Here's how to log in to a SonicWall router.

Step 1: Connect

Connect to the router's WiFi or plug a computer into one of its LAN ports with a network cable.

Step 2: Open the Login Page

Type http://192.168.168.168 into your browser's address bar. Some models use a different address. See the SonicWall IP address page.

Step 3: Sign In

  • admin / password: most SonicWall firewalls.

SonicWall firewalls use https, with a self-signed certificate, so your browser will warn you the first time.

See every known default on the SonicWall passwords page.

SonicWall Login Problems

The page won't load. Check that you're connected to the SonicWall router (not a second router or extender), and run ipconfig to see its real address.

The password is rejected. Try each default above and the password on the label. If nothing works, reset the router.
