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?

a) Use our web tool while connected to your router

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.

d) Lookup the defaults for your sepcific model

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.


Step 2: Find out the credentials (username & password) for your Linksys router

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.

a) Check the sticker on your router

If you take a peek at the bottom or backside of your Linksys router you will see find a sticker. This sticker should have info about the username and password

b) Try the default settings

Following are the most common default settings for Linksys routers.

Username

Password
admin
IP Address
192.168.1.1
SSID (Wifi name)

If these settings don't work, lookup your sepcific model instead.

c) Linksys model lookup

Start typing in the field below and we will show you the models. (minimum 3 characters)

Don't include "Linksys" in search query

Step 3: How to login to your Linksys router

Now when you have the router's IP address and also the credentials needed, it will be a piece of cake to login to your Linksys router.

1. Open your browser and navigate to the IP you figured out in Step 1

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

Sometimes the browser can misinterpret the IP address and tries to search for it instead, to fix this you should add http:// in front of the IP before hitting enter.
