Troubleshoot 192.168.100.1 Login Problems

If the password doesn’t work then there could be two possibilities here:

  • You had changed the password and have forgotten it. If this is the case then the easiest method to regain access to your router is to perform a factory reset. Performing a factory reset is really easy and you just have to press and hold the small RESET button at the back of your router for 10-15 seconds with a needle or paper clip and let it go afterward. The router will reboot and you can log in again using the default password.

  • The default password for your router/modem is not what you’re entering. Just search over the internet for the password with the exact model of your router. 

Unable to access anything (i.e. the browser keeps loading)

  • If your browser is unable to access anything on 192.168.100.1 then it may be that the default gateway address for your router may be other than 192.168.100.1. Find out the default gateway address for your router/modem and use that IP Address instead.
  • If you are typing 192.168.l00.1 which is often mistaken for IP however it is a misspelling, type the gateway address properly and try again.
  • Check if your firewall is blocking you from accessing by temporarily disabling the network firewall settings.
