How to Access Wireless Router Settings

Wireless router settings allow you to make changes to your network configuration and also provide better network security. You can access your wireless router setting using any internet browser while you are connected to your router network. Changing your router settings is not a very difficult task but you need to know how to access them. Follow the given steps to access your wireless router settings.

Step1: First, connect your computer to the router using the Ethernet cable, although you can connect over Wi-Fi, it is better to connect using the network cable. Plug the cable into the appropriate Ethernet jack on your computer. And plug the other end of the cable into any one of the four Ethernet ports on the back of your wireless router.

Step2: Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the wireless router into the URL address field. Normally, the default IP address for most of the routers is “192.168.1.1”. Refer to your wireless router support manual for the correct IP addressed and login details.
