Many users, when purchasing a router, may experience problems with it even before connecting. Often it is not possible to even enter the router settings. When you try to enter the address 192.168.1.1 (or another one, which is most often written on the bottom panel of the device), the message “Unable to connect to the remote server” appears. In this article we will talk about how to solve this problem.

1.1 Checking the connection between the router and the computer

As a rule, a connection cable comes with the router. If your device does not have one, you will have to purchase it. The cable must be connected to the computer, even if you plan to work on wireless connection. Next you need to follow the appropriate instructions:

  • Turn on the router and connect it using a special cable to your laptop or computer. (Most often, the cord input is marked yellow on the router body.
  • The LAN indicator on the router should light up.
  • Wait for the computer to find a connection to the router. (First, the network icon will have a yellow triangle with exclamation mark. This is fine)
  • If you managed to connect the router, go to any browser and enter address bar address 192.168.1.1.
  • If it doesn’t work, continue setting it up.
  • The laptop could connect to the device via Wi-Fi. If so, disconnect from your wireless network.
  • Next, connect the router using a cable.
  • Check the IP address. Sometimes it may not be 192.168.1.1. (In TP-Link you can see it in the settings and login/password section)
  • Some routers have the IP address listed on the bottom panel.

You need to enter the address in the address bar, and not in the search. Many inexperienced users make this mistake, which is why they cannot enter the settings.

If all of the above methods do not help, try using other browsers.

Sometimes your computer or router may not have automatic IP and DNS retrieval enabled.

1.2 Checking the computer settings

  • Click on the network icon in the lower right corner of your desktop. After that, go to Network and Sharing Center shared access».
  • On the left you will find the section “Change adapter settings”. In it you need to go to “Connect via local network" and select "Properties".
  • Next, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and go to “Properties”. There, check the box next to “Obtain IP and DNS addresses automatically.” Save the changed settings.
  • If after all the manipulations you are unable to enter the router settings, the problem may be in the device itself.
  • Setting up via “My Computer”
  • Go to “My Computer” and select the “Network Infrastructure” tab.
  • Next, click on “View web page” right click.
  • After this, the browser will automatically turn on and the router page will load.

This method works if you have changed the router's IP address. This may happen accidentally when setting up the device.


1.3 I enter the settings, but the username and password are incorrect, what should I do?

  • In this case, you just need to indicate the login and password that are indicated on the information sticker.
  • Most often it is located on the bottom of the router. If the login page constantly reloads after entering your password, enter standard data.
  • If entering standard data does not help, reset the settings to factory settings. Sometimes it happens that the adjuster from the provider entered his own login and password, but did not inform you. In this case, you will have to reset the settings and carry out all the manipulations again.
  • There is another option in which the router may simply break down. Most often the reason for this is unsuccessful firmware. You can try to restore it, but most likely you will have to think about purchasing a new one. If the indicators are blinking strangely, then the problem is in the router firmware.

2 Expert opinion

“In the local network connection settings in the gateway, 192.168.1.1 should be specified. The address must be the same. If you cannot change the settings yourself, then it is better to contact a specialist, as the situation can be complicated. I do not recommend resetting the settings yourself without writing down the manual. this process because you don't have internet", writes Internet user Valery.

We hope that you were able to find the answer to the question of what to do if you can’t access the router settings? If problems still arise, try repeating all of the above manipulations.

A router is special equipment that provides Internet access to computers, laptops and modern gadgets (smartphones, Cell phones and tablets). But there may be problems with it. One of the most common is when the user cannot open the local settings page at 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.0.1 (depending on the model and manufacturer).

So in my story I want to consider the reasons for the failure and the main options for successfully resolving the problem.

Why can't I log into my router via 192.168.1.1?

I draw your attention and strongly recommend that before you start searching and solving the problem, you carefully read the operating instructions for the router you are using. Check if you did everything correctly? Standard login details WiFi settings router from the browser - local website address http://192.168.1.1 with login and password admin admin, respectively.

Well, if it doesn’t work out, then we’ll look at the steps step by step that are suitable for all routers from different manufacturers.

So, information appears in your browser - the page is unavailable or cannot be opened. There are quite a lot of reasons.

1. There is no connection to the router (see if the cable is connected):

  • faulty cable or connector (try replacing it with another one);
  • not installed WiFi connection(check your computer or gadget settings);
  • no drivers network Wi-Fi card/adapter (install the latest drivers);
  • The cable is not connected correctly (rectify the problem).

2. Automatic IP acquisition is not configured.

3. The router's IP address has been changed. Check the equipment operating instructions or on the sticker on the back of the router.

4. Router is faulty. Replace the equipment with new one.

First, you should perform the simplest steps; if the error does not resolve, then we go through the options step by step:

  • try to log into the router settings web page from another browser;
  • check that the router is connected to the power supply, and if necessary, turn on the device;
  • restart your computer (laptop or gadget) and router;
  • try logging in to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 from any other device;
  • temporarily disable antivirus and firewall protection;
  • wrong network path (check that the IP address entered into the browser is correct, it is usually indicated in the instructions and on the bottom of the router, on a sticker).

I hope you were able to solve the login problems

Now, probably, even schoolchildren know that a router is a mini-computer and must be configured before using it. But with all this, not everyone knows how to go into the router settings. But really, how?! For beginners and housewives, this is completely “Chinese writing”, on a par with the inscriptions on the Egyptian pyramids! We will help you figure it all out! At least logging into the router won’t seem like such an abstruse activity for computer geeks. So, let's go!

The web interface of the router and what it is used for

All settings of a modern Wi-Fi router are collected in one graphical interface, which is called the web interface or web configurator. Many users also call it “router site” or “ Personal Area router".

Although this is wrong, it is not without logic. The fact is that in order to go into the router settings, you need to use a regular web browser with which you surf the Internet - Chrome, Opera, Explorer or Firefox. So it turns out that you need to go to the router’s website to configure it, and the sequence of actions in order to enter the router settings is as simple as 5 kopecks.

192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 - which address to use?!

So, great, we already realized that all this is easy and simple, but we haven’t yet figured out how to log into the router’s web interface. To do this, you need to know its IP address. How to recognize him?! Again, nothing complicated! Let's take this infernal piece of iron in our hands and turn it over! On the back there should be a sticker with a bunch of letters and numbers. Here is both the model and serial number and a bunch of other similar nonsense. Among all this riot of information, we need to find the IP address of the device. This is what it will look like on the sticker:

Typically, an IP address of either or is used to access the router settings. Less common are addresses 192.168.100.1, 192.168.8.1, 10.0.0.1 or some other. The username and password for logging in are usually indicated next to it. In the example in the picture this is the login admin and password admin.

Many modern network devices use a text domain address instead of IP. Example - tplinkwifi.net TP-Link routers, my.keenetic.net Zyxel Keenetic, router.asus.com for ASUS routers.

There is no need to be scared - everything is the same, but in a slightly different form. Everything is used the same way - launch a web browser (Chrome, Opera, Firefox, IE, etc.) and enter either the IP address of the Wi-Fi router or its URL in the address bar. That's all!

Why can't I access my router settings?

As my experience tells me, very often problems with access to the web interface begin at the very first stage. And it seems like you’re doing everything correctly, the device is working, the lights are blinking, but for some reason you can’t enter the router settings. Not at all, from the word “at all.” What to do and how to be?! Let's find out!

1. The router website does not open

You enter the IP address of the router in the browser, and in response you receive the error “Page not found” or “Cannot access the site.”

There are several reasons for this. The most common one is simply device operation glitch- try rebooting it and checking the router settings again.

The second most popular reason is banal errors in writing the router address. You must write it in the address bar as it is written on the sticker. That is, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Users, as a rule, begin to be completely stupid, inventing something of their own. For example, they replace numbers with letters - like this: 192.168.l.l or 192.168.o.l - of course it won’t work like that! The IP address must consist of numbers, but the system will misunderstand letters! Sometimes they manage to forget about the dots in the address - 19216811, or add more parts - 192.168.0.1.1 - this will not work either.

Quite common problems with network card settings on a computer or laptop. The solution is also quite simple. Press the keys Win And R to open the Run window. Enter the open command in the line ncpa.cpl and press the “Enter” key, after which we will see a list of network Windows connections. Right-click on the one to which the router is connected and select “Properties”:

Then, as shown in the figure, double-click on the line “Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” to open the third window - network connection properties. There we check the boxes to automatically obtain an IP address and DNS servers. This should be done in most cases, since the DHCP server should be enabled on the router by default and it distributes the IP, which means the computer should pick it up automatically!

If this does not help, try registering the IP on the network card statically. Like this:

This is in case the DHCP server is on network device is turned off or not working properly. If you suddenly receive the error “IP address conflict on the network”, enter a different address - 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4, etc.

If none of the advice I listed above helped, try this. Run command line and write the command in it:

Ping -t

That is, if the router has an address of 192.168.0.1, then the command will look like this:

Ping 192.168.0.1 -t

Press the “Enter” key to launch the Ping command. Thanks to the “-t” switch, packets will be sent continuously, and not in 4 requests, as is done by default. Next, you will need to try one by one connecting the patch cord coming from the computer to all ports of the router one by one.

The trick here is that modern routers can reassign LAN ports for different purposes - IPTV, SIP telephony, etc. You will not be able to access the router settings through such a port. That's why it's worth checking the other ports. As a rule, if the device is “live”, then it will respond on one of the ports.

2. The factory default password admin admin is not suitable

This is the most interesting situation. It usually occurs either among absent-minded people who forget everything, or among those who did not set up their own router or modem, leaving it in the hands of a third-party configurer or simply entrusting this process to friends, acquaintances, etc.

And the result in both cases is sad - it is not possible to enter the router settings using the default factory password and a login or password error is displayed. What to do? Unfortunately, in 999 cases out of a thousand, there is only one solution - reset the router settings. To do this, it has a special “Reset” button, which can be found on the back of the case, next to the connectors. She looks like this:

Resetting the router settings is usually quite simple - click “Reset” and hold it for 8-10 seconds. In this case, it is better to look at the front panel indicators. When they all light up at once or, on the contrary, go out, you need to release the button and wait normal loading devices. But ATTENTION!!!- after resetting the settings, your router will again look as if it had just been taken out of the box and unpacked. That is, for normal operation it will be necessary to configure it again. But the factory login admin and password admin will work again!

“Why can’t I log into the router at http://192.168.1.1, but the Internet works on Windows 7 or 10”, “What should I do if my personal account does not open on the site 192.168.1.1 on the admin-admin site, and I can’t get to the modem settings menu." These and similar questions today are replete with letters that come to our technical support via Yandex from users of Zyxel Keenetic, Asus, Rostelecom, Beeline, MTS and some TP-Link routers. Why is there such a problem with entering system settings? wifi router via the web interface from a computer or phone using a standard login and password? How to open a personal account? In this article I decided to fully reveal her solution.

Login to router 192.168.1.1 does not open due to connection to the wrong wifi network

So, the first reason why it is impossible to log into the router at https://192.168.1.1 is that you are connected to the wrong network. For example, you have several sources wifi signal— two routers or an access point plus an amplifier. And you have in your computer’s memory the data for connecting to each of them, but after waking up from sleep mode, the PC chose the wrong network.

It also often happens that neighboring apartments have routers from the same manufacturer. And by default, their signals are not password protected and have similar names. By mistake, you can easily connect to someone else’s network instead of your own. Although, today I can hardly imagine anyone working with password-free wifi, so this option is more like a fantasy.

The Asus, Zyxel Keenetic and Rostelecom router does not enter settings 192.168.1.1 due to an incorrect address

But the most common reason why the browser does not enter the router settings is an incorrectly entered address. For routers manufactured by Asus, Zyxel Keenetic, as well as branded devices from Rostelecom, there may be three types of errors:

  • This model has an address other than 192.168.1.1
  • incorrectly entered values ​​- 192.168.l.l
  • the address has been changed by the previous owner

Invalid modem login address

First of all, you need to make sure that the entry to the settings is located exactly at 192.168.1.1. It is used by default for Asus, Zyxel Keenetic and some TP-Link routers and modems. It is also relevant for branded routers from the Rostelecom provider. To clarify this point, look at the sticker located on the bottom of the device. It shows the correct value. It can be either an IP, like Asus:


Either a web address or hostname. This is done in all Kinetics.


If you look at TP-Link models, you will most often see 192.168.0.1 or
(). But sometimes 192.168.1.1 comes across.


Spelling error

Another error due to which the browser does not enter the 192.168.1.1 settings is the incorrect spelling of the IP address. Thus, inexperienced users confuse the letter “l” with the number “1”. Externally, on a computer screen, they are indeed very similar. The result is “http://192.168.l.l” - but it is clear that this is fundamentally incorrect. And you won’t be able to access any router settings using this “address”.


The same applies to any prefixes, such as HTTP or endings - RU, NET, COM, HTML:

Once again, the login address should look like

No spaces, dashes or anything else. Otherwise, you will always end up in search results.

The default address has been changed

If you are not setting up a new router that you just took out of the box, but an already used one. Then there is a possibility that its default IP address 192.168.1.1 was changed to another during the previous configuration. For example, on 192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1, 192.168.4.1, 192.168.5.1 and so on.


Then the easiest way is to reset it so that . If there is some important data in the parameters and you don’t want to lose it, then it’s very easy to find out its current value. You need to open the network adapter status information. How to do this is described in detail in our article about

Errors in source settings 192.168.1.1 on the computer

Finally, another reason why the website http://192.168.1.1 does not open on a computer or laptop is incorrect network adapter settings. Typically, a router is installed by those users who previously had a PC connected to the Internet via cable. Accordingly, it was directly stuck into network card, and some data may have been specified in its parameters. But now the router has taken over its function of connecting to the provider, and accordingly they no longer work, but only interfere.

To go to the network adapter settings, you need to open the “Network and Sharing Center”


Here go to “Change adapter settings”


And right-click on your connection. If you have wifi, then select “ Wireless network" If the computer is connected to the router with a cable, then “Ethernet”. And in the drop-down menu go to “Properties”


Here we click on “Internet Protocol Version 4” and check the “Obtain automatically” IP address and DNS server checkboxes.


We save the changes and try again to type the site address “http://192.168.1.1”. I'm sure everything will work out this time!

Login and password Admin-Admin or Password for 192.168.1.1 are not suitable

Finally, let's look at the case when the address is opened, but it is not possible to enter the settings when using the login-password pair “Admin-Admin”. Yes, indeed, it is universal for most router models, such as Asus, TP-Link or D-Link. However, there are exceptions. For example, “1234” can be used as a password, as is done by Edimax.


But for Zyxel Keenetic, Netis, Mercusys and Tenda, the password is set at the first login. This means that if you don’t know him, then logging into the router is forever closed to you. In this case, the only solution is to reset the router to install it again. I also present several working methods in a separate article. Read it, maybe some option will help you.

Thank you! Did not help

Frequently asked user question: why can't I log in Wi-Fi settings router at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1? Indeed, quite often the user cannot enter the router settings because an error is displayed:

Http://192.168.1.1 Web page unavailable

Address to enter settings

Actually, the address of your router's web interface does not necessarily have to be or . These are just the most common variations of the IP address, and only if no one has changed it. In this article we will talk about various reasons for the problem of logging into settings and ways to solve it.

What is a router?

First, let's figure out what a router is. If anyone still doesn’t know, a router (also known as a router) is a device that is used to connect several devices to the Internet at the same time. If you connect your provider's cable directly to your computer (without a router), then the Internet will only work on this PC and you will have to configure it to connect all other devices to the network. And if you have a router in the room, then the provider’s cable is connected to its WAN port, and all other client devices are already connected to the router - some using Ethernet cables, others via Wi-Fi. To put it simply, a router is a kind of “Internet connection splitter,” just like an extension filter in the case of electricity.

To enter the router settings, use any browser - Chrome, Opera, Firefox. In order to enter the settings, you need to enter a special IP address into the address bar of your browser. Most often these addresses are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1, but there may be others.

Unfortunately, people often have problems logging into their router settings at these addresses. And if you can't get into the web settings panel, you won't be able to access the web. There are many reasons for the problem. And in this article we have collected all the reasons and their solutions known to us.
Today we will answer the following questions:

  • How to configure the network card to log into the web interface at 192.168.1.1 (192.168.0.1)?
  • Why can’t I access the settings of my router, modem or access point?
  • In what cases, when trying to open the settings page of the 192.168.1.1 router, does the “page unavailable” error appear?
  • Why, when trying to enter the settings of a router (modem, access point), does it redirect to Google search or Yandex?

What is 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1

192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 are IP addresses through which you can access your settings Wi-Fi router. Inexperienced users often call the router settings a website and say “I can’t go to the settings site.” This is not entirely true. Indeed, the router settings are a web page, but it is not located on the Internet, but is hardwired into the router itself. Therefore, instead of saying “site with settings”, it is better to express it correctly and the phrase “router web interface” or simply “router settings”.

What is the default IP address of the router settings?

The factory address of the router settings can be found:

  • in the instructions

The instructions always come with the device either in paper form or as a PDF document on disk, and very often both. In addition, setup instructions can always be downloaded from the official website of the router (access point, modem) manufacturer.

  • on the sticker

Typically, it is located on the bottom of the case or on the back of it. Here is an example from the D-Link DIR-300 router:

And this is what the TP-Link TL-WR841ND sticker looks like:

What IP should I register on my computer to access http://192.168.1.1

For initial setup The router needs to be connected to any of its LAN ports with the computer’s network card:

And to enter the settings interface, you need the IP address of the network adapter to be in the same subnet as the router address. Most routers have a DHCP server enabled by default. This means that in the settings of your computer’s network adapter you just need to specify receiving IP automatically.

To do this, right-click on the network icon near the clock and select Network and Sharing Center:

  • Click on the link with the name of your network connection.
  • Select Properties.
  • Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4.
  • Click the button Properties.
  • Set both switches to Automatically.
  • Click OK:

But when setting up access points, repeaters (repeaters) or other network equipment, you need to assign an IP address to your computer manually, which in system administrator jargon is called “setting an IP address in the first place.” Go to settings and manually assign an address to the network card. For example, if the default IP of the router is 192.168.1.1, assign network adapter any address from the range 192.168.1. 2-254 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 :

Accordingly, in order to access http://192.168.0.1, you need to enter (for example) 192.168.0.24

Login to router settings

Why doesn’t the address 192.168.1.1 (192.168.0.1) open and an error appears?

So, first we will analyze the situation when, instead of the router settings page, an error like Web-page is unavailable:

1. You are entering an incorrect IP address.

Your router has a different default address (for example, 192.168.0.1 rather than 192.168.1.1) or the address has been changed to something else in the settings (for example, 192.168.0.254).

Solution

Find out the current IP of your router. This can be done both with and on iOS or Android:

Enter the correct settings address in the address bar in the format http://192.168.1.1

2. The router’s IP address is in a different subnet

This often happens after changing the IP router or if the computer address is configured manually.

Solutions

Option 1. If you know the router's IP, assign an address from the same range to your computer's network card.

Option 2: If you don't know, follow these steps:

  • Make sure your computer is connected to the router's LAN port.
  • Set to receive network settings automatically.

  • View network connection information. The gateway address will be the router address.

  • Enter the correct IP into the browser line.

3. The browser has a proxy server enabled

This also includes the included Turbo mode in Opera or Yandex Browser, as well as various applications and extensions that change IP - for example, . In addition, the browser may be infected with malware. Under all these circumstances, attempts to log into the control panel at addresses 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1 or any others may result in an error.

Solutions to the problem

  • Disable Turbo
  • Disable the proxy server. You can also try checking the box Don't use a proxy for local addresses or add the router address to the exceptions.
  • Scan your computer for viruses using and.

4. Network interface is disabled

  • Enable the network interface.

To do this, log in Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network connections- Change adapter settings, right-click on the desired interface and select Turn on:

  • Switch the patch cord to another network card if you have several of them.
  • Install latest version drivers for the network adapter.

5. The power to the router is turned off or there is a problem with the network cable

Check the power supply and integrity of the patch cord. Try replacing the cable:

6. A non-standard port is used to enter the router settings

In the settings of many routers (for example, the popular manufacturer TP-Link), you can specify not only the address, but also the port through which the web configuration interface will be available. If the port specified is not standard (that is, not 80), then to enter the settings you will need to specify its number separated by a colon after the address. For example:

Http://192.168.1.1:43011

Therefore, in this case you have three options:

  • find out the port number from the person who configured the router;
  • try to enter the settings using the host name, for example tplinkwifi.net(naturally, if you have a TP-Link router). You will be redirected to the correct IP address and port (usually 192.168.0.1);

7. Router malfunction or failure

Perform a factory reset

Signs that the router is faulty:

  • no internet or network;
  • no indicator lights up;
  • I can't enter settings.

Can't access 192.168.1.1 (192.168.0.1) from iPhone and Android

Very common mistake when trying to access the router settings from a phone: when entering the username on iPhone and Android, the first letter is entered as a capital letter. This leads to the error " The username or password you entered is incorrect“, and you can’t understand what’s the matter. To enter your login correctly:

Why does it redirect me to Google or Yandex when I try to access the settings web interface?

1. You enter 192.168.1.1 without http://

Some browsers, instead of going to http://, will redirect you to a search by numbers:

Type the URL in the address bar, starting with 'http':

http://192.168.1.1

2. Commas instead of periods

If you type in the Russian keyboard, then commas may appear instead of periods:

192,168,1,1

In this case, you will also be redirected to the search engine.

Enter the correct URL in your browser starting with http:// and click Enter:

3. Letters instead of numbers in the IP address

Sometimes, for some unknown reason (most likely, of course, out of ignorance), people enter the letters “i” instead of ones. As a result, instead of an IP address you get the awkward 192.168.I.I or 192.168.l.l and after that you end up in the search instead of the router settings page.

The most common addresses, logins and passwords

For novice users: if you don’t have a sticker on your router, don’t have instructions, the Internet doesn’t work, etc., here are the most common default details.
