When the E4200 Default Password Doesn’t Work
If the default admin password doesn’t work, the password may have been changed to something more secure. If you don’t know the new password, a reset will bring the router back to its factory default settings so that the default password works. Here’s how to reset the E4200 router: Resetting the E4200 resets the username and password and also any custom settings you configured. For example, if you set up a wireless network before you reset the router, re-enter that information, including the SSID and wireless password.
When You Can’t Access the E4200 Router
If no changes have been made to the IP address of the E4200, you should be able to access the router at the default address (http://192.168.1.1). If it has been changed, however, you don’t need to reset the router or do anything drastic to see what its current IP address is. Instead, find what the default gateway is set up as on a computer that’s connected to the router. This IP address is the same as the router’s address. In Windows, find your default gateway IP address. In macOS, open System Preferences > Network > TCP/IP.
