Logging in to your Linksys router lets you change the WiFi name and password, open ports, update the firmware and more. This guide works for classic Linksys routers like the WRT54G and E-series, Smart Wi-Fi routers like the EA-series, and Velop mesh systems.

Step 1: Connect to Your Router

Use a computer, phone or tablet that is connected to the Linksys network. A network cable plugged into one of the numbered LAN ports is the most reliable way. WiFi works too. You don't need an Internet connection to log in, only a connection to the router.

Step 2: Open the Login Page

Open a web browser and type the router's address into the address bar (not the search box), then press Enter:

http://192.168.1.1: the address for almost all Linksys routers.
http://myrouter.local: works on Smart Wi-Fi and Velop routers.
http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.245: some older models, access points and range extenders use these. Range extenders also answer at http://extender.linksys.com.

If none of these load, look the address up on the Linksys IP address page, or find it from your computer using our How To Find Your Router's IP Address guide.

Step 3: Sign In

What you see next depends on the model.

Classic Linksys routers pop up a browser box that asks for a username and password. Leave the username blank or type admin, and use admin for the password.

router login screen — The login screen of the Linksys WRT1900ACS.

Smart Wi-Fi routers show a Linksys Smart Wi-Fi sign-in page. It asks for a Linksys cloud account, but you don't need one. Look for the link for local access (on newer firmware it says Log in with your router password) and enter the router password. That's admin unless it was changed during setup.

Velop and other app-based routers are best managed with the Linksys app. To use a browser instead, go to http://myrouter.local and enter the admin password that was created when the system was set up.

The full list of default usernames and passwords by model is on our Linksys passwords page.

Step 4: You're Logged In

Once you sign in you'll see the router's home screen. On a classic router that is the Setup > Basic Setup page. On a Smart Wi-Fi router it is the dashboard with widgets and a Router Settings menu on the left.

router status mac address internet IP — The *status* page of the Linksys EA7500.

From here you can change your WiFi settings, change the DNS servers or change the router's IP address.

Linksys Login Problems

The login page won't load. Make sure you typed the address into the address bar, not a search box. Try http://192.168.1.1 with the http://. If you have more than one router, or a modem with its own WiFi, you may be connected to the wrong device. Plug straight into the Linksys with a cable and try again.

myrouter.local doesn't work. It only works on Smart Wi-Fi and Velop routers, and only when your device is connected to that router. Use the IP address instead.

The password admin doesn't work. Someone has probably changed it, often during the first setup. Try the WiFi password, since many people use the same one for both. If that fails, a factory reset puts the default password back. It also erases every other setting.

The Smart Wi-Fi page keeps asking for a cloud account. Use the local access link on the sign-in page. Linksys has phased out cloud accounts on many models, and local sign-in always works.

You see a security warning. Some newer Linksys firmware uses https with a certificate your browser doesn't trust. It's safe to continue to your own router's address.
