We have 2 Great Speed models in our database: the GS 525G and GS-R250S. Most of them use 192.168.1.1 as the default IP address, and the default login is admin / broadband. This page has the default IP address and login for each model we know of.
How to Log In to a Great Speed Router
- Connect a computer or phone to the router, with a network cable or over WiFi.
- Type http://192.168.1.1 into your browser's address bar. If nothing loads, try the other addresses in the table below.
- Sign in with the default username and password from the table below (admin / broadband is the most common).

If the Default Login Doesn't Work
Someone has probably changed the password. Check the label on the router, then factory reset it: with the router on, hold the Reset button (often a pinhole, so use a paperclip) for about 10 to 30 seconds, then let go. That puts back the default login above, and also erases your WiFi and Internet settings. See How To Reset Your Router.
