Mobile routers with a SIM card often use 192.168.8.1. The page also shows signal strength, data usage and SMS messages.

How to log in to 192.168.8.1

  1. Connect to the router by Wi-Fi or cable. Turn off any VPN.
  2. Type http://192.168.8.1 into the address bar of your browser, not into the search box.
  3. If the browser shows a security warning, continue: the router uses its own certificate.
  4. Enter the username and password from the table above or from the label.
  5. Change the admin password right away, so nobody else on your Wi-Fi can change your settings.

If 192.168.8.1 does not open

  • Check the default gateway of your device: your router may use another address. See how to find your default gateway.
  • Make sure you are on the router network, not on mobile data or a guest network.
  • Type http:// before the address, or try another browser or a private window.
  • Restart the router and wait two minutes.
  • Forgot the password? Hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. This restores factory settings, including the Wi-Fi name and password.

Typing mistakes such as 192.168.8.l are not addresses: the browser searches for them instead. An IP address has only digits and dots.
