Troubleshoot 192.168.100.1 login problems
If the password does not work, there could be two possibilities here:
– If you cannot remember the password because you changed it, your best option is to reset your router to its factory settings. All you need to do is locate the RESET button on the back of your router and press and hold it for ten to fifteen seconds with a needle or paper clip. This will restore the router to its configuration. Once the router has rebooted, you will be able to log in with the default password.
– It appears that the password you are currently using is not the default password for your router or modem. If you have access to the exact model number of your router, you can easily find the correct password online.
Nothing can be accessed (i.e. the browser keeps loading).
- If you try to access 192.168.100.1 in your web browser and encounter an error, your router may have a default gateway address.
- Be sure to use the IP address of the default gateway provided by your network or modem.
