All Router Brands - Login Directory

Scroll through the list and a few patterns jump out. About half of all brands settled on 192.168.1.1, which is why that address became shorthand for "router login" in the first place. The 192.168.0.1 camp is mostly D-Link, Tenda and cable ISPs. And then there are the stubborn outliers that picked something nobody else uses: MikroTik at 192.168.88.1, Buffalo at 192.168.11.1, Fritz!Box at 192.168.178.1, SonicWall at the memorable 192.168.168.168.

The bigger shift is generational. Every mesh system designed after about 2016 (Eero, Nest WiFi, Deco, Velop) dropped the web panel partly or entirely in favour of a phone app. Great for guided setup, annoying when you need one specific setting the app doesn't expose. Traditional brands like Asus and Netgear still maintain full web panels, which is a real reason power users keep buying them.

Credentials tell a story too. Old-school defaults like admin/admin survive mainly on cheaper hardware and in markets where ISPs don't customise firmware. Western ISPs have largely moved to unique per-device passwords printed on the label, after years of botnets like Mirai feasting on routers that still had factory logins. If your router was made in the last five years, odds are decent the password on the sticker is unique to your unit.

If your router brand is not in this list, the fastest way to find the admin panel is to run ipconfig on Windows or ip route show default on Mac/Linux. The Default Gateway address shown is always your router IP, regardless of brand. Type it into your browser to reach the login page.

The credentials are almost always printed on a label on the bottom or back of the router. Look for fields labeled "Admin Password," "Router Password," or "PIN." Some ISP-provided routers use a unique password per device - the default is never "admin" on these units.
