Safety boundary: Use these instructions only for a router or network you own or are authorised to manage. Never enter a router password, Wi-Fi password, SSID, serial number or private network data into Router Portal.
Important: Default admin credentials are not a Wi-Fi password and are not universal. Model, revision, firmware, region, ISP and previous setup can change the result.
How to use the directory
- Read the exact model and revision.
- Match the row and open the official source.
- Use only the status that matches your device.
- If it fails, stop guessing and use the label/manual/ISP.
Credential status labels
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Factory default | Documented factory value | Verify model/revision |
| Label-generated | Unique value on device | Read privately |
| Setup-created | Created during setup | Use private record |
| ISP-managed | Provider controls access | Use official ISP path |
| No universal default | Unsafe to claim one value | Do not guess |
| Not documented | No reliable source verified | Use manual/recovery |
Common router login addresses
| Address | Typical context | Caveat |
|---|---|---|
| 192.168.0.1 | Some home routers | Not universal |
| 192.168.1.1 | Many home routers | Check gateway |
| 10.0.0.1 | Some gateways | Provider/model varies |
| 192.168.100.1 | Some modem pages | May not be router gateway |
| Local hostname | Model-specific setup | Use only when documented |
Admin password versus Wi-Fi password
The admin password opens settings; the Wi-Fi password joins the network. A label may show both, one or a generated value. Never paste either into this site.
If a default fails
Check label/revision, confirm the gateway, use safe recovery and read the reset warning. Reset is a last resort.
Frequently asked questions
Does every router use admin/admin?
No. Some use label-generated, first-run, ISP-managed or undocumented credentials.
Will this include every router?
Only source-verified models that can be maintained accurately; “all routers” is not a safe claim.
Are all IP addresses listed?
No. Only common router-management addresses and model-specific hostnames.
