What should you do if you forget the wireless router backend login address?

If you want to modify the configuration of the wireless router, of course you have to access "192.168.1.1"! What? I can't open the backend? But what other address is there besides this address? When we want to set up and maintain the wireless router, we need to enter its system backend, usually by entering the IP address in the address bar of the browser. If someone changes our router management address and wireless password, what should we do?

Find the default gateway

If we cannot access our router wirelessly, we first need to use a network cable to connect the computer's network port to the wireless router's LAN port. Then press "win+R" on the keyboard, and enter "cmd" in the "Run" dialog box to open the command prompt. Next, we enter "ipconfig" in the command prompt and press Enter to see our network information. We can know the IP address of our wireless router from the "Default Gateway" information.

Changing network protocol settings

After getting this address, we enter this address in the address bar of the browser, and then access it to enter the login interface of the wireless router. If we still fail to access, then we should consider the problem of our network card configuration. Click the "Network Connection" icon in the lower right corner, then select "Network and Sharing Center", and click "Change Adapter Settings" on the left. Right-click your network adapter, then select Properties, find "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", left-click and select "Properties" in the lower right corner. In the pop-up dialog box, select "Automatically obtain an IP address" and "Automatically obtain DNS server address", and click OK after selecting.

There is a reset button on the back of the router

***, if we forget our wireless password, we can power on the wireless router and press the "Reset" button on the back or bottom for about ten seconds and then release it, the wireless router will automatically reset. After the reset is complete, we re-enter the background management page of the wireless router, reconfigure the Internet access method and set the wireless network name and password. Today, I will introduce to you some common sense in the use of wireless routers. I hope you can pay attention to the wireless routers at home and don't let them gather dust alone in the corner!
