At present, almost all internet service providers install a router in our homes so that we can enjoy the internet. We will show a simple way of how to enter the router to configure it through the IP .

The router is that device that the technician installs in our house and that usually has small flashing lights. Depending on the model, it can incorporate one or several antennas (some model does not have the antenna in sight).

How to enter the router to configure it through the IP.

The easiest way to access the router is through the browser, writing as IP address 192.168.1.1 . Put another way, we access using our browser to the URL http://192.168.1.1 and should load on screen something similar to a web page that asks for a username and password.

IP 192.168.1.1 is practically a standard used by the vast majority of routers and use this IP because it is a private IP that only we can access . Other times the IP used is 192.168.0.1 and it may also be the case that none of the above works, so we will have to find out the IP by executing the command ipconfig (in Windows) or ifconfig (in Linux or Mac). Once the previous command has been executed, the IP assigned as "gateway" will be the one we use.

The next thing is to know the user and password that gives access to our router , in this section, if nobody has changed it, it is very likely that the user will use the default "admin" and the default password "1234" . If this username and password do not work for you, you have two possibilities:

1. Search Google something like "password router company model", for example "router password Zyxel P660 HWD1 movistar".
2. The second option is to contact your provider directly to provide the user and password or to solve them your configuration request.
