About Linksys

Linksys routers feature some of the best models on the market and are well-established in their field. This does not prevent users from facing a difficult time trying to set up the device in different environments. The different Linksys models support wired and wireless configurations using an omnidirectional antenna. 

What is the Linksys Web Interface?

One of Linksys’s most popular features is its web-based interface for router setup and configuration. The web interface allows you access to the control panel once you enter the Linksys router default password and username. 

Note: To access the control panel you must have an active Wi-Fi connection. If there is no wireless network available, then connect your device to the router using an ethernet cable. 

These steps will show you how to log into your Linksys router using the Linksys router IP and Linksys default password.  Requirements: For the Linksys router login, you must own a Linksys router and any device that connects to it (Computer, Tablet, or Mobile Phone).

1. Connect to the Network

   Use any device of your choice to connect to your Linksys network. The wireless network connects are direct whereas a wired connection requires an ethernet cable. If you don’t know the Linksys router default password, you can connect to it using an ethernet cable. 

   To reach the setup page, you must be connected to the Linksys network. Ensure that you connect to the network before moving on to the next step.

2. Navigate to the Router IP Address

   Using a browser of your choice–Chrome, Safari or Internet Explorer– enter the Linksys default IP into the address bar. The most common Linksys Router IP is 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1. To save time, you can click on the given links to traverse you straight to the specific Router IP addresses.

• Configuring Your Linksys Router

  After logging into the admin interface, you can change any available settings for your Linksys device. Be careful that you don’t jeopardize the network connection while configuring the device.

  How to prevent jeopardizing your Linksys router?

  To revert any changes, we advise writing down the current settings before any configuration. In case you break the Linksys network connection, perform the reset procedure only as a last resort. If you still have access to the Linksys interface, try and revert the changes to the original settings. 

• Resetting Linksys Router

  If there is no other option, and you must reset the Linksys router then follow either of these two methods. 

  Method 1: Use the Linksys Router Reset Button

  • Locate the Linksys router’s reset button. It may not be in the same position for different models.

  The button is generally concealed to avoid being pressed by mistake. Most of the time it is very small and labeled as ‘Reset'.

  • With the help of a thin-tipped tool, like a pen or a toothpick, press and hold the button for at least 15 seconds. If the factory reset does not initiate, press and hold the button for 30 seconds.

  If you are finding it difficult to spot the reset button, check the user manual that came with the router. It has a diagram with all the components labeled and numbered. You can also search the diagram for your router model on the internet. 

  Method 2: Use the Web Interface to Factory Reset the Device 

  This method only works for those who have not lost network connectivity. 

  • Log in to the admin panel of your Linksys router.
  • If the page prompts you for an email address, select the “for local access click here”. This directs you to the password-only login form.
  • Once logged in, change the settings back to the original settings (Assuming you have written them down).
  • If you wish to factory reset the device open the factory settings menu and select reset.

  If the Power LED is flashing it means you have successfully reset your Linksys router. If you had changed the password and username, you will now have to use the default login procedure. 

As one of the leading manufacturer Linksys ensures a good quality router. For the Linksys log in, you must follow the standard protocol to establish a secure connection. Know the Linksys default password and IP for your model to log into the administrator control panel. 

If any configuration results in the router misbehaving then follow the reset procedure.
