192.168.100.173 router login
To open the admin panel, type 192.168.100.173 into your browser's address bar. If the page does not load, this is probably not the gateway address on your network — see the checks below.
192.168.100.173 router passwords
Where to find them:
- The label on the underside or back of the router — most manufacturers print the default admin username, password and Wi-Fi key there.
- The quick-start card or manual that came in the box.
- Your ISP's account portal, if the device was supplied by them — many set a unique password per line rather than a shared default.
No default credentials are documented for this address, so none are stated. The reliable source is always the device: the sticker on its case, the card supplied in the box, or the vendor's manual for that model. If the address turned out to belong to a modem or a second router placed behind your main one, its own label still governs, not the address.
How to log in to your router
Type 192.168.100.173 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 192.168.100.173, 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 access is lost, connect directly by cable where possible, since some management interfaces on a separate segment are reachable only that way. Reserve the reset button for last: it clears the stored configuration entirely, including any bridge or modem-mode settings that may need to be re-applied afterwards, and returns the Wi-Fi name and password to the values printed on the label.
192.168.100.173 is drawn from 192.168.0.0/16, the private range reserved by RFC 1918 that holds 65,536 addresses behind a 255.255.0.0 netmask and that dominates home networking. It is unallocated public space in name only: no registry assigns it, no organisation holds it, and identical copies of it exist on any number of unconnected networks.
The /24 here is 192.168.100.0/24, with usable hosts 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.100.254 and broadcast on 192.168.100.255. This particular third octet turns up regularly on modem management interfaces, secondary router networks and equipment kept on a separate segment from the main LAN, though the address itself proves nothing about the setup. At host 173 the address is high in the range and consistent with a DHCP lease, so visitors are generally trying to identify a client rather than reach a control panel.

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.
