If you look carefully you will see that the legitimate IP address ends with number “0”, a dot, and then number “1”. The erroneous IP address ends with the letter “o”, a dot, and then the number “1”. This is incorrect, as IP addresses can only contain numbers not letters. In order to successfully access your Wi-Fi router, you should replace the letter “o” with the number “0”.
Do not type “www” before the IP address! If you try to go to www.192.168.O.1 it will not work, as your web browser will be searching the world wide web instead of looking for a local IP.

Can’t Remember Username or Password?
If you typed in 192.168.0.1 (instead of 192.168.O.1) and see a router login page, awesome job you used the right IP address. In order to get control of the router, however, you now need to successfully log in which could be difficult if you forgot your username or password. If this is your first time logging into the router, the username and password are likely not custom (assuming a roommate or family member has never played with the settings). If the settings have never been changed, the router should have a default login username and password.
Default Username & Password
You can often find a router’s default username and default password on the back of the router itself. Default login details may also be provided in the router’s instruction manual, or inside the box the router came in. If you have previously setup the router and the username or password has been changed, the default credentials will obviously no longer work. If the username or password has been changed and you forget what it is, you can reset the router by holding down the ‘reset’ button with a paper clip for at least 10 seconds. This will restore the router to factory settings, which should allow the default password and username to be used once again.
Popular 192.168.O.1 Passwords
If you are not able to locate your router’s password, it might be possible to guess it. This is because many 192-168-O-1 routers use the exact same login defaults:
Default username: admin
Default password: admin or password
If you achieve success with one of these default logins, it would be smart to change the router password to something more secure.
192.168.O.1 vs. https://192.168.O.1
When attempting to log in to a Wi-Fi router, you should not need to type “http” or “https” before the actual IP address. For example: you can enter 192.168.O.1 instead of http://192.168.O.1 or https://192.168.O.1. If the router uses SSL encryption, going to 192.168.O.1 or http://192.168.O.1 should automatically forward to https://192.168.O.1. If your web browser says the connection is unsecure, it likely means your router doesn’t support SSL and therefore uses “http” instead of “https”. In some cases, it’s possible to update the router’s firmware to enable the secure protocol for transmitting data. This can also add other upgrades to the router’s configuration page such as the ability to setup a firewall or remote management.
It’s also important to type the IP address correctly. If you use the wrong format, a web browser won’t interpret as a local IP. Here are some examples of erroneous IPs (if you forget even a single dot it will cause failure):
192.168.O1
192168.O.1
192168O1
192.168O1
192168.O1
192.168 O1

Some router’s have a password recovery process, such as entering the router’s serial number and answering a security question. Another common strategy is to physically reset the router to factory settings.

- Modify the Wi-Fi network’s name (also known as the Service Set Identifier or SSID) and password to enhance network recognition and security.
- Configure port forwarding to allow external devices to access services on the network, and set up Virtual Private Network (VPN) services for secure remote access.
- Implement parental controls to restrict access to inappropriate content and manage online time for children.
- Update the router’s firmware, ensuring the network is equipped with the latest features and security patches.
- Enhance network security by adjusting firewall settings and enabling encryption methods.
- Establish guest networks to provide web access to visitors while keeping the main network secure.
- Oversee devices connected to the network, potentially limiting access or assigning priority to certain devices.
192.168.O.1 vs. www.192.168.O.1
Putting “www” before the IP address will stop it from working! For example: if you type www.192.168.O.1 or http://www.192.168.O.1 or https://www.192.168.O.1 your web browser will search the Internet instead of looking for a private IP on your local network. Consequently, when attempting to connect to a home router, “www” should never be used. It is also imperative to use periods not spaces when typing an IP, if you enter “192 168 O 1” it will fail.
