How to set up Wi-Fi in the admin panel of the router (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1)

Many are already actively using free Wi-Fi Internet in cafes, restaurants and public places. And even more people want to set up Wi-Fi at home or in an apartment. To connect and set up an Internet connection via your phone, smartphone, tablet, laptop or TV, you need to buy and install a wireless router or router.

But its settings and correct installation often raises many questions for beginners. This is due to certain technical difficulties and subtleties in setting up a Wi-Fi router. And although many manufacturers of wireless routers (Asus, Sagemcom, Tplink, Dlink, Zyxel, Netgear, etc.) strive to simplify the process of setting up and organizing a home network as much as possible. Such a relatively simple action like setting up a wireless network turns out to be overwhelming for people who are not very good at computers.

In this article, we will consider popular questions and problems that arise during the process of connecting and configuring a modem, Wi-Fi router and other network devices. We will separately consider the difficulties when entering the admin panel at http://192.168.1.1 admin admin.

IP admin panels of the Wi-Fi router 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 - standard input.

Most routers require you to pre-configure your wireless network settings and an Internet connection to work properly. To do this, you need to log into the admin panel through a browser.

Standard addresses for entering the admin panel are http://192.168.1.1, http://192.168.0.1 login / password admin / admin ). Also, the addresses 192.168.1.2, 192.168.0.50 and other ip can be used for configuration (see the instructions, user manual for the router).

Without the correct settings, Wi-Fi and the Internet will either not work at all, or they will work but with errors, not as needed. For example, the following errors may appear:

• Local or Wi-Fi connection with "No Internet access" status.
• "Connection limited or missing" error.
• The error "WPA / WPA2 protection is saved" on a smartphone with an Android OS.
• Error "Error connecting to the network."

You only need to enter the router settings via the local LAN connection. To do this, you need to connect the device to a computer or laptop via an Ethernet cable. What to do if you can't log into 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 by admin admin:

• In the Network and Sharing Center, make sure that the "Obtain an IP address automatically" checkbox is selected in the TCP / IP settings for the local connection.
• Update the router's firmware. Reset the settings to the standard ones through the Reset function of the router or modem. A small button on the back of the modem. You need to press and hold for 15 seconds.
• Connect the cable correctly. When connecting the router and PC for configuration, you must use the correct, dedicated port on the rear panel. It is usually called LAN. Connecting to any other port may cause errors and connection problems. Change the ports one by one until you can successfully connect.

Wi-Fi works, connects, but Internet access is limited (without Internet access, Connection is limited or not available).

If any device from the network successfully connects to the Wi-Fi network but the Internet does not work on them, there may be several reasons. If the settings of the router for working on the Internet are made correctly, in accordance with the recommendations and settings of the provider, the problem may be in DHCP.

What is DHCP? This is a server that is responsible for distributing ip-addresses to all network devices (phones, laptops, TVs, etc.) IP 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 is reserved for a modem or router. Other addresses in the range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.255 can be used to connect other devices to the wireless network. If DHCP does not work, the devices do not receive an IP address and the Internet does not work. To activate it, you need to go to the corresponding item of the router settings and check the box.

Why aren't the settings saved on the router?

On modern Wi-Fi routers, this error is quite rare. It usually occurs on older, outdated router models. This also happens after sudden changes, power surges, thunderstorms and lightning. This is often associated with nutritional problems. But there are also cases when the browser is to blame, or it is not supported (old version, etc.)

Try using a different browser like Chrome, Yandex, Mozilla Firefox or others. Flashing (to a more recent version of the software) or resetting the router to factory settings can help. It will not be superfluous to check the ping addresses 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 through standard Windows tools. To do this, press the "Win + R" keys on the keyboard, in the line that appears, write the command "cmd" and press "Enter". Then enter the command "ping 192.168.1.1" or "ping 192.168.0.1", or both alternately.

• Make sure the connected devices are within the wi-fi range.
• Check if the router is connected to the network, if the Wi-Fi mode is active.
