Routers and switches. Setting and changing the password The hosts file has been changed

When you try to go into the router settings at 192.168 1.1, nothing opens? You can, of course, call a specialist who will charge the price of a new router for the service... But why deny yourself free pleasure when “do it yourself” is already before your eyes?

By wire or by air?

In older models of routers (for security reasons), access to settings over the air was prohibited: only you can insert the power cord, but over the air even a hacker neighbor can “get in.”

New router models allow settings over the air, and the reason for this is ultrabooks (so thin that they lost a network connector), tablets and smartphones (initially, they did not receive network connectors on thin cases).

If a wired connection is possible, use it.

Is there a connection?

First of all, we check whether there is a wired connection, that is, we look at the router and the computer. Unlike a garland, the diodes on the body will not create a New Year's mood for you, but they will report on the current state of affairs.

LAN- wired network. The same indicator is also on the PC’s network card or directly on the network socket. The latter could have been a sacrifice for the sake of the laptop’s compactness, but it’s still worth trying to find the indicator.

WAN- connection “from the provider to the router”. If you connected your computer here, then you simply have the wrong socket - you need it on the LAN. For compact models, LAN and WAN sockets can be combined in one.

As for the indication itself, everything is extremely simple: on - there is a connection, blinking - data is being transmitted, off - no connection.

Maybe the address is different, and not 192.168 1.1?

Router manufacturers are prudent people. They freed users from the need to read instructions by placing the most important things right on the case. By turning the device in your hands, you can read the “address for entering settings” on the back side. Maybe you don’t have 192.168.1.1 at all?

If the penultimate block of numbers contains a zero instead of a one (192.168.0.X instead of 192.168.1.X), then the computer and the router cannot connect if they are in different address groups. Manual tuning will help them achieve mutual understanding.

Finding someone to blame

As the Chinese folk saying goes: if at least two people have done one thing, you can no longer find the culprit. These words apply to network connections as well.

The router has a DCHP service, the main task of which is to automatically distribute IP addresses to connected devices. But alas, it happens that the automation fails - it assigns the same address to several connected people. You can quickly overcome this either by reconnecting to change the address or by assigning the address manually.

It also happens that out of the box (or after resetting the settings) the DHCP service is turned off, and the computer keeps trying and trying to get an address from it...

In any case, manual settings will always help you

Click the network connections icon, then select "Network and Sharing Center."

In the window that appears, you should try clicking on the red cross located on the diagram between the computer and the Internet.

The troubleshooter will launch and attempt to identify and resolve problems automatically.

If the module was able to resolve the problem, it will report this. If not, it will show what exactly it might be.

If the problem is not solved, you should use the right remedy: set the parameters manually... To do this, click “change adapter parameters”.

Then, in the list of connections that appears, select a connection. Right-click on it and select “properties”.

Once in the properties, double-click and select “Internet Protocol Version 4”.

A small window will appear with the settings for those same network addresses. As you can see, everything there is entrusted to automation...

Click “use the following IP address” and see how the fields become available for modification. We enter the address in the first field, paying attention to the penultimate block of numbers of the router's address: if it is zero, you should also enter zero here, if it is one, you enter one. The last block of numbers is to taste, I set it to 34. To fill in the “subnet mask”, just click in its field and it will take on the standard value 255.255.255.0

Click "ok" to apply the settings and leave all windows open (we will need them later).

Open the router in the browser. Now it will definitely open.

Go to the settings for 192.168 1.1 (login and admin password can be found on the device body).

Once in the router settings, find the DHCP service and enable it. This is necessary for automatic distribution of IP addresses and will free you from fiddling with settings.

If you don’t like the address from the manufacturer, you can change it to a more convenient one for you. You don’t even need to know what this setting is called, just find the field with the “address indicated on the case.” To achieve mutual understanding between the router and the gadgets connected to it, write one in the third block.

When everything is configured on the router, all that remains is to “do it as it was” on the computer. To do this, return to the open properties window, double-click on the “Internet Protocol Version 4” item.

In the window that appears, check the box “Obtain an IP address automatically” and click “ok”.

That's it, now any devices can connect both via wire and Wi-Fi without hassle.

If you don't succeed, write in this thread, we will help!

Setting up a modem or router is done through a web interface, which simplifies “communication” with the sometimes capricious hardware.

You can get to the router by typing in the browser; everyone who has ever configured a router knows what this simple address is.

However, if you simply go to the router and enter the necessary settings according to the instructions, a connection to the Internet is not always established.

And it happens that after typing, the computer reports that it is impossible to connect, and in such a situation you have to postpone the instructions and turn on the logic.

We check and configure the Internet connection and Wi-Fi.

The first thing we need to check is, maybe we forgot to connect the computer and the router with a twisted pair cable? Then it is clear that there is no connection and it is impossible to connect. Also, an inexperienced user may confuse the connectors: on the router you need to select one of the LAN ports; the WAN port is not suitable for this.

If everything was done correctly, the indicator on the router corresponding to the corresponding LAN port will light up. However, there are situations when the router is turned on, connected to the computer by cable, but none of the ports come to life. In this case, everything is very sad: the problem lies in the router itself, it needs to be repaired.

We check the computer settings through admin admin addresses 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1.

In the properties of the network connection there should be checkboxes: obtain IP automatically, obtain DNS server address automatically. There should not be any network addresses there; if something remains from the previous settings, then because of this there may very well be problems with logging into the router. It happens that the “get an IP automatically” option doesn’t work, then you have to manually fill in the addresses, but you just need to do it correctly. In particular, you should indicate the router address in the line the default gateway and preferred DNS server.

Also, do not forget about your browser settings. If a proxy server is mentioned in the local network settings, then the computer and the router will probably not become friends. At the same time, let's disable the Windows firewall: there is no special protection against it, but it can interfere.

Here are actually two main directions in which you should look for the reason why such problems arose with setting up the router in the first place. You can still make a mistake if the router's address is not 192.168.1.1, but such an oversight is only possible when the user has not looked at the setup instructions. And sometimes the IP address is written on the router itself; you just need to examine the sticker glued to the bottom or side of the device. The password and login are often indicated there, usually admin and admin.

You try to go to the setup menu of a router, modem or optical ONT terminal via http://192.168.1.1 and the “personal account” of the device does not open. What to do? Call a specialist and pay money? Take your time and don't get discouraged. Let's try to figure out the problem together and decide how to log into the router?!

I think it's useful to know a little theory first:
192.168.1.1 — this is the IP address (IP) of the network device. By default, the network is usually registered on routers: 192.168.1.0/24. In other words, the local network on the router is configured with the first (lowest) address in the subnet - 1, and clients connected via the local network will use addresses with 2 By 254 . In general, this is a generally accepted rule and is configured this way for the vast majority of network devices - Zyxel Keenetic, Lincsys, Cisco, TP-Link, Upvel, Sagemcom, Asus. There are, of course, exceptions. For example, D-Link and Netgear routers use a different subnet by default - 192.168.0.0/24 and accordingly the IP will be - . But, whatever one may say, the numbers are different, but the meaning is the same - that IP 192.168.1.1, that 192.168.0.1 is the address of a network device on the network. In our case -

How to log into the router

Now let's move on to practice. To go into the settings of a WiFi router or ADSL modem, you must enter the address in the browser: http://192.168.1.1. In this case, you do not need to type the protocol at the beginning - http:// or www - the browser itself will automatically enter the required one.

If you have access to the settings, you will see an authorization form on the device, where you will need to enter your login and password (usually to log into the router via 192.168.1.1 you use: admin / admin):

This means that the local network is configured, the router is accessible and there are no problems with accessing its settings. We will consider the worst case scenario - the browser displays the error “Page is unavailable” or “Unable to access the site”:

Web interface accessibility issues can vary. Let's look at the most common of them:

Instructions on how to log in to 192.168.1.1.

Step 1. Check the activity of the network connection.

Very often, the reason for the router’s inaccessibility is the network cable disconnected from it.

In this case, it is not necessary that someone pulled out the cable intentionally - the connector can simply move a millimeter away from the network card connector and nothing will work. Be sure to check the integrity of the cable - it may be pinched somewhere or damaged by something. Please also note that the LAN cable must be connected to the LAN port of the device and not to the WAN port.

Otherwise, you will not be able to access 192.168.1.1 through the WAN port. This port is used to connect the provider cable. And that's all!

Step 2: Check the network indicators.

Here I mean the physical connection indicators both on the computer’s network card and on the router itself. What are they? Typically this is a green LED. If the network is active, the indicator lights up or blinks quickly. We take your device in our hands and look at the front panel. When turned on, the Power indicator must be lit - it means that the device is turned on. Then we look at the LAN port indicators - they are usually marked either simply with numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4.

When plugging the patch cord into the LAN port— the indicator with the corresponding port number should light up. If it does not light up, try disconnecting the network patch cord and plugging it into the adjacent connector. If the indicator does not light up there either, try everything one by one. Didn't help? Then you have The router is faulty - take it to service.

Step 3: Check your network settings.

At this stage, we need to check the settings of the network adapter - which IP is registered. To get to the network card settings on the Windows XP operating system, click the Start button and select the Network Connections section. In Windows 7 and Windows 8, press the key combination Win+R. The Launch Program window will open. Here you need to type the phrase - control panel.

The Windows Control Panel will open, where you need to find the “Network and Internet” section.

Click on it with the left mouse button. The following window will open:

Now, to open the router’s personal account via 192.168.1.1, click on the “Network and Sharing Center” link:

Select the menu item “ Properties" . The Local Area Connections properties window will open:

Select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and double-click on it with the left mouse button. In most cases, IP settings are set to automatic mode:

This is how the system was initially configured. This is done in order to facilitate the connection of the computer to the network. Thanks to this, if there is a DHCP server on the network, Windows will receive an IP address, mask, gateway address and DNS from it.
But what if there is no DHCP server on the network, or it is disabled in the configuration? In this case, logging in via 192.168.1.1 to your personal account in automatic settings will not be available, since the IP will be picked up from a special Microsoft subnet - 169.x.x.x. It goes without saying that with such an address you will not have access to the WiFi router address. Therefore, to enter its configurator, you need to register the IP manually - check the “Use the following IP address” checkbox and enter the addresses as in the picture:

That is, the following should be written:
IP address - 192.168.1.2
Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS server - 192.168.1.1
Alternative DNS server - 8.8.8.8
Registered, click the “OK” button for the changes to take effect. We launch the browser again and try to go into the router settings at 192.168.1.1. The router’s personal account is still inaccessible?! Well, let's move on.

Step 4. Check the Web browser.

In the Control Panel, select the “Network and Internet” section :

Now you need to select “Internet Options” and open the “Connections” tab. Click the “Network Settings” button:

No Proxy servers should be registered.

Keep in mind that a web browser is also a program and may not work entirely correctly. Therefore, be sure to install another browser - Firefox, Opera or Chrome - and try to log into the router via 192.168.1.1 (Zyxel Keenetic, TP-Link, ASUS, etc.).

Step 5. The node can be blocked by the Security System.

It may happen that your modem or router becomes unavailable locally due to incorrect configuration of the Windows Firewall or another firewall you have installed. To eliminate this we do this:
We completely disable (by stopping the service) the security system you have installed - antivirus, firewall, etc.
Also, to exclude all options, we try to disable the standard Windows Firewall. It can also block IP 192.168.1.1 or an entire subnet. Go to the Control Panel, select the “Windows Firewall” section and completely deactivate the packet filter by clicking on the “Turn off” value.

On Windows 7 and Windows 10 Toolbars We look for the “Security System” -> “Windows Firewall” section and select the “Turn Windows Firewall on or off” menu item.

We disable it completely for private and public networks.

Again we check access via 192.168.1.1 to the personal account of the modem or router.

If none of the above helped you, then only the following scenarios remain:

1 option- The IP address on the router has been changed. That is, it is not 192.168.1.1 that is used, but another IP - 192.168.0.1, 10.90.90.90, etc. In this case, all that remains is to reset the device configuration parameters using the “Reset” button on the back panel of the device and configure it again.

Option 2- viruses and malware. Nowadays there are a lot of different infections circulating on the Internet, including viruses for routers that change some of their settings, after which logging into the device’s web interface also becomes quite problematic. Start by checking your computer or laptop for viruses.

Option 3— check if you can access 192.168.1.1 from a phone or tablet by connecting to a WiFi network. The password for connecting to a wireless network is often written on a sticker glued to the bottom of the device. If not, then, as an option, you can try using the WPS function. In this case, the PIN code will also be written on the sticker.

Option 4- Hardware failure of your modem or router. In this case, the only way out is to take it to a service center.

Video tutorial:

In this case, only 2 options are possible:
1 — Reset the settings with the “Reset” button, as described above, after which access to the modem settings should be easy. But please note that after resetting the settings, the router will be pristine and will have to be completely configured from scratch.
2 - Look for the person who originally set up your device and ask for the password. If this was done by a master installer from the provider, then perhaps he installs the same thing on all devices. If the parameter settings were made by someone else, then he is unlikely to remember and will still have to use “Reset”.

Are you looking for how to log into your router to configure it? Why can’t I log in and how to properly open the admin settings panel http://192.168.1.1? Some users try to enter the router settings to set Internet and wireless network parameters and end up on the Google or Yandex search results page. Why is this happening?

To access the settings through the admin panel, the router does not need to be connected to the Internet. Setup takes place without the Internet, over a local network, via a laptop, netbook or computer. Many users mistakenly believe that changing parameters occurs on the Internet and incorrectly connect the cable to the device.

To log in correctly, you need to disconnect the Internet cable and connect a regular, short network cord (Ethernet). This cable is familiar to many who have previously connected computers or laptops via a local network by wire. Yes, there was a time before the invention of Wi-Fi technology. Typically, an Ethernet cable comes with any network devices, routers, modems, routers, access points, etc.

You need to connect the router to your laptop or computer and try to go into the settings panel. You only need to use LAN ports for connection (! NOT WAN). When connecting, make sure that all indicators on the front panel are lit or flashing green.

As a last resort, reset the settings using the reset button on the back of the router. If, even after resetting the settings and rebooting, you still cannot log in using admin admin on http://192.168.1.1, watch the following video:

Correct configuration of TCP/IP and DNS addresses for 192.168.1.1.

Go to the properties of the connection used to connect to the router settings. Typically this is a standard network connection, a local area network connection. Open the Network and Sharing Center, go to properties and make sure that the checkbox is in the “Receive automatically” position. The network connection must be active (without a red cross).

If you can’t log in with these standard settings, you can try using manual settings. In the IP field, you need to enter a network address from the same subnet as the router (192.168.1.1). This will be any ip with a value from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.255. For example, you can take the following IP address: 192.168.1.12.

We leave the subnet mask as standard - 255.255.255.0. Gateway address = modem or router address = 192.168.1.1. DNS servers can be set to standard Google ones or any others, it doesn’t matter. Google has it as 8.8.8.8.

After entering new TCP/IP v4 parameters, do not forget to save them by clicking OK. We go back to the browser and try to log in. If this does not help, you can try checking your proxy settings; they should be disabled.

It also wouldn’t hurt to disable the standard Windows firewall or any other firewalls based on antiviruses, such as ESET. Such programs can block any network connections, including those to the settings panel http://192.168.1.1 via admin/admin.

Still having trouble logging in? Carefully read the instructions, user manual of your router, modem, access point or router. If you do not have a paper copy of it, download it online from the manufacturer’s website. Make sure that it is 192.168.1.1 that is used to configure the parameters. These may be other addresses, it all depends on the manufacturer (Tplink, Dlink, Asus, Netgear, Sagemcom, Zyxel, etc.)

Possible options:

  • 192.168.0.1
  • 192.168.0.50
  • 192.168.0.3
  • tplinklogin.net
  • routerlogin.net
  • and other login pages

Manufacturers keep up with the times and improve their products. On the latest models of routers, on the bottom or lower part there is a sticker indicating all the important data. Including login and password for connecting via Wi-Fi (if available), settings page address, login and password for authorization, device pin code and other information.

Remember that in all difficult situations related to setup, you can be advised by specialists from the technical support service of your Internet provider. True, they are reluctant to help in matters of setting up a Wi-Fi network, because... this does not apply to the services they provide. But they simply must set up an Internet connection.

I hope that this information helped you understand at least a little about the difficult issue of connecting to 192.168.1.1 and the login and password admin/admin worked. If so, share the article on social media. networks or ask your questions in the comments. Good luck everyone! 🙂

Perhaps, from the title of the article, not everyone will understand what problem we are talking about, however, many often encounter it in practice. Each user can name it differently, and there are so many options: some call the modem’s web interface a “modem page”, others call it a “modem website”, others simply call it by IP address “ https://www.192.168.1.1", and some even call the web interface a “personal modem account.” But this is only a small lyrical digression, and now specifically on the topic. So, you have encountered a problem accessing the modem’s web interface. What to do in this situation?

How to enter the settings https://192.168.1.1 of the Internet router and Wi-Fi.

  1. First, of course, let's check whether the modem is turned on. Let's check the connection of the network cable both to the modem itself and to the computer.

  2. We check the serviceability of the network card. A faulty network card is a situation that very often causes our problem. Go to Control Panel, Network Connections tab, and check if the network card is active. In Windows 7 and 8 systems, to do this, just press the combination on the keyboard Win+R, and in the window that appears write the command:
    ncpa.cpl If the network card is inactive, its icon will be displayed in gray. In this case, it must be activated by simply right-clicking on it and selecting “Enable” from the drop-down menu.


    If the modem is turned on, the power cord is supposed to be working, but there is a red cross on the connection icon, or the message “ network cable is not connected", then most likely there is a problem in the network card itself.
  3. Let's check the network card settings. We can do this in two ways.
    Method I: keyboard shortcut Win+R call up the window “ execute", and in the window that appears, launch the command line by typing:
    cmd So, the command line appears, in it we write the command:
    ipconfig/all and look at the result. It should be as follows:


    II method: go to Control Panel, select Network Connections ( or combination Win+R -> command ncpa.cpl), in the network connections window, look for the Local Area Connection icon. Right-click on the icon and select “Status” from the list that appears.


    If automatic (dynamic) obtaining of an IP address is set in the network card settings, then in the network status (on the network card icon with the right mouse button - state - "Details" button) there will be the following picture: "Address type - obtain automatically", and in the fields IP address and default gateway will indicate our current IP and gateway (modem address).


    Pay also attention to the IP address. It should look like this: 192.168.✶.✶, 172.16.✶.✶ or 10.✶.✶.✶. If it looks like 169.✶.✶.✶, then the DHCP protocol, which allows you to dynamically obtain IP addresses, is not activated on the modem, and the IP address must be entered manually.


    One more point: sometimes, to eliminate problems on the network, the standard IP address of the modem 192.168.1.1 is changed, say, to 192.168.3.1. In this case, the computer address, naturally, must be in the same subnet, otherwise nothing will work. Therefore, here is some advice: having called the command line, type ping 192.168.1.1 and, as it is called among IT specialists, we “ping” the router:


    The router should ping without problems. If the IP addresses are specified correctly, and the router does not ping, see the next point.
  4. Access is blocked by a firewall. In such a situation, one piece of advice is to turn off your Internet connection, completely disable security, and check access to the modem's web interface again. It is worth noting that in some situations, disabling the firewall does not help, and even with correctly written rules, the system continues to block access. Then the only solution is to completely uninstall the firewall.
    To disable the security system, use the keys Win+R call up the window “ Execute"and dial
    firewall.cpl In the window that appears, in the left menu you need to select “Turn on/off Windows Firewall”, and then - as shown in the picture:
