Router brands

The same job, different front doors. TP-Link often answers on tplinkwifi.net, ASUS on router.asus.com, and Xiaomi on 192.168.31.1.

tplinkwifi.net TP-Link TP-Link still ships two different front doors. Older Archer and TL-WR routers open at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 with the username admin. Many current models ignore that pair and expect the admin password printed on the bottom label. Open guide routerlogin.net Netgear Netgear’s own shortcut is routerlogin.net. It only resolves while you are connected to that Netgear. The classic factory pair is the username admin and the password password, which is easy to mistype as your Wi-Fi key. Open guide router.asus.com ASUS ASUS keeps the hostname router.asus.com across most firmware. The IP behind it changed: older RT models use 192.168.1.1, while many AX and ExpertWiFi units ship as 192.168.50.1 so they can sit behind a modem that already took 192.168.1.1. Open guide Often a blank password D-Link D-Link’s old habit is unusual enough that people “fix” it incorrectly: the username is admin, and the password box is left empty. Typing the word blank or password will fail. Open guide 192.168.3.1 or 192.168.8.1 Huawei Huawei does not use one IP for every product. A home router or optical gateway is often 192.168.3.1 or 192.168.1.1. A pocket Wi-Fi or CPE with HiLink is often 192.168.8.1. The password that works is almost always printed on the nameplate, not the word admin. Open guide 192.168.31.1 Xiaomi Xiaomi’s gateway is 192.168.31.1, a number other brands rarely use. There is usually no shared factory password such as admin. The management password is created in the Mi WiFi or Xiaomi Home app during the first setup. Open guide 192.168.1.1 Linksys Linksys split its login in two generations. Classic WRT and E-series firmware accepts admin / admin at 192.168.1.1. Smart Wi-Fi and current mesh nodes expect the password created in the app, and they also answer on myrouter.local. Open guide tendawifi.com Tenda Tenda answers on tendawifi.com when you are joined to its Wi-Fi, and on 192.168.0.1 as the numeric address. Nova mesh kits prefer the Tenda WiFi app and may hide most settings from the browser. Open guide
