Router Firewall access

How to access the router or firewall
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
If that does not work please read below for a list of common default gateway IP Addresses.


1. Click Start go to All Programs, click Internet Explorer and a window will open up.

2. Type in http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar and press enter.

3. A Login Prompt will appear. If you do not know your password try using one from this list.

4. You're in! Unless the default user name and password from the list below did not work. In this case you more than likely changed your password and will need to hard rest the router.

Hard Resetting the router

To hard reset the router you simply grab an item such as a paperclip, thumb tack or anything small like that and push it in the tiny reset button hole on the back of the router. Hold it in for about 5 seconds and release. The router will restore itself to factory defaults and you can try the IP address and user name password combination below.
