How to Login to Router – Step-by-Step process
Given below are the simple steps to help you log in to your router
- Connect to your router
- Use WiFi or plug your device into the router using an ethernet cable.
- Open your browser
- Open any browser on your system (Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
- Type 192.168.0.1 into the address bar
- Type the given IP address i-e “192.168.0.1” into the address bar. (Avoid using “www”, or “https”).
- Hit Enter
- You’ll reach the login screen.

The default credentials are “admin” for both. Refer to the label of the router as the default credentials are mentioned on the router’s label. - If the default credentials don’t work, you may have changed it before. Try other combinations you remember. If everything else fails, the last option you have is to factory reset the router.
- Enter your credentials in the space provided:
What If 192.168.0.1 Doesn’t Work?
It happens. Sometimes the IP doesn’t open the page. Here’s what you can try:
- Check your connection – Are you connected to your router’s network properly?
- Use the default gateway check – On a Windows PC, press Windows + R, type cmd, and run ipconfig. Look for “Default Gateway”. That’s your login IP.
- Try Routerlogin.net – Especially if it’s a Netgear router, you can go type the URL: routerlogin.net in the address bar.
- Clear browser cache – Or try Incognito/Private mode.
- Restart the router – Just unplug the router and wait for around 10-15 seconds, plug back in.
- Disable VPNs or firewalls – They sometimes block local addresses.
If none of this work, your router might be using a different IP — like 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 — which you can check through ipconfig.
What is Routerlogin.net and How’s It Related?
The URL is just a more human-friendly way to get to your router’s login page — mostly used by Netgear routers.
So:
- 192.168.0.1 = IP path
- Routerlogin.net = Domain path
Both lead you to the same place — your router’s login panel.
Where Does mywifiext Come into the Picture?
Here’s where most users get confused. If you’re setting up a Netgear WiFi Extender, you’ll often be asked to go to www.mywifiext.net. That’s a setup portal for extenders — not routers.
But here’s the thing — if your router isn’t working, your extender won’t either. So, the very first step before using mywifiext is always making sure you have successfully logged into your router through 192.168.0.1 is up and running.
Netgear WiFi Extender Setup and Router Access
Let’s say you just bought a Netgear extender to boost WiFi in another room. The basic steps are:
- Plug in the extender near your router.
- Connect to the extender’s default network on your device.
- Open your browser and go to mywifiext.net
- Follow the instructions to link it to your main WiFi.
But again — if your router settings aren’t accessible via 192.168.0.1 or Routerlogin.net, the extender setup will likely fail.
Forgot Your Router Password?
Don’t worry, here’s how to fix it:
- Look for the reset button at the back of the router.
- Use a pin or paperclip to press and hold it for 10 seconds.
- The router will reset, and lights will blink. Wait until it’s stable.
- Now, go back to 192.168.0.1 or the URL.
- Use default credentials: admin and password.
After logging in, change your login info again — but write it down somewhere this time.
