Even if 192.168.1.1 is printed on the back of the device it might have been changed in the past by anyone who accessed the device. To find the IP address of your router:
- Launch the command prompt.
- Type:
ipconfig /all
- Hit “Enter”.

Very often a glitch on your router can prevent you from logging in to its settings page. The webinterface can become unavailable after a long period of work without reboot. So, power cycle your router, wait for two minutes and try to access the login page once again:
Is Your iPhone or Android Device Connected to Your PC?
Make sure all your smartphones are disconnected from your PC, because this can play a trick on you. For instance, if you connect your iPhone to your PC using the USB cable just for charging purposes, it can start working as a USB modem (if the tethering is enabled) and your PC will change the default gateway from your Wireless router IP-address to your iPhone’s one. In such a case you will never be able to access the router settings page even if you enter the right IP-address, username and password. The same can happen with Android phone or tablet because they can act as USB modems too.
Solve Problems with Your Browser
First of all try another browser to access router’s configuration page at 192.168.1.1 or another IP address. Check browser settings and make sure:
- proxy is disabled for local addresses:
- there is no policy on Google Chrome (how to remove policies from Chrome);
- there are no extensions installed that are able to change IP addresses and routes.
At last reset browser’s settings:

- Ensure IP/DNS are set to be obtained automatically: If a static IP is manually assigned to your network card it may be from another subnet or conflict with your router’s LAN IP address:
- Clear the Hosts file.
- Delete static routes.
