How to setup Linksys router using 192.168.1.1 ?
192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of almost all the models of Linksys router.
If you type this number in the address bar of your Internet browser, it will open the setup page of the Linksys router.
Your computer must be connected to the router in order to open the setup page.
I will recommend you to connect your computer with the Ethernet cable to the Linksys router. Do not use wireless computer to open the settings page, even if it is connected to the wireless network.
Connect the computer to one of the Ethernet ports on the router. If you connect the computer to the Internet port then your computer will get auto-configuration IP address like 169.254.1.x and this IP address will not communicate with the router. So the connection to the router is very important.
Check the IP address on your computer.
Open the command prompt and check the IP address of your computer. In the command prompt type "ipconfig" and hit enter. You will see the IP address and the default gateway number. Default gateway number id the IP address of your router.
In some cases you will see only IP address and no default gateway number. Make sure that your computer is not using static settings. Go to Network connection. Check the Local area connection properties. Make sure that there is no static settings or bridge connection.
The default IP address of WCG200 is 192.168.0.1. WCG200 is a cable modem + router. This is the only cable gateway that Linksys has.
If you are not able to open the setup page using 192.168.1.1 then try to ping that number. In the command prompt type " ping 192.168.1.1 " , hit enter. If you get 4 replies than your computer is communicating with the Linksys router. Make sure that there is no firewall on your computer.
If you have DSL Internet connection then I will suggest you to disconnect the Internet modem from the router. Connect only the computer to the router. Reset the router and then try to open the setup page using 192.168.1.1.
If you are still not able to open the setup page then try How to open setup page of the router.
If you reset the router, you will lose all the settings on the router and you will need to reconfigure it from the start.
My PC is connected to the router with the Ethernet cable. I can see the IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.1 and there is no defualt gateway number. Try to find the static IP settings but don't know how to check it.
