Why can't I go into the router settings? Why can't I log into the TP-Link device setup web interface? Network card settings

Hello!

I haven't written anything on my blog for almost two weeks. Not long ago I received a question from one of my readers. Its essence was simple: “Why can’t it log into the router 192.168.1.1?” I decided to answer not only him, but also to format the answer in the form of a short article.

How to open settings

In general, this address is used to enter settings on most routers and modems. There are actually quite a lot of reasons why the browser does not open them; let’s look at the main ones.

First, check the address to see if you copied it correctly: http://192.168.1.1/

Why can't I access 192.168.1.1?

Below are common problems

Incorrect browser settings

Most often, a problem with the browser occurs if you have turbo mode enabled (this is in Opera or Yandex Browser), or a similar function in other programs.

Also check your computer for viruses; sometimes, a web surfer may be infected with a virus (or an add-on, some bar), which will block access to some pages.

Router/modem is turned off

Very often, users try to go into settings, but the device itself is turned off. Be sure to check that the lights (LEDs) are flashing on the case and that the device is connected to the network and power.

After that, you can try resetting the router. To do this, find the reset button (usually on the back panel of the device, next to the power input) - and hold it down with a pen or pencil for 30-40 seconds. After this, turn on the device again - the settings will be returned to the factory settings, and you can easily access them.

LAN card

A lot of problems happen due to the fact that the network card is not connected or does not work. To find out whether the network card is connected (and enabled) - you need to go to the network settings: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

For Windows 7, 8, you can use the following combination: press the Win+R buttons and enter the command ncpa.cpl (then press Enter).

Next, take a close look at the network connection your computer is connected to. For example, if you have a router and a laptop, then most likely the laptop will be connected via Wi-Fi (wireless connection). Right-click on it and click enable (if the wireless connection appears as a gray icon rather than in color).

By the way, you may not be able to enable the network connection because... Your system may be missing drivers. I recommend that if you have problems with the network, try updating them anyway. For information on how to do this, see this article: “ “.

Important! Be sure to check your network card settings. It is possible that your address is entered incorrectly. To do this, go to the command line (For Windows 7.8 - press Win + R, and enter the CMD command, then press the Enter key).

At the command prompt, enter a simple command: ipconfig and press Enter.

After this, you will see many options for your network adapters. Pay attention to the line “default gateway” - this is the address, it is possible that yours will not be 192.168.1.1.

Attention! Please note that the settings page is different for different models! For example, to set the parameters of the TRENDnet router, you need to go to http://192.168.10.1, and ZyXEL - http://192.168.1.1/ (see the sign below).

Table: default logins and passwords

Antiviruses and firewalls

Very often, antiviruses and their built-in firewalls can block some Internet connections. In order not to guess, I recommend simply disabling them for a while: usually it’s enough to right-click on the antivirus icon in the tray (in the corner, next to the clock) and click on exit.

In addition, the Windows system has a built-in firewall that can also block access. It is recommended to turn it off for a while.

In Windows 7, 8, its settings are located at: Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall.

Checking the hosts file

Wanting to set up a router, many users often encounter many problems. One of them is the lack of access to the router itself, when when entering the router address in the browser line 192.168.0.1 (192.168.1.1), the user receives a message about the impossibility of logging into the router and opening the page. In this material, I will explain the reasons for the lack of access through 192.168.0.1, and also explain how to correctly log into the router through 192.168.0.1.

There may be several reasons for the problem of logging into the router. The most common ones are the lack of connection between the computer and the router, incorrect settings for the connection itself, problems with the network card, an error in typing the IP address, as well as a simple malfunction of the router itself. I will describe below how to solve the problems listed below (and similar ones). “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

What you need to check first if you can’t enter the router settings

Before diving into explanations about the correct IP connection settings, try performing a number of template actions, which often help fix many problems with the ability to log into the 192.168.0.1 router:

We use a network cable

To eliminate the possibility of incorrect WI-FI settings, it is better to connect to the router via a standard network cable (regular twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors).

Popular causes of malfunction

Usually, the main reason for the lack of access to the 192.168.0.1 router is the static address of your computer, instead of the dynamic one. To fix the problem, do the following:

• point the cursor at the network connection icon with a triangle, right-click and select “Network and Sharing Center”;
• click on “Change adapter settings on the right”, then right-click on “Local Area Connection”;
• select “Properties” in the list;
• in the menu that opens, click on “Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click Properties;
• make sure that you have a checkmark next to automatic IP and DNS detection, then click “OK”.

If this was the problem, then now you can easily connect to your router.

The general process for fixing problems with logging into the router can be found here:

The username or password you entered is incorrect

If you log into the router and it asks you for a password (which you did not set), then do not despair. Enter admin in both the login line and the password line, and everything will work out (instead of the admin password there can also be an empty field or 1234, there are also 0000 and 1111).

Conclusion

As you can see, the main reason for the lack of access to the router is incorrect network settings, when instead of dynamic IP and DNS, a statistical IP address is set on the computer. There may also be problems logging into the 192.168.0.1 router with a network card, a network cable, and there is no need to rule out a simple breakdown of the router. In the case of the latter, you can take the router for testing to one of the service centers, and also consult with a competent specialist.

In contact with

We will tell you about common problems that most users encounter when setting up routers. One of these problems is the problem with accessing the router’s web interface.

Quite a lot of people are facing this problem when you enter IP 192.168 0.1 or 192.168 1.1 and the router settings page does not open or the error “Page is not available” appears. Therefore, we will try to understand this situation. This will be a general article and will be suitable for all devices.

What should I do if I can’t enter the settings for IP 192.168 0.1 or 192.168 1.1?

You have connected everything, type the IP address of the router in the search bar of your browser and it gives you the error " The page is not available", "The page cannot be displayed", "Page not found", this error appears differently in different browsers, but the essence is the same. This error can appear due to various problems, for example:

1. There is no connection to the router (bad or damaged cable, drivers are not installed on the network card-Wi-Fi adapter or there is no connection to the Wi-Fi Internet or incorrect connection).
2. Incorrect connection (Automatic IP acquisition is not set).
3. An attempt to access the web interface using the wrong IP address of the router.
4. The address 192.168 0.1 or 192.168 1.1 may not open due to the fact that the router’s IP address has been changed.

Before performing any manipulations, we recommend that you take simple steps:

1. Try going to another browser and entering the router's IP address into it.
2. Make sure the power is plugged in.
3. Try restarting your router or your computer.
4. Try setting up from another device (Laptop, tablet or smartphone).
5. You can also disable your antivirus, it may help.

Determining the correct IP address of the router

First of all, make sure that you are opening the correct IP address in your browser; manufacturers of different devices use different addresses to enter the router settings menu. This address is usually located on the back of the router, or just type 192.168 0.1 or 192.168 1.1 into the address bar of your browser. It may also be that the manufacturer may write IP in this format on the back side( https://tplinkwifi.net).

Checking the connection to the router

Check the connection in the lower right corner. If it is missing, you will not be able to connect to the router. If you are connected via a network wire, you will see a window in the lower right corner that shows the connection status or lack thereof.

If you see a different connection status, for example (a red cross), even though you want to go to the settings panel via a network cable, then you do not have a network connection with the Wi-Fi router.

Solution to the problem:
Check if your network cable is connected correctly. On the router, one end of the network wire should be connected to " LAN"port second end in network card computer. This is what it should look like.

If you did everything correctly and there is still no connection, then your wire may be damaged, then try replacing it with a normal wire and try again. Also, the lack of a network may be due to the fact that you did not install drivers on the network card or it may be damaged. Try logging in from a laptop, tablet or smartphone.

When connected via Wi-Fi, you should see signal bars in the lower corner of your desktop. If there is a yellow sign next to it, then you have connection problems.

Checking the settings for obtaining an IP address

On the PC in the network settings it is set static IP address, most likely your PC cannot establish a connection with the router because of this. Therefore, you need to check the parameter automatic IP acquisition for the connection through which you are going to connect.

Attention!!!: if you cannot access the Web interface when connected via cable, check in the control panel of your PC " LAN connection", and if via Wi-Fi, then " Wireless network connection".

Now we will show you in detail how to do this:
Click on the icon with the right mouse in the lower right corner of the desktop, you will see a window click Network and Sharing Center.
In the window that opens, click on the left Change adapter settings.
Select the connection with which you are connected and right-click - select Properties(we show using Wi-Fi as an example).
Select the line Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and press Properties. Make sure that automatic retrieval of IP and DNS is checked. If not, check the box and click apply. After this, restart your computer.

When trying to enter the settings, it detects an incorrect name or password

Try entering the username and password that are listed on the back of the router; in theory, everyone has the standard one (admin, admin). If this data does not match, most likely someone changed it when setting up your router. Try resetting the settings by pressing the button Reset.It may be that your router has turned into brick after unsuccessful firmware. The problem could also be due to a breakdown. Pay attention to whether all the indicators are working or blinking differently than they should, then most likely your router is faulty. Then you will need to contact a service center. Setting up a home Wi-Fi router on your own is quick and easy. The IP address is written on the bottom of the router, which must be entered into the address bar of your Internet browser (IE, FireFox, Opera, Chrome, etc.). Typically these are addresses 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1. Routers from ASUS, Zyxel, Netis, and some TP-LINK router models use 192.168.1.1 by default; in fact, it is written on the bottom of the router next to the login and password that must be entered to enter the router settings. A problem that often occurs is that the address 192.168.1.1 does not open. Finding the reason is not as difficult as it might seem. You can get into the Wi-Fi router settings in two ways: via Wi-Fi and via cable. In any case, if your router’s settings do not open at 192.168.1.1, you need to follow the following algorithm:

Set to receive IP automatically

First, let’s check whether the IP address is entered statically in the computer’s local network connection.

For Windows XP, click "Start", "Control Panel", "Network Connections", find the "Local Area Connection" ("Wireless Network Connection" icon), right-click on the icon, select "Properties" from the drop-down menu , in the window that opens, select “Internet Protocol TCP/IP” from the list so that the line is highlighted, and click the “Properties” button under the list. In the window that opens, make sure that “Obtain an IP address automatically” is selected; if not, select it.

For Windows 7,8,10, click "Start" (or the "Settings" gear for 8), "Control Panel", "Network and Internet", "Network and Sharing Center", "Change adapter settings" find the icon "Local Area Connection" ("Wireless Network Connection"), right-click on the icon, select "Properties" from the drop-down menu, and in the list that opens, select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" so that the line is highlighted in color, and click the "Properties" button under the list. In the window that opens, make sure that “Obtain an IP address automatically” is selected; if not, select it.

Check what IP the device receives from the router

It would not be superfluous to check whether the router really issues addresses from the 192.168.1.xxx network. In Windows, to check this, click "Start", "Control Panel", "Network Connections", find the "Local Area Connection" ("Wireless Network Connection") icon, double-click on the icon. In the window that opens, click “Support” (in Windows XP) or “More details” (in Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10), make sure that the IP address from the network is 192.168.1.xxx. If this is not the case, and you see, for example, IP address: 10.10.10.10, this means that the router IP is 10.10.10.1, or if, for example, IP address: 192.168.2.13, then the router address, in this case, 192.168.2.1 accordingly, it should be entered into the address bar of the browser.

There is another way to get into the router settings if its IP has been changed. You need to reset the router to factory settings, and then the IP of the router will become the same, as written on the label on the back of the router. However, I do not recommend this method for beginners, since after resetting the router will have to be configured completely from scratch.

Clear browser cache

If you try to access the router by entering the address into the browser before the router is fully loaded, the browser may save a blank page by associating it with the specified address, and 192.168.1.1 will not open. Subsequent times, the browser will give you the page it saved, which may be either empty or underloaded (some elements of the router settings page may be missing).

For Mozilla FireFox Edit, Settings, Privacy, Clear recent history, uncheck all the lines except "Clear cache", and click apply.

For Chrome, click the Settings and management button in the drop-down list, select History, in the window that opens, click the Clear history button. Uncheck all the lines except “Images and other files saved in the cache” and click “Clear history”.

For Opera Menu, Settings, General settings, Advanced, History, next to the "Disk cache" field, click the clear button.

Disable browser proxy

If your browser has a proxy configured, this could also be the reason. If a proxy is configured, then 192.168.1.1 may not open. To check whether the proxy is enabled in your browser, follow the steps described below for the most common browsers.

For Google Chrome, open the "Chrome menu" in the browser toolbar. Select "Settings". In the "Network" section, click the "Change proxy settings" button. The Internet Properties dialog box opens, allowing you to configure network settings.

For the Mozilla FireFox browser, “Tools”, “Settings”, “Advanced”, “Network”, select “No proxy” and click OK.

For the Opera browser, click “Tools”, “Settings”, “Advanced”, “Proxy server”; if you uncheck all the boxes, the proxy server will be inactive.

These are, perhaps, all the reasons blocking the path to the settings of your home router through the router settings web page. I hope the tips provided here have helped you. Ask questions, if not, I will be happy to help.

Hello, more and more often in the comments I receive the same question “I can’t access the router settings at https://192.168.1.1/”. Which was very strange for me since I had never encountered such a problem when setting up a router. Therefore, I decided to ask the people who left comments in more detail about the entire path they took when trying to enter their personal account. And it seems to me that he identified all the problems that could arise. I will try to explain them all in as much detail as possible.

Input errors when logging in to 192.168.1.1

It will probably seem to you that I was too meticulous in approaching those. BUT in fact, as statistics show, the main problem with logging into an address is incorrectly entering it into the address bar. Therefore, I advise you to pay close attention to this, I myself sometimes put an extra number at the end (example: 192 168 1 1 1), or I write the address twice at the beginning (example: 192 192 168 1 1). Of course, I will quickly correct this, but as you can see, even experienced people make mistakes. It is also a common mistake to confuse a comma with a period. There is only one conclusion: be careful.

Connecting the router to the computer

During the initial setup of the router or after bringing the router, an inexperienced user could have a problem with the wires not being connected correctly to the router. It can sometimes confuse the Internet port with the LAN (local area network) port. So remember the basic rules for any router: Each router has 2 types of ports, this is one port to which the Internet provider’s wire is connected - which can be called on the router as “INTERNET”, “WAN”, it will also be marked with a special color. The second type of ports can be several; they are used to connect various devices to the router - most often this port is designated on the router as “LAN”, and is highlighted in a color different from the “Internet” port. Detailed diagram. Let's now look at how to find out that everything is fine with the connection.

As you can see in the picture, the “Internet” port is highlighted in blue, and the “LAN” port is highlighted in yellow. Having connected a laptop or computer to the router, the “LAN” light on one of the ports, in this case the 1st, should blink on the router. This will mean that the router has successfully connected to the computer’s network card.

If the light does not blink, this may mean that the computer's network card is not turned on. You need to enable it. You can do this by logging into your operating system and turning on the network.

For Windows XP

1. Start - Control Panel - find “Network Connections”.
2. Connect via local network, right-click and select “Enable”.

For Windows 7.8

1. In the lower right corner (near the clock) there will be a network icon in the form of a monitor, click on it and select “Network and Sharing Center”.
2. In the window that opens, in the left column, select “Change adapter settings.”
3. Connect via local network or Ethernet, right-click and select “Enable”.

After this, the light on the router should blink and you can try to log in to 192.168.1.1. If that doesn't work, read on.

192.168.1.1 is not the address of your router

It often happens that the router address is not what you enter, or it was changed during the router setup. Therefore, by entering the address that we are discussing, you have nothing left to do. Therefore you should. If we briefly describe the article link to which I gave earlier, then you need to go to the network settings of the OS and look at the address that it received in the properties of the network card. And the address against which the name contains the words “Gateway” will be the address of the router.

We enter it and proceed to the settings. If it is not there, read on.

The device does not receive an IP address automatically.

As you probably understood from the title, it happens that the router does not transfer the IP address to your computer. At the same time, in the network information, the IP address looks something like this: 169.xxx.xxx.xxx, where x is any number.

This may mean that the DHCP protocol is disabled in the router, or the DHCP service is disabled in Windows itself. To solve this problem, you can try to resume the service, but there is a faster and less complicated way. You just need to enter static IP address settings. The settings should be like this:

Where to go to make settings is well described in.

Once you have made the settings, you should be able to easily enter the router settings.
.

192 168 1 1 Login and Password admin are not suitable

It happens that everything is in order and when you type the address of your router in the address bar of your browser, the authorization window appears. Where you are asked to enter your login and password, on most routers the default login and password is admin. But what to do if it doesn’t fit, you can refer to the table of logins and passwords by default, it will be . If the standard password and login do not work, it means it has been changed, and in this case, to log into your router’s personal account, you will have to reset the router settings to standard. This can be done by pressing the “Reset” button and holding it for a while. After this, the standard login and password will work, but the router will need to be reconfigured for your network. On the pages of my website you can find a detailed description of the settings and where the reset button is located on your router.

Blocking an address by an antivirus firewall

The problem with the 192.168.1.1 address being blocked by a firewall or antivirus program is very rare. It can be resolved very simply by temporarily disabling your antivirus and pausing the firewall.

Browser infected with virus

This problem is also rare, but thanks to the advent of the ability to insert extensions in browsers, it is gaining momentum. Since some virus extensions in the browser can redirect the address. The long-term solution to this problem is to check your browser for viruses, disable the entire extension, etc. I advise you to just use a different browser. Also, when setting up your router, disconnect the Internet from it, the virus will not be active and you will be able to log into your router without any problems.

I hope this article will help you if, after trying all the methods, nothing came of it. Then I ask you to describe in detail the scheme of your actions in the comments, I’ll try to figure it out. Also, those who know of any other problems with entering the router settings, please also write in the comments.
