192.168.1.1 is not a website. It is a private address on your own network, and on many home networks it belongs to the router. Typed into a browser, it opens the router’s settings pages. If it does not load, the most likely reason is that your router uses a different address, and you can find the right one in a few seconds.
- What it is
- A private address that only works inside your own network.
- Who uses it
- Linksys, ZyXEL, DrayTek and many internet providers. NETGEAR, TP-Link and D-Link mostly use 192.168.0.1.
- Will not load?
- Check your default gateway. That is your router’s real address.
- Asks for a password?
- It wants the router’s admin password, not your Wi-Fi password.
How to log in at 192.168.1.1
- Connect to the router. Join its Wi-Fi or plug in a network cable. The page works without an internet connection, but not over mobile data or a VPN.
- Type the address into the address bar. Enter
http://192.168.1.1at the top of the browser, not into a search box. A search engine returns pages about 192.168.1.1 instead of your router. - Accept the security warning if one appears. Routers that use https sign their own certificate, so the browser says the connection is not private. On your own router you can choose Advanced, then continue.
- Enter the admin login. On a router nobody has changed, that is the maker’s default or the password printed on its label. Many newer routers ask you to create one the first time instead.

Find your router’s real address
Guessing is slower than asking the phone or computer you are already using. Your router’s address is listed as the default gateway, or just Router.
- Windows: open Command Prompt, type
ipconfigand read the Default Gateway line. - Mac: System Settings, Network, your connection, Details, then TCP/IP. It is shown as Router.
- iPhone and iPad: Settings, Wi-Fi, then the (i) beside your network. It is shown as Router.
- Android: Settings, Network and internet, tap your Wi-Fi network, and look for Gateway, sometimes under Advanced.
- Linux: run
ip route | grep default.
Whatever address that shows is where your router’s login page is. If it shows nothing, your device is not connected to the network.
192.168.l.l and other typing mistakes
A surprising number of people type 192.168.l.l, with the letter l instead of the number 1. That is not an address and will never load. Others type 192.168.1.1.1, or add www. in front. Typed with spaces, as 192 168 1 1, or with a dot missing, as 192.1681.1, it goes to a search engine rather than the router. The address is exactly four numbers separated by three dots.
It is the right address and still will not load
Check these in order:
- You are on the wrong network. Mobile data, a guest Wi-Fi network or a neighbour’s Wi-Fi your device joined by itself will not reach your router.
- A VPN is running. Most VPNs send all traffic, including local addresses, through the tunnel. Turn it off and try again.
- The browser is forcing https. Some routers only answer on plain http. Try a private window or a different browser.
- Admin access is limited. Business routers often only allow the login page from one port or one network.
Our fuller guide covers the rarer causes: why the router page will not load when the internet works fine.
It loads and asks for a password
That is the router’s admin password, which opens the settings. It is not the Wi-Fi password that joins the network, even when both are printed on the same label.
- Look up your model. Find the maker in the brand list, or your internet provider on the providers by country page.
- Check the label. Many routers, and most from internet providers, print a unique admin password on the back or base.
- If it has been changed, work through how to find your router password. A factory reset is the last resort, because it clears every setting.
Wanted the Wi-Fi password instead? That is a different password: see how to find your Wi-Fi password.
Why routers use 192.168 addresses
The 192.168.0.0 range is set aside for private networks and never used on the public internet. That is why millions of homes can use 192.168.1.1 at the same time: none of those addresses leaves the building, and the router translates between them and your one public address. It also means nobody can reach your 192.168.1.1 from outside your home, and a website that offers to connect you to “your router” over the internet cannot do it.
Questions people ask
Can I open 192.168.1.1 on my phone?
Yes. Connect the phone to the router’s Wi-Fi, turn off mobile data if the page will not load, and type the address into the browser. Many makers also offer an app that does the same job.
Is 192.168.1.1 safe?
It is your own router, so visiting it is safe. The risk is leaving the admin password at its default, because anyone who joins your network could then change your settings. Change it once you are in.
What is 192.168.0.1?
The other common router address. NETGEAR, TP-Link, D-Link, Sky and Virgin Media routers usually use it. Our 192.168.0.1 guide covers it in full, including the names you can type instead.
