No specific vendor is known to ship this address, but visitors have reported the logins that worked for them. The most common was admin with the password admin, at about a third of reports; roughly a fifth needed no credentials at all. Also reported: an empty or absent user name with the password admin, and 12345 as both name and password. These are user reports, not manufacturer-confirmed defaults.
How to log in to your router
Type 192.168.1.252 into your browser's address bar and press Enter. Type it by hand rather than accepting an autocomplete suggestion, which often fills in a different address you visited before.
If the browser reports that it cannot reach 192.168.1.252, this is not the gateway address on your network. On Windows run ipconfig /all and read the Default Gateway line; on macOS open System Settings, Network, Details, TCP/IP; on Linux run ip route and read the address after "default via".
If the login page loads but rejects your credentials, and you have never changed them, use the defaults printed on the device's label. If they have been changed and nobody knows the new password, a factory reset is the only way back in.
If you do not know the password
If none of the reported logins work, the password has probably been changed, and only a factory reset will clear it. Hold the reset button until the device restarts. Doing so wipes the entire configuration — forwarding rules, reservations, filtering and any saved profiles — and returns the Wi-Fi name and password to the values printed on the label, so all devices must rejoin.
192.168.1.252 is private address space from 192.168.0.0/16, the block associated with consumer networking. Under its 255.255.0.0 netmask there are 65,536 addresses, and because home routers, hotspots and small-office access points nearly all default into this range, it is the private space people meet most often.
The address lives in 192.168.1.0/24, the classic home subnet, usable from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 with broadcast at 192.168.1.255. At host 252 it sits at the very top of the range, a region typically used for static reservations or the end of a DHCP pool rather than for a default gateway. All 254 addresses in the subnet are documented here. Some 56 visitors a year search this address, most trying to sign in to whatever responds on it.

Comment: These addresses are in use by many millions of independently operated networks, which might be as small as a single computer connected to a home gateway, and are automatically configured in hundreds of millions of devices. They are only intended for use within a private context and traffic that needs to cross the Internet will need to use a different, unique address.
Comment:
