Router configuration 192.168 1.1 does not open. Solving the problem with entering the router configuration. Why does it redirect me to Google or Yandex when I try to access the settings web interface?

During the operation of the router, each user periodically needs to enter the configuration of the network device to make changes to the router settings. It seems like it’s not difficult to perform such an operation, but sometimes unforeseen problems arise and for some reason you can’t get into the device’s web client. What can be done in such a situation?

So, you wanted to log into the router’s web client, but this page does not load in the browser. There can be several reasons for such an unpleasant phenomenon, from very simple to quite complex. For example, an unstable connection to the router, an incorrectly specified IP address, incorrect settings on the computer’s network card, and so on. Let's try to solve the problem ourselves.

Initial actions

At the very beginning of searching for the reason for the lack of access to the router configuration, it is advisable to perform the simplest manipulations in the following sequence.

1. Check the router's power supply. It may simply not be turned on.
2. Try logging into the router's web interface in a different Internet browser.
3. Temporarily disable antivirus software and firewall on your computer.
4. Try to access the router settings from any other device.

It is possible that your router is frozen and not working correctly. Therefore, you can try rebooting the network device. This operation is very simple and will only take a few minutes. You can read in detail about ways to reboot a router in another article on our website by clicking on the link below. These instructions are quite applicable to any routers, not just TP-Link. At the same time, restart your computer.

Method 2: Clarifying the router's IP address

There is a possibility that you or another user who has access to the network device has changed the router’s IP address (by default, most often 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and that is why you cannot open the router’s web page. Using the built-in tools of the Windows operating system, you can quickly find out the current IP of your network equipment. For information on how to do this, read another instruction on our resource by following the link.

Method 3: Checking the connection to the router

Maybe there is no connection to the router? On the Windows Desktop, you can quickly check the connection between your PC and the router. In the lower right corner of the screen in the tray we find the network status icon. There should not be any foreign signs, red crosses or the like on it.

Method 4: Automatically obtain an IP address

The problem of lack of access to the router configuration parameters may arise due to the fact that someone has set a static type of IP address in the network connection settings of your computer. Therefore, it is necessary to check the status of this parameter, and if it is changed, then return to automatically obtaining the default IP address. Let's look at the algorithm of actions in this direction on a PC with Windows 8 on board.

Method 5: An alternative way to log into the router's web interface

You can try to get into the router configuration through the built-in Windows tools. This option may help in some cases. As an example, consider the eighth version of the Microsoft operating system.

Method 6: Restore router settings to factory settings

If none of the above helps, you can resort to last resort. Reset the router configuration to the factory one, that is, the default one set by the device manufacturer. You can read about how to do this in the article on our website. The methods given in the instructions are relevant for routers of all brands, not just TP-Link.

As you can see, there may be several reasons for the lack of access to the router’s web page, as well as ways to solve this problem. Therefore, try all options sequentially. He who seeks will always find!

If you don't know how to go into the settings of your router or you can't do it, you've come to the right address. So, 192.168.0.1 is a unique electronic IP address of your device (router or modem) on the Internet between it and the PC. The subnet used here is indicated as 192.168.0.X, when X will be a number from 1 to 254. Your PC also has its own network address. For the router to be accessible, the computer’s IP address must also be located on the 192.168.0.X network and in the range - 2-254. Please note that there cannot be several devices on the network that have the same IP address - this would lead to a conflict between them.

Features of registering an IP address to log in to 192.168.0.1

If you cannot log into TP-Link or D-Link equipment via http://192.168.0.1 from any LAN port, you need to check access from other ports. Connect the patch cord to each of them one by one. Sometimes it turns out that a certain Ethernet connector is configured in bridge mode for a set-top box.

Among manufacturers of network equipment, the specified IP addresses for their equipment are usually chosen only by D-Link and sometimes Netgear.

Problems logging into your router personal account

Brief list of actions:

If nothing helps?

After you follow this advice, any device settings will be reset and the router will return to its factory specifications.

When setting up a wireless network for the first time or during operation of the device, some users encounter a problem - the router does not enter its settings through the browser. Depending on the router, the user can access various addresses through the browser to access the settings, but for certain reasons the download does not occur.

In this article I will talk about the main reasons why users at the standard address 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 router do not log into their admin area. I will describe the most common causes of this problem and solutions.

At the very beginning, I would like to ask, if you have any questions during the article, or forgot to say something, feel free to write in the comments!

For those who forgot or didn’t know how to get into the admin area of ​​the router, the following video:

Simple solutions

Provided that all actions to enter the menu are carried out correctly and according to the instructions, but nothing works, you should turn to additional options.

Additional activities include the following items that may help if you cannot enter the router settings:

• Try logging into the router settings through other browsers.
• Try connecting to the settings menu from another available device.
• Disable security programs and operating system protocols, including antivirus and firewall.
• Check the quality of the connection to the router and its technical condition. The equipment may not be connected correctly, the network cable may be damaged, etc.

You can check the correct connection using the picture:

• There may be problems with the drivers of the network adapter itself; it is recommended to update them.
• Reboot the operating system and router.

Possible reasons

Before performing any alternative actions, you should determine the cause of the problem. There are several main categories of reasons leading to the problem in question:

1. Incorrect network connection settings.
2. It is possible that the connection is being made to the wrong IP address due to the automatic IP acquisition function being disabled.
3. Technical problems.

The real reasons can be identified during an audit of equipment and system settings. However, in a number of situations, the reason why the web browser does not open the Wi-Fi router settings page may not be obvious and you will need to dig around. It is precisely these reasons that we will pay special attention to.

Connecting to the wrong IP address

When the user’s problem sounds like this – I can’t access the settings of my router, then he should make sure that the connection is made to the correct IP address. Manufacturers of various device models may provide their own addresses for accessing settings. Often the address you are looking for is indicated on a sticker on the product body or in the accompanying documentation.

For example, for popular TP-Link routers, which are used by a huge number of people, the following addresses are used: 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. Instead of an address, a link can also be used, for example: tplinkwifi.net, which will also lead to the desired settings window.

How to find outThe IP address of the router is the topic of the following video:

Verifying that the connection to the router is established correctly

An error on the connection page to the device settings menu may be caused by the fact that the correct connection to the router has not been established at all. Therefore, if the connection is not established or there is a connection error, then access to the settings will not be possible.

As a rule, in the tray located on the control panel of a PC or laptop, the Internet connection icon will show the current status of the network connection. If there are any problems, the user will be notified by an appropriate mark.

If the router does not enter its settings precisely because of connection problems, it is recommended to perform the following steps:

• Make sure that both ends of the power cord are connected to the correct slots on the router and computer (laptop).
• If possible, try a different power cord; it may be faulty.
• Make sure the router/network card is working properly by testing them.
• Check/update network adapter drivers.
• Check your operating system settings; perhaps some security protocols are preventing a normal connection.

Verifying that you have received an IP address

One of the reasons why the user cannot enter the router settings menu is that a static IP address is set in the connection settings on the computer. This is an error because you need to set your OS to automatically obtain an IP address.

On each version of the operating system, the steps may differ slightly, but the general principle remains the same. So, the user will need to follow these steps:

• Go to “Control Panel”; in the “Network and Internet” and “Network and Sharing Center” settings.
• In the window that appears, there is a list of functions and you should click on “Change adapter parameters”.
• Next, you should right-click on the connection icon, which displays the current connection of the computer to the router.
• In the context menu, you need to go to the “Properties” sub-item.
• In the window that loads, there is a list where you should select the item “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”. If it was not connected, then it should be turned on. After selection, click on the “Properties” sub-item.
• In the new window, you will need to check the box next to “Obtain an IP address automatically”, and also “Obtain a DNS server automatically”.

After performing the above manipulations, it is recommended to restart the computer and try to get into the router settings again, entering the address and password provided by the manufacturer.

Authorization error

It happens that the download takes place at the desired address, but when you try to specify your username and password, an error occurs.

The data is either not accepted by the system, or the page is simply refreshed and nothing happens. If the possibility of incorrectly entering personal data is excluded, then the problem lies in the fact that the standard authorization data was somehow changed.

In such a situation, the simplest and fastest solution is to reset the router settings, which will restore the standard options and default state.

Restoring the router after flashing the firmware

Here I want to tell you about another reason why you cannot log into the interface of your router. We are talking about unsuccessful device firmware. In fact, this can cause many problems: it does not go into settings, the Internet does not work, there is no Wi-Fi connection. What to do in such a situation? I’ll tell you using the example of a TP-Link router.

I would like to immediately draw your attention to the fact that this instruction is tailored exclusively for devicesTP-Link.

1. Download the Tftpd utility. Unpack the archive and extract the file with the .exe extension from it.
2. We go to the officials - to the TP-Link website tp-link.com. We look there for the firmware we need, always according to the router model and its version. Download and extract the file with the extension .bin from the archive.
3. Move the .bin and .exe files that you downloaded before to one folder.

1. Now we need to change the IP address. I wrote above how to do this.
2. In the IP address line we write 192.168.1.66, 192.168.0.66 or 192.168.0.86. You may have to struggle and find an address.
3. The subnet mask will be determined by itself, leave it as it is and click “Ok”.
4. Disable antivirus and firewall.
5. We connect the router and the computer with a network cable.
6. Let's go to our folder and run the .exe file as administrator.
7. In the “Server interface” column we look for a network adapter with the address that we set earlier.
8. Click “Show Dir” and look for our file with the .bin extension. You don't need to press anything, you just need to make sure that the firmware is there.
9. On the router, press and hold the WPS/RESET button and plug it into a power outlet.
10. The firmware installation will begin. You will see this on your PC.
11. We wait for the router to reboot and try to go into the settings.

System problems

When a user cannot get into the router settings menu, the reasons for this may not be obvious and come to light from a completely unexpected direction. We are talking about various system problems and features that block access and interfere with normal operation. These can be various programs, applications, extensions, services.

Among the main such reasons are the following:

• Programs and other components for changing the IP address of a computer.
• Using proxy servers for local addresses.
• Malicious components, viruses and software in the operating system.
• Malicious components in a specific browser.
