Current ASUS LAN
192.168.50.1 Login
ASUS moved many AX and ExpertWiFi routers from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.50.1. The hostname did not move: router.asus.com still finds the router from its own Wi-Fi. The factory login is still admin / admin, and it is replaced on first use.
Join the ASUS Wi-Fi and open http://192.168.50.1 or http://router.asus.com. Sign in with admin / admin if this is the first visit, then save the new password the firmware demands.
This link only works when your phone or computer is connected to that router. A website on the public internet cannot log in for you.
How to log in to 192.168.50.1

Prefer the hostname
router.asus.com avoids the question of .1.1 versus .50.1. If the name fails, type 192.168.50.1, then 192.168.1.1. Brand page: ASUS.

Complete the forced password change

Check AiMesh from the main router

These are common factory values published for first-time setup of equipment you own. An ISP, installer, or previous owner may have changed them. After you get in, set your own admin password.
Both addresses are still ASUS
Older RT routers remain on 192.168.1.1. Newer ones ship on 192.168.50.1. The sticker or the gateway reading tells you which unit you have. The login habit, admin then a password you choose, is the same.
192.168.50.1 will not open
192.168.1.1 is a different brand
The modem or an older router still owns it. The ASUS you just bought is on 192.168.50.1. Read the gateway on the ASUS SSID.
Certificate warning on router.asus.com
The router’s own certificate causes it. Continue on your LAN. Do not continue if you are on public Wi-Fi and did not mean to open a local admin page.
The new password was lost immediately
ASUS does not email it. Reset the router and the first-login prompt returns, along with the factory Wi-Fi name. See factory reset.
