This guide will show you how to aqcuire both, and how to use them for logging in to your router.
First we will need to figure out the IP address of your router.
Here you have 4 easy options. There are also harder ways, but why bother with those?
The far easiest way, provided that you have access to connect to the network of the router, is to go over to our automatic tool page and it will find your Linksys router's IP in a jiff.
Auto find IP addressComparing all Linksys models, these are the most common default IP addresses:
6068 users of our tool have reported the IP addresses for their Linksys routers and here is the summary of the most common addresses.

192.168.100.1 |

In the next step where you can lookup the username and password for your specific Linksys model, you will also see the default IP address for that model.
If you don't know the username and password to your router, you can find it out in the following way. This only works as long as you haven't changed the username and password previosly.
If you, or someone, has changed the default password and can't remember it, you might have to perform a reset of your router to get it back to the default values. See here how to reset your Linksys router here.

In the url field simply enter the IP address that you figured out.

this you should add http://
in front of the IP before hitting enter.
This is as easy as it sounds, simply enter the username and password for your router, and click login. If all goes well you will now be logged in to your Linksys router and can make the modifications you want.
