What Is the WRT120N Default Gateway?
The default gateway is the IP address that devices connected to the network use to access the router and the internet. The default IP address for the WRT120N router is 192.168.1.1. You can enter this as a URL in a web browser to open the router settings.
Why Is the WRT120N Default Password Not Working?
While the default password for the WRT120N works with the router out of the box, this default information can be changed from the router settings, which may be why you can’t access the router. If you can’t log in to the Linksys WRT120N with the default credentials, reset the router to reapply the default settings and reinstate the default password.
How to Reset the WRT120N Password
Resetting the WRT120N router is pretty straightforward: Resetting a router removes all the custom settings that were configured. Therefore, settings such as the SSID, network passwords, port forwarding rules, and guest network configurations will need to be re-entered.
How to Back Up the WRT120N Router Settings
After setting up the router with your custom preferences, make a backup so that you can restore the configurations if the router is reset again in the future. To do this, open the router settings and go to Administration > Management, then select Backup Configurations. A file will be generated, which you can upload by selecting Restore Configurations on the same page to restore your settings at any time.
