192.168.178.1 - This is how the router login works

Have you just bought a new WLAN router? Or do you want to make various settings on your existing router? No problem, because nowadays all routers can be conveniently managed independently. You don't need any software to do this, but can make the settings in a browser of your choice.

You can find out how to call up the router menu (tip: with the IP address 192.168.178.1) and which requirements have to be met in our guide.

Call up the user interface in 3 steps

Open a web browser of your choice. It doesn't matter if you use Chrome, Firefox, Opera or the good old Internet Explorer.

In the address bar, type the string "192.168.178.1". Make sure that you do not mix up any numbers or make any other typing errors.

Now the login screen of the router menu should open, where you only have to enter your user name and password.

Now you should have access to the router menu and can make the settings you want.

Which routers can be accessed with the IP address 192.168.178.1? Most manufacturers of wireless routers now use their own fixed IP addresses to access the router menu. In the case of 192.168.178.1, the IP address is primarily used for AVM's FritzBox. It doesn't matter if you use the newest model FRITZ!Box 7590 or an older model like FRITZ!Box 3490. With all models, you can access the router menu with this IP address. Alternatively, the Fritzbox login also works via "fritz.box" (without quotation marks) or with the emergency IP 169.254.1.1.

Which password can I use to log in?

If you have successfully opened the router menu in the browser, you often have to enter a password to get access to the router. This default password is often "0000", but not so with the FRITZ!Box from AVM. Here you can find the password to use on the sticker on the bottom of the WLAN router.

You should change this default password as soon as possible to increase the WLAN security. At the same time, you should also change the SSID and the WLAN password.

Common typos

Most of the time, access to the router does not work because of a typing error. Please make sure that you have entered the IP address 192.168.178.1 correctly in your browser. Most often, access to the router interface does not work because

192.168.l78.1

is typed in (i.e. the letter L instead of a 1). When typing the IP address, only numbers are allowed, neither letters nor special characters like pipe symbols (|) are allowed. So you have to enter four blocks of numbers, each separated by a dot. But even with the following wrong spellings the access to the router will not work:

Find out router IP address

When you surf the Internet, you inevitably use IP addresses. They are elementary, so that computers in networks can communicate with each other. That's why every computer and router has its own IP address. From time to time you will find yourself in a situation where you have to work with IP addresses. This includes for example the router setup.

What you can do with the router IP address, how you can determine it and what you can do in case of problems is explained in our guide.

Why do I need the IP address of the router?

To access the configuration interface of a router, you need its IP address. This is where you set up the access data and the phone numbers for most telecommunications providers. The exact options vary depending on the router model. However, most routers offer the following settings, for example:

Set up phone numbers of third party providers

Configure individual phones, assign phone numbers, manage phone book

Set up digital answering machine or integrated fax

View and save call lists

Set up port shares for game consoles and others

Set up WLAN printers or network storage directly via the router

Change WLAN configuration such as radio channel

Default IP addresses of known router models

Often you don't have to determine an IP address first. Most router manufacturers always assign one and the same address for their various router models. Since this can be changed, some have a non-changeable rescue IP address as well as a URL, a unique network address consisting of two character combinations separated by a period.

Some router manufacturers have used different IP addresses for their router models. Here is an overview of the most common router manufacturers in alphabetical order and their most commonly used IP addresses.

Reading IP addresses from the nameplate

If you don't have the list at hand or your router manufacturer is not listed, you can usually find out the IP address of the router quite easily. It is often written on the nameplate of the router.

You can recognize the IP address by its typical structure. It consists of four number combinations, each separated by a dot, and in almost all cases starts with 192.168.

Determining the IP address with Windows and Mac OS X

If your router does not have a sticker with the necessary information or someone has changed the IP address of your router, there are other possibilities. The prerequisite is that you have an active connection from your PC or laptop to the router.

Windows First hold down the Windows key between Ctrl and Alt and press the "R" key once. A new window opens, which is titled "Run". Enter the term "ncpa.cpl" in the field behind "Open" and confirm the entry with "OK".

In the new opened window you will find all network connections. If you are connected to the router with a LAN cable, the entry "LAN connection" or "Ethernet" is interesting. If you have a wireless connection, look for the "Wireless network connection" or "WiFi connection", where you can find the name of your WLAN.

Click with the right mouse button on the corresponding entry and select "Status". Via the item "Details" you get a long list with a lot of information. Look for the entry "IPv4 standard gateway". The IP address behind it is the address of the router.

The IPv4 address is the IP address of your personal computer or laptop. If it starts with 169.254. you have a problem with the network configuration. Possible solutions can be found below.

Mac OS X On Mac OS X, finding the router IP is even easier if you are connected via WLAN. While clicking on the WLAN icon at the top, hold down the "alt" key. A menu opens with the entry "Router". Behind it is the IP address.

If this method does not work or you are connected to the router via cable, some other steps are necessary. Via the Apple icon in the upper bar, select "System Preferences" and then "Network". In the window that opens, you'll find the current connections on the left, where you can select the connected one if necessary. AirPort corresponds to WLAN, Ethernet is a connection via LAN cable.

Via "More options..." you open a new window where you select the tab "TCP/IP". There you will also find the entry "Router".

What to do if the connection to the router does not work?

Like computers, routers have an operating system, usually called firmware. This is often based on Linux. Like a computer, it can happen that it hangs. The complete or a single function are then no longer given.

To get the router running, the power should be disconnected for about 1 minute. The PC should be terminated via "Shutdown" and switched on again after restarting the router.

If the IPv4 address 169.254.x.x was determined, your computer did not get an IP address from the WLAN router. This means that they cannot communicate with each other. If this is the case for all devices in the network, the error most likely lies with the router. The easiest thing to do is to reset the router to factory settings.

If only one device is affected, the computer does not request an IP address or cannot be assigned one. In the network connections you can then try an automatic diagnosis of the connection by selecting your connection with the right mouse button and clicking on "Repair" or "Diagnosis".

If this does not work, open the "Properties" via the right mouse button, select the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" in the list and mark this entry. Then click on "Properties" below it.

Once there, select "Use the following IP addresses" and enter the following information:

IP address: The first three ranges correspond to the router, the last number should be between 150 and 200.

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: IP address of the router

Preferred DNS server: IP address of the router

Alternative DNS server: 8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 (DNS server from Google, alternatively leave free)

If you have determined a correct IP address and still no access is possible, try another browser and temporarily disable your firewall. If you see that the security certificate has expired, add the website as an exception.
