I Cannot Access My Router Web Interface

If you’re having trouble accessing your router’s admin panel via 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.l00.1, you’re not alone. Many users experience login errors, timeouts, or blank pages when attempting to open the router web interface.

Common Reasons Why Router Login Doesn’t Work

  • Incorrect IP address: Double-check if you’re using 192.168.100.1 or accidentally typing 192.168.l00.1 (with the letter “l” instead of the number “1”).
  • Not connected to the router network: Ensure your device is connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to the router.
  • Router IP has changed: Sometimes the default IP is different depending on the brand or if you changed it earlier.
  • Browser cache or firewall blocking access: Try incognito mode or disable firewall temporarily.

How to Fix Router Login Problems

✅ Step 1: Check Your Connection

Make sure your PC, phone, or tablet is connected directly to the router via LAN or Wi-Fi. If you are connected to a different network (like mobile data), access will fail.

✅ Step 2: Verify the Router IP

On Windows, open Command Prompt and run:

ipconfig

Look for the Default Gateway — this is your router’s actual IP.

✅ Step 3: Try an Alternate IP Address

✅ Step 4: Use Another Browser or Device

Try a different browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Clear your browser cache or switch to incognito mode.

✅ Step 5: Restart Your Router

Unplug the router from power for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and wait 1–2 minutes before trying again.

Still Can’t Access the Router Interface?

If none of the above steps work, try resetting the router to factory settings using the small pinhole reset button on the back. Then use the default credentials found on the router label.

TIP: Always type the IP address directly into the address bar to access your Router Web Interface (not the search box). For example: http://192.168.100.1
