Open the 192.168.0.254 login page

  1. Connect to the router's network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
  2. Open a web browser and type http://192.168.0.254 into the address bar (not the search box), then press Enter.
  3. Enter the router's username and password when prompted.

Find the username and password

Common factory defaults are admin/admin or admin/password, but the exact login varies by brand. Check the sticker on the bottom of the router, search your model in the router password finder, or look it up in our default router passwords reference. If someone changed it and you don't know the new password, you'll need to reset the router.

Routers that use 192.168.0.254

192.168.0.254 is a common default for these brands:

  • BT
  • some DSL modems

Because the address can be changed, the only way to be sure is to check your device's default gateway.

Confirm 192.168.0.254 is your router's address

  • Windows: open Command Prompt, run ipconfig, and read the "Default Gateway" line.
  • macOS: System Settings → Network → Details → TCP/IP, and read "Router".
  • iPhone / Android: Wi-Fi settings → your network → look for "Router" or "Gateway".

If the gateway shown is not 192.168.0.254, type that address instead. New to this? See how to access your router settings.

192.168.0.254 won't load?

  • Make sure you typed http://192.168.0.254, not a search query.
  • Confirm 192.168.0.254 is actually your default gateway (see above).
  • Disable any VPN and try again on the local network.
  • Try another browser or an incognito window.
  • Power-cycle the router, or factory reset it as a last resort.
