What is 192.168.1.1

192.168.1.1 is a default private Internet Protocol (IP) address that manufacturers assign to wireless routers they produce. 192.168.1.1 is also known as the default gateway, which allows devices on a network to access the router and subsequently the internet. The private IP is the basis of your home or office network. The router uses it as a PO box that other internet-capable devices go to when they want to request data packets from across the internet, or if they are to receive such packets. As so to say the “backbone” of your wireless network, all other laptops, phones, tablets, and other smart devices you use would get a private IP address that is connected to 192.168.1.1 or as you might have mistyped it – 1921681. For example, if you first connect your phone to the network, it will naturally have the 192.168.1.2 private IP. Then, if you log onto the network with your computer, its private IP will become 192.168.1.3. The printer you connect next gets 192.168.1.4 and so on. It is important to know that while the manufacturer assigns 192.168.1.1 as your router’s private IP, it is not the one you use to connect to the internet. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) picks up the so-called public IP and assigns it to the router so that it can access the World Wide Web. 192.168.1.1, however, remains the address you can use to optimize your network and get the most out of your wireless experience.

If you have bought your 192.168.1.1 router or access point second-hand, if your ISP originally set it up for you, the original logins may not work. If you can’t contact the previous owner, or the ISP, to learn the new login credentials, you still don’t have cause to worry. To fix being locked out of your router, you will just have to factory reset it. Be advised that this method will erase all changes previously made to your network, and you will have to start setting it up from scratch. To factory reset your router, locate the reset button at the back. It is usually next to the power button, and you may have to access it with a safety pin. Press and hold the reset button for 15 to 30 seconds, until the lights at the front start blinking. Release the reset button and boot up the router. You should now be able to log into your router’s admin panel at 192.168.1.1.
