How to find and log in to your router
People usually get confused between a router login and a wireless login, they are two different logins.
Router = Configuration
Wireless = Network login
Windows:
Code:Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Linux:
Open the terminal and type:
Code:route -n
To log in:
Open up your web browser, (Internet explorer, Firefox, Chrome etc) and put that IP address in your address bar: http://192.168.1.1
You should see your routers log in page or a login box will pop up.
Some default log in info:

Usually the Username and Password should be on the back of your router.
http://www.routerpasswords.com has a huge list of router makes and username/password combinations. After logging into your router it is recommended to change your password.
Once you’ve logged in you can change the wireless password, the SSID name, port forward etc.
