Today, I will talk to you about how to set up and access the Wi-Fi router in Windows10. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

You can log in to the firmware of the router through a browser. Any browser is fine. In the address field, type the IP address of the router. Most routers use the address of 192.168.1.1. However, this is not always the case, so confirm the address of the router first.

Open a command prompt from Windows. In Windows 7, click the start button, type cmd in the search programs and Files field, and then press the Enter key. In windows 10, simply type cmd in the Cortana search field and press the Enter key. In the command prompt window, type ipconfig at the prompt, and then press Enter. Scroll to the top of the window until you see the default gateway settings under Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This is your router. The number next to it is the IP address of the router.

Close the command prompt window by typing exit at the prompt or clicking "X" in the pop-up window. Type the IP address of the router in the address field of the Web browser and press the Enter key. You need to enter a user name and password to access the firmware of the router. This is the default username and password for the router, or the only username and password that you may create when you set up the router.

If you create a unique user name and password, and you remember what they are, that's great. Simply enter them in the appropriate fields to display the firmware settings for the router. You can now change any element you want, usually a screenshot. On each screen, you may need to apply any changes before moving on to the next screen. When you are finished, you may be asked to log in to the router again. When you are done, just close the browser.

This may not sound too difficult, but there is a problem. What if you don't know the username and password to log in to the router? Many routers use the default username admin and the default password password. You can try and see if they let you in.

If not, some routers provide password recovery. If the router is true, this option appears if you enter the wrong user name and password. Typically, this window asks for the serial number of your router, which you can find at the bottom or side of the router.

Still can't get in? Then you need to mine the default username and password of the router. The way to do this is to do a web search for the brand name of the router and enter a phrase default username and password, such as "netgear router default username and password" or "linksys router default username and password".

The search results should show the default user name and password. Now try to log in to the router using these default credentials. I hope this will get you in. If not, this may mean that you or someone else changed the default username and password at some point. In this case, you may just want to reset the router so that all settings return to their default values. You will usually find a small reset button on the router. Use a pointed object, such as a pen or paper clip, to push and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. Then release the button.

You should now be able to log in to the router with the default username and password. You can change the network name, network password, and security level. You should also browse each screen to see if there are any other settings to modify. If you are not sure how to set it up, documentation and built-in help should be provided to help you use these screens. Most current or recent routers also have setup wizards that can handle some work for you.

Whether you use an Internet provider's router or buy your own router, the process of logging in to the router should be the same. Whether you use a dedicated router or a provider-provided combined modem / router, it should be the same.

*, you can and should change the username and password of the router from its default value. This better protects the router so that only you can access the firmware. Just remember the new credentials so that you don't have to struggle to find them or eventually reset the router.
