However working from home comes with some important perks one of which is the Internet, which we all know is a major factor in our life. Whether or not we work from home we take the internet everywhere we go. Imagine a world without the internet!

The real question is, how many users are really in control of their connection? For this, it is essential to be able to access the router setting, the device that everyone has at home, and that they install as soon as you get the internet. Of course, it is highly recommended to make some modifications to its configuration.

Access to the router is carried out through its IP address, which always seems to be 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.ll. You can enter from any browser, be it Chrome, Edge, Safari, or one of your own choice.  Next, we are going to show you, in simple words, how to enter the router, how to locate and change your access password, how to change the name and password of the WiFi network.

Most Internet providers offer their clients a program, web, or app to enter the router. There is a manual way to do it that is more or less the same for all routers regardless of the brand: through the browser, using its input IP address, more or less universal to all models

1. To connect to the Internet and connect all devices (PCs, smartphones, consoles, tablets, etc.), the router assigns a local IP address to each device, starting with 192.168. It stays with the first: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.ll. Other devices connected to the network have addresses of the type 192.168.1.104, 192.168.1.102, etc., but it is far from the norm.

2. To enter the router, launch a browser. In the field where you normally write the name of the website, you want to visit, write: http://192.168.1.1 a message may appear indicating that you use a certain browser. 

3. If nothing happens then try http://192.168.0.1. The screen will show the gateway to the router, and it will ask for the username and password.

Logically, you can't access the router's settings by the hook. You need a username and a password. This information usually appears in the manual that came with your router. If you can't find it, try the classic ones:

1. Username: admin or 1234

2. Password: admin or 1234

If they do not work, you can reset the mobile with the factory settings to activate the previous passwords by default, although you will erase the settings. This is usually done by inserting a wire into a hole in the router, consult the manual. Another option is to call your operator and ask for the keys. you can google " router keys XXXX ", where XXXX is the make and model of your router, you will find them right away. Keep in mind that they are the factory keys, they will only work if no one has changed them.

1. Access the router through the address 192.168.1.1 and enter the username and password that you have obtained through the methods just explained.

2. You will enter the router's configuration menu. Each brand has its menu and even calls the same things with a different name. If you want a complete explanation, go to the router manual or to the user forums of the operator or the brand of router you use.

3. To change the router password go to Administration or similar, and look for an option called Access configuration or something similar. You will see it because the current username appears, and some boxes to enter the old password and choose a new one. Normally you cannot change the username, only the password.

4. If you used the default password, change it to a different one. Make sure you hit the OK or Apply button and the settings are saved. Store the new password somewhere safe. If you lose it, you won't be able to access the router unless you reset it!
