192.168.1.1 – 19216811

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. 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 the backbone of your wireless network, all other laptops, phones, tablets, and other smart devices you use to get a private IP address that is connected to 192.168.1.1. For example, if you first connect your phone to the network, it will 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. 

How to Login to 192.168.1.1

The 192.168.1.1 private IP address gives you full control over your wireless router, and from there – of your network at home or the office. To access the devices admin panel, you need to first:

• Have an internet-capable device at hand. 
• Make sure that your router is up and running.
• Ensure you are connected to the right network.

Once you’ve fulfilled these prerequisites, open an internet browser of your choice – Chrome, Mozilla, Opera, and Safari, as well as any other of the popular choices, will do the trick. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and hit enter. 

The next screen will prompt you to use the router’s username and password to access the admin panel. You will find the default logins on the back of the device. They are usually written on the label that bears the router’s brand and model. Another place you may look for them is the manufacturer’s website or the user manual from the box. 

If you have bought your 192.168.1.1 wireless router 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 logins, 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.

How to Change Route IP Address to 192.168.1.1 or another IP?

One of the first things you might want to change when you get into the admin panel of your 192.168.1.1 wireless router is the default private IP. Since the device’s manufacturer assigns 192.168.1.1 as the private IP of all routers they produce, this makes your network vulnerable to hacker attacks. To change your private IP from the default router address 192.168.1.1 to another one:

• Go to General Settings (or similarly named tab) in the admin panel.
• Open “Network Settings”
• Scroll to “Router Settings”
• Type the new private IP address
• Save the changes.

Make sure to write down or remember the new IP address you choose. After the change, you won’t be able to access the admin panel at 192.168.1.1. You will have to use the new login IP address. 

Difference between 19216811, 192.168.l.l and 192.168.1.1

One reason for not being able to access your router’s admin panel at 192.168.1.1 is that the device has a different default IP. Another is that you are mistyping the address. Make sure you aren’t trying to go to 192.168.l.l where l.l is a string of lowercase “Ls”. While both addresses look the same at first glance, your router isn’t able to recognize the different symbols.
