Default 192.168.1.1 Username and Password
If you own a Linksys router, browse the default passwords list to find the username and password that belong to your specific router. That list shows lots of model numbers that you can use to look up your router’s default login information. If 192.168.1.1 is used to access your NETGEAR router, use the NETGEAR default password list instead. D-Link routers may also use the 192.168.1.1 address. If you have a D-Link router with that address, a different list of D-Link routers can help you find the default username and password combo that goes with it.
The Default 192.168.1.1 Password Doesn’t Work
If 192.168.1.1 is the address to your router, but you can’t use the default password or username to log in, the default password or username was changed at some point after the router was installed. If you’ve tried every password you can think of, and nothing has worked, you’ll need to reset the router back to factory defaults. Resetting (not rebooting) a router removes any custom settings you’ve applied to it, which is why resetting will remove the username and password that it was changed to. However, other custom settings are also deleted, including wireless network settings, custom DNS servers, and port forwarding options.
