192.168.179.1 router login
To open the admin panel, type 192.168.179.1 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.
192.168.179.1 router passwords
One default username and password pair has been reported for devices answering on 192.168.179.1.
| Username / Password | Percentage |
|---|---|
| admin / 1234 | 100% |
For this address, the one login combination reported is the username admin with the password 1234, which accounts for all documented reports. Try it exactly as written, lower case. It only works if the credentials have never been changed, so if it is rejected, fall back to the defaults printed on the device's own label or listed in its manual.
How to log in to your router
Type 192.168.179.1 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 192.168.179.1, 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 admin and 1234 do not work and no other password is known, a factory reset returns the router to shipped defaults. Hold the recessed reset button for roughly ten to thirty seconds with the unit powered. Everything configured afterwards is lost: forwarded ports, static leases, guest and parental settings, and the Wi-Fi name and password, which revert to the label values.
192.168.179.1 belongs to 192.168.0.0/16, the private range that consumer networking equipment overwhelmingly ships from. The block holds 65,536 addresses under a 255.255.0.0 netmask, all of them unroutable on the public internet and reusable by any network that wants them. Less common third octets such as 179 are typically chosen to avoid clashes with the more crowded defaults.
The surrounding subnet, 192.168.179.0/24, provides hosts from 192.168.179.1 to 192.168.179.254 and reserves 192.168.179.255 for broadcast. This address is the first usable one, the slot conventionally assigned to the router or gateway that serves the subnet. That makes it the address to enter in a browser to reach an administration page, and it is what most people arriving here are trying to do.

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.
