Accessing the web-based setup page of the router

If you want to configure the advanced settings for your router such as port forwarding for your game console and video camera, setting up a wireless security for your network then you have to access the web-based setup page of your router by accessing myrouter.local. If you want to setup the router manually, then also you have to do this by accessing this website. My router. local is nothing but a website that redirects you to the IP address “192.168.1.1”.

Use a wired connection means use an Ethernet cable to establish a connection between your computer and router to ensure a stable connection throughout the process. A wired connection is also necessary to avoid connection to other Linksys routers in your area.

Before following the steps to access the web-based setup page, check the power LED on your router, it should be lit and also check that the computer is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports on the router.

Follow the steps mentioned below to access the web-based setup page:

1.   Open a web browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.

2.   Type myrouter.local or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of the browser window and press enter. The Address bar is always at the top of the browser. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the router.

3.   A login screen appears having username and password fields. Enter the username and password in the respective fields. The default password is admin and leave the username field blank otherwise enter the username and password that you have set before.

In case, you have forgotten your username and password then you can reset your router to its default factory settings. Locate the reset button located at the back of the router. Press it by using a paper clip or pin and hold it for about 10-12 seconds. Then power on the router again. If you have any problem in accessing the web-based setup page, then contact the Linksys support team. Another option is to chat with us live through our live chat window given at myrouter-local.net.
