I cannot access my router configuration page.

Well, If you'd like to setup your router or do any configuration changes on it, you have first to be able to access your router's Configuration page through your router's default IP address (Your Gateway IP) if you didn't change it before.

Cannot Access my Router's Configuration page troubleshooting Steps.

Cannot login to router page

In most cases Routers Default IP address may be 192.168.1.1 with login information:

Username: admin
Password: admin
Or may be 192.168.0.1 with login information:
Username: admin
Password: Blank

To resolve difficulties with logging into your WiFi router configuration page, Please try to follow below steps:

Step One:



Verify Physical Connectivity between your computer and router.
Use an Ethernet Cable to be connected between your Computer and one of your Router's LAN     Ports.
Check for LAN link light on your router (Must be green / yellow ON).
If you don't get a link light try using another Ethernet cable or connect to different LAN port on  your router, and Don't Forget to power ON your Computer so that link goes UP.

Step Two:

If you're using LAN Connection, try to disable wireless connection Or If using Wireless adapter connection so disable LAN connection in order avoid any conflict when trying to access Router's IP address.

Step Three:

Disable your internet Security software/ Windows defender Firewall running on your laptop, it may block access to your router's configuration page.

Step Four: 

Make sure that the IP address you're trying to access is your router's default gateway ( means no one else changed it before).
Check your Computer TCP/IP Settings, If you're connecting Ethernet Cable directly between your computer and your router so your computer will get TCP/IP settings from your router DHCP.

For windows 8 Or 10 >> Open Control panel >> Network and internet >> Network and sharing Center >> Click on Ethernet >> Click on Details

As below Screens.....

As You see My IPv4 Default gateway here is 172.16.0.1 which is my router IP Address ( I have changed it before).
So when i am trying to access my router's configuration page I'll type 172.16.0.1 instead of 192.168.1.1

Step Five:

Use the Command prompt to Ping your router's IP address to make sure you're still connected.
Ping 192.168.1.1 For example...
