be tricky if you do not remember your username or password. If you have never logged into the router’s admin panel before, the username or password should not be customized. In such a case, the router will usually have a default login username and password.
How to Find Default Username and Password
If you have never setup or changed the router password, the default login details can likely be found in the router’s manual, inside the box the router came in, or on the back of the router itself. If you’ve changed the username or password, and have forgotten your login detail, you will likely need to reset the router by pressing and holding the ‘reset’ button for 10 to 15 seconds using a pointed object like a paper clip. This will restore factory settings.
Guessing Default Password for 192.168.l.l
If you can’t find the default username and password for your router, it might be possible to guess correctly. This is because a substantial percentage of routers that use IP address 192.168.1.1 (remember not to confuse this with 192168.l.l) can be accessed via the following:
Default username: admin
Default password: admin or password
If you are able to log in successfully with these default credentials, you can then change the router’s password to something more secure.

192.168.l.l vs. https://192.168.l.l
When entering an IP address in your web browser’s address field (where you normally enter a domain name), you should not need to include http or https before the IP. For example: http://192.168.l.l or https://192.168.l.l should bring you to the same place as typing 192.168.l.l at the top of your web browser. If the router admin panel uses SSL encryption, then http://192.168.l.l should automatically forward to https://192.168.l.l. It is possible to log in to your home WiFi router using all major web browsers including Google Chrome, Safari, FireFox, and Microsoft Edge. Some router instruction manuals will tell you to visit 192.168.l.l:8080 – the extra 8080 simply specifies the HTTP port that the router uses for incoming web traffic.
ISPs
There are hundreds of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) around the World that provide their customers with 192.168.1.1 routers. Some of the more popular are Verizon, Orange, Vodafone, Claro, Movistar, China Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, MTN, NTT, TalkTalk, JioFi, PLDT, SFR, Telia, Airtel, Vi, BSNL, VNPT, and Viettel.
Changing Your Router’s IP Address
Users can modify the default gateway IP address of their home WiFi network to increase security. A hacker knows that 192.168.l.l is a common IP address, so they may attempt to connect to your network and then use this IP address to try to gain control of your router. Consequently, it can be smart to change your router IP address to make it more difficult for it to be hacked. All this being said, the 192-168-l-l IP address is private and only works on a device that is within physical range to connect to your router (it’s not an online address available to the public).
Here’s how to change the login IP address for a few common types of routers…
TP-Link
- Find the admin panel at IP https://192.168.l.l
- Log in using “admin” as both username and password
- Navigate to Advanced settings > Network > LAN
- In the “IP Address” field, input your new desired address
- Save the changes
Netgear
- Log in to the Netgear router settings at 192.168.l.l or routerlogin.com
- Default login credentials are username: admin and password: password
- Navigate to Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup
- In the “LAN TCP/IP Setup” section, modify the IP address
- Click “Apply” to update the router settings
How to Factory Reset Your Router
People will occasionally encounter issues while updating their router’s settings. For example: people can sometimes have problems accessing the Internet after their router settings have been updated. If you run into such an issue, resetting your router to factory settings can revert all customizations. Most routers have a physical “reset” button, which when pressed and held down for 10+ seconds causes the router to reset back to default factory settings. In some cases, a paperclip will be needed to press the “reset” button. You can then go back to 192.168.1.1 (remember not to confuse it with 192.168.l.l) to once again change the configuration.
192.168.l.l vs. www.192.168.l.l
When connecting to a network router by entering its IP address in a web browser, do not type “www” before the IP or it won’t work. For example: www.192.168.l.l or https://www.192.168.l.l will cause your web browser to search the world wide web instead of looking for a private IP on your local network. You also do not need to type http or https before the IP, just the correct IP address should be all that’s needed. For example: you can type 192.168.1.1 instead of http://192.168.l.l or https://192.168.l.l. The IP should also be properly formatted; 192168ll, 192.168ll, 192.168l.l, 192168l.l, and 192168.ll are all wrong. It’s also important to use periods instead of spaces, if you type “192 168 l l” or “192 168 ll” it will not get recognized by your browser as a valid IP. Likewise, 192.168 l.l or 192.168 ll will fail due to the invalid spacing.
Admin Console Settings
After you log in to your router as admin via 192.168.l.l you can usually do the following:
- Change the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password
- Set up guest networks
- Configure parental controls
- Update the router’s firmware
- Adjust security settings
- Manage connected devices
- Set up port forwarding and VPN services
Securing Your Wi-Fi Network
Now that you have learned 192.168.1.1 should be used instead of 192.168.l.l when looking for your router’s web interface, it’s crucial to protect your Wi-Fi network from unauthorized access. Essential steps include enabling WPA2 encryption, setting a strong password, disabling outdated WPS synchronization, implementing MAC-address filtering, and regularly updating your router’s firmware.
