How to login to a router through Internet Explorer

A router is basically a splitter of an Ethernet cable. Routers are the most used to connect several computers to the Internet through the same connection. They can also be used to configure a local network, with or without an Internet connection. Each router comes with some basic software, called firmware, that controls the router’s configuration. Access to this software is like access to a web page. You need to know your router address and login credentials.

Login to Router using Internet Explorer

  1. Open Internet Explorer
  2. Type “http: //”, then the router’s IP address. Linksys and 3Com routers use “192.168.1.1” as the IP address. D-Link and Netgear routers use “192.168.0.1” as the IP address. Microsoft Broadband routers use ” 192.168.2.1″ as the IP address. Check the router manual if none of these is your address.
  3. Press the “Enter” button.
  4. Type “admin” in the Username box and “admin” in the password box if you use a 3Com, Linksys or Microsoft Broadband router. For Netgear routers, use “password” as the password and for D-Link, leave the password box blank. Check the router manual if necessary to find 192.168.l.l default login credentials.
  5. Press the “Enter” button to log in to the router.

Tip

  • Many (but not all) routers use 192.168.1.1 as the router address. Check the router owner’s manual for the correct IP address, administrator username and password.
