Router Passwords

To login to admin panel of your router you will need to enter username and password. Here's default login details of most popular router companies.

Router manufacturers ship their devices with default admin credentials. These are needed to access the router's settings for the first time. However, using default passwords long-term is a significant security risk.

This page lists the most common default router passwords and explains why you should change them immediately after setup.

Running into issues? Here are the most common problems and their solutions.

Login credentials are not accepted

The default credentials may have been changed by you or your ISP. Check the sticker on the back of the router for the current password. If it was changed and you cannot remember it, a factory reset will restore the defaults.

Disable any VPN or proxy settings on your device. Try a different browser or use incognito/private mode. Clear the browser cache. If you are connected via Wi-Fi, try using an Ethernet cable instead.

How to reset the router to factory settings

Locate the small reset button on the back of the router (you may need a paperclip). Press and hold it for at least 10 seconds until the LEDs start blinking. The router will restart with the factory defaults, including the original login credentials.
