Set get IP automatically
First, let's check if the connection is about local network computer's IP address is static.For Windows XP, click "Start", "Control Panel", "Network Connections", find the icon "Local Area Connection" ("Connection via wireless network"), right-click on the icon, select "Properties" in the drop-down menu, select "TCP / IP Internet Protocol" in the list in the window that opens so that the line is highlighted in color, and click the "Properties" button under the list. In the window that opens make sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected, if not, select it.
For Windows 7,8,10, click "Start" (or the "Settings" gear for 8), "Control Panel", "Network and Internet", "Network and Control Center and public access", "Changing adapter settings" find the icon "Local Area Connection" ("Wireless Network Connection"), right-click on the icon, select "Properties" in the drop-down menu, select "Internet Protocol Version" in the list that opens 4 (TCP/IPv4)" so that the line is highlighted in color, and click the "Properties" button under the list. In the window that opens, make sure that "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected, if not, select it.
Check what IP the device receives from the router
It will not be superfluous to make sure that the router really issues addresses from the 192.168.1.xxx network. In Windows, to check this, click "Start", "Control Panel", "Network Connections", find the icon "Local Area Connection" ("Wireless Network Connection"), click on the icon by double-clicking on the icon. In the window that opens, click "Support" (in Windows XP) or "Details" (in Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10), make sure that the IP address from the network is 192.168.1.xxx. If this is not the case, and you see, for example, the IP address: 10.10.10.10, this means that the IP address of the router is 10.10.10.1, or if, for example, the IP address is: 192.168.2.13, then the address of the router, in this case, 192.168.2.1 respectively, and it should be entered into the address bar of the browser.There is another way to get into the router settings if its IP is changed. It is required to reset the router to factory settings, and then the IP of the router will become the same, as written on the label on the back of the router. However, I do not recommend this method for beginners, because after the reset, the router will have to be configured completely from scratch.
Clear browser cache
If you try to access the router by entering the address into the browser before the router is fully loaded, the browser may save a blank page by linking it to specified address, and 192.168.1.1 won't open. In subsequent times, the browser will give you the page it saved, which may turn out to be either empty or underloaded (some elements of the router settings page may be missing).For Mozilla FireFox Edit, Settings, Privacy, Clear recent history, uncheck all lines except "Clear cache", and click apply.
For Chrome, click the Settings and Management button in the drop-down list, select History, in the window that opens, click the Clear History button. Uncheck all lines except "Images and other files stored in the cache" and click "Clear history".
For Opera Menu, Settings, General settings, Advanced, History, next to the "Disk cache" field, click the clear button.
Disable browser proxy
If your browser has a proxy configured, this could also be the cause. If a proxy is configured, then 192.168.1.1 may not open. To check if a proxy is enabled in your browser, follow the steps below for the most common browsers.For Google Chrome open the "Chrome menu" menu on the browser toolbar. Select "Settings". In the "Network" section, click the "Change proxy settings" button. The Internet Properties dialog box opens, allowing you to configure network settings.
For Mozilla browser FireFox "Tools", "Settings", "Advanced", "Network", select "No proxy" press OK.
For the Opera browser, click "Tools", "Settings", "Advanced", "Proxy server", if you uncheck all the boxes, the proxy server will be inactive.
Here, perhaps, are all the reasons blocking the path to the settings of your home router via the router settings web page. I hope the tips provided here have helped you. Ask questions, if not, I'll be happy to help.
During the operation of the router, each user periodically needs to enter the configuration of the network device to make changes to the router settings. It seems to be easy to perform such an operation, but sometimes unforeseen problems appear and for some reason it’s impossible to get into the device’s web client. What can be done in such a situation?
So, you wanted to log into the router's web client, but this page does not load in the browser. There can be several reasons for such an unpleasant phenomenon, from very simple to quite complex. For example, unstable connection with a router, incorrectly specified IP address, incorrect settings network card computer and so on. Let's try to solve the problem on our own.
Initial actions
At the very beginning of the search for the reason for the lack of access to the router configuration, it is advisable to perform the simplest manipulations in the following sequence.
- Check router power. Maybe it's just not enabled.
- Try logging into the router's web interface using a different web browser.
- Temporarily disable anti-virus on your computer software and firewall.
- Try to get into the router settings from any other device.
It is possible that your router is frozen and not working correctly. Therefore, you can try to reboot the network device. This operation is very simple and takes only a few minutes. You can read in detail about how to reboot the router in another article on our website by clicking on the link below. This instruction It is quite applicable to any routers, and not just to TP-Link. At the same time, restart your computer.
Method 2: Find out the IP address of the router
There is a possibility that you or another user with access to the network device has changed the IP address of the router (by default, most often 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and that is why you cannot open the web page of the router. Using built-in operating system tools Windows systems you can quickly find out the actual IP of your network equipment. Read about how to do this in another instruction on our resource by clicking on the link.
Method 3: Checking the connection with the router
Maybe there is no connection to the router? On the Windows desktop, you can quickly check if your PC is connected to the router. In the lower right corner of the screen in the tray we find the network status icon. There should not be any extraneous signs, red crosses and the like. 
Method 4: Get an IP Address Automatically
The problem of not accessing the router configuration parameters may appear due to the fact that someone has set the static IP address type in the settings network connection your computer. Therefore, it is necessary to check the status of this parameter, and if it is changed, then return to automatically obtaining the default IP address. Let's see the algorithm of actions in this direction on a PC with Windows 8 on board.
Method 5: An alternative way to log into the router's web interface
You can try to get into the router configuration through the built-in windows tools. This option may help in some cases. As an example, consider the eighth version of the operating system from Microsoft.
Method 6: Rollback router settings to factory settings
If none of the above helped, you can resort to at least. Reset the router configuration to the factory default, that is, set by the device manufacturer by default. You can read about how to do this in the article on our website. The methods given in the instructions are relevant for routers of all brands, not just TP-Link.
As you can see, there can be several reasons for the lack of access to the web page of the router, as well as ways to solve this problem. Therefore, try all the options in sequence. Who seeks will always find!
Recall that the status "No internet access", this is normal. Perhaps the Internet is not configured on the router yet. In order to access the control panel of your router, you do not need an Internet connection.
We check the settings for obtaining an IP address, if it does not enter the router settings
If on your computer, in the connection properties (via cable or Wi-Fi) some static IP address is set, then most likely the computer cannot establish a connection with the router. You need to set the automatic acquisition of an IP address for the connection through which you connect.
In detail, about how to check IP settings on Windows 7 and Windows 8, I wrote in the article:. Everything is very detailed there.
Please note, if you are unable to enter the settings when connected via cable, then check the "Local Area Connection" (Ethernet) settings. And if you are trying to log in via Wi-Fi, then "Wireless network connection" (Wireless network in Windows 10)
Now I will quickly demonstrate everything.
Click on the internet connection icon (it may be different for you) and select .
In the new window, on the left select Change adapter settings.
Further attention, right-click on the connection through which you are connected to the router (I wrote about it above) and choose Properties (I show on the example of connecting via Wi-Fi).
Highlight an item Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and press the button Properties. Check if automatic IP and DNS acquisition is set. If not, we expose. Click Ok.
If you have changed the settings, then it is advisable to restart the computer.
Another way (update)
Go to "My Computer" ("This PC" in Windows 10), or just open File Explorer and go to the "Network" tab. Your router should appear in the "Network Infrastructure" section.
A browser will open and the router page will automatically load.
This method will work if, for example, the IP address of the router has changed, and for this reason it was not possible to enter the web interface.
Goes into settings but wrong username and password
On this issue, I prepared a separate article:. The problem is that the settings page opens, or rather the authorization page opens, and when you enter the username and password, the router writes that they are incorrect, or the page will simply reload.
In such cases, you need to try to specify the standard data, which is most likely indicated on the bottom of the router on the sticker. Typically, the username is used - admin and password - admin(empty field, 1234) .
If these data are not suitable, then most likely the username and / or password have been changed, and if you do not know them, then you will have to reset the router to factory settings. Here's an example, . We also have instructions for other manufacturers. Perhaps someone else just set up the router for you and did not tell you the passwords.
It may also be that your router is "bricked". For example, after unsuccessful firmware. You can try to restore it. See instructions. Only for Tp-Link routers (and not for all models).
It is not necessary to rule out a breakdown of the router. Pay attention to the operation of the indicators, if they do not blink as usual, then it is possible that your device is out of order. If you have tried all the tips, but you still can’t enter the settings, then describe your problem in the comments, we will figure it out.
Hey! I noticed that for many, problems with setting up routers begin even before the start of the setup process itself :). And there is nothing strange here, but the most popular problem is when it doesn’t work, in other words, there is no access to the settings.
When trying to access the address 192.168.1.1 (may be another address, for example 192.168.0.1) I get the error "Unable to connect to remote server", or something like that.
Now we will consider the main reasons through which this problem most often occurs and we will try to fix it.
The address 192.168.1.1 (192.168.0.1) does not open, what should I do?
Most likely, something is not connected correctly, or incorrect settings on the computer.
Checking the connection between the router and the computer
When I write such articles, I always say that during the setup, the router needs to be connected to the computer (laptop, netbook) via network cable. As a rule, the cable is included with the router. When everything is set up, the cable can be disconnected, everything will work without it.
Plug the router into a power outlet and connect it with a network cable to the computer. Usually, network cable on the router is connected to the yellow connector. Like this:
One of the LAN indicators on the router should light up.
The computer should also recognize that you have connected a router to it. The status should be something like this:
Do not be afraid that the status is "Without access to the Internet." It’s just that you haven’t configured anything yet, everything will still be :).
If you have everything connected correctly, then try to go to the address 192.168.1.1. Don `t come in? Here's the problem, let's move on.
Perhaps the laptop has already managed to connect to the router via Wi-Fi. Check and disconnect from the wireless network. The connection must be by cable only.
Checking the IP address. You may not have 192.168.1.1
I don’t know exactly how it is on routers from other manufacturers, but from the bottom of the TP-Link router you can see the address for accessing the settings and the password / login, which is used by default to access the control panel.
Look under your router, you may see something interesting there and the problem will be solved.
In TP-Link it looks like this:
As you can see on the router TP Link TL-MR3220 IP address 192.168.0.1 . And no matter how you try, you won’t get into the settings at 192.168.1.1.
Also check if you are entering this IP address in the address bar of your browser correctly. You need to enter it in the address bar, and not in the search bar :). Excuse me for such childish advice.
Finally, try a different browser.
Root cause: not set to get IP and DNS automatically
This is probably the main reason why you will not be able to get into the router settings. I should have written it first, but oh well.
So, you need to check if you have installed on your computer get IP and DNS automatically. Perhaps from the old connection you have static addresses registered there.
Right-click on the connection status in the notification bar and select "Network and Sharing Center".
Go to the section on the left "Change adapter settings" and right click on "LAN connection". Select Properties.
Highlight "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and press Properties. Then check if you are set to receive IP and DNS addresses automatically (if not, then install). Click Ok and Ok.
That's all, after these actions, everything should work.
If it does not work, and you still cannot enter the router settings, then problems on the router side should not be ruled out.
Well, if there are any other errors, then look at this site, I have already written a lot of articles about solving many different problems, but it would be better if they were not useful to you :). Good luck!
