192.168.31.1 router login

To open the admin panel, type 192.168.31.1 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.

192.168.31.1 router passwords

One default username and password pair has been reported for devices answering on 192.168.31.1.

Username / Password Percentage
sweex / mysweex 100%

One credential pair is reported for this address, sweex with the password mysweex, and it accounts for the whole of what has been reported here. Treat it as a single documented data point rather than as the answer for any device that happens to sit on 192.168.31.1, since the address is shared across unrelated networks and equipment.

If it is refused, fall back to the device's own printed defaults on its case label, its setup card or its manual, and to provider documentation where the hardware was supplied by an internet company.

How to log in to your router

  1. Type 192.168.31.1 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.

  2. If the browser reports that it cannot reach 192.168.31.1, 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".

  3. 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

Where a login page loads but no password works, the credentials have been changed and a factory reset is the remaining option. Expect to lose the wireless network name and passphrase, port forwards, DHCP reservations, firewall and parental control rules, and any custom DNS, then to reconnect every wireless device afterwards.

The usual procedure is holding a recessed button with a paperclip for roughly ten to thirty seconds while the unit is powered, waiting for the indicator lights to cycle. Provider hardware may need reprovisioning afterwards, so ask them first.

192.168.31.1 belongs to 192.168.0.0/16, the RFC 1918 range with netmask 255.255.0.0 and 65,536 addresses. This is the consumer block, the one nearly every home router, mobile hotspot and small office access point uses for its default gateway, and consequently the range most people encounter in daily life. It is private space, reusable without registration, so it identifies no provider, organisation or place.

The address occupies the first host slot in 192.168.31.0/24, a subnet whose usable range is 192.168.31.1 to 192.168.31.254 with broadcast at 192.168.31.255. Taking position one is the long-standing convention for the router serving a subnet, so this address is very likely a gateway with a management interface reachable over HTTP or HTTPS from inside the network. A substantial 186 further addresses in this /24 are documented, which suggests it is a subnet in real and varied use rather than an isolated case.

Some 194 people a year search for it, and the overwhelming majority are simply trying to open the administration page of the device that hands their network its internet connection.

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.
