Linksys WRT160N Router Default Login Information
The default password for the Linksys WRT160N router is admin. This password, like most passwords, is case-sensitive, which in this instance means all the letters should be in lowercase. When you’re asked for the WRT160N username, just leave that field blank. Some Linksys routers use a default username, but that’s not the case with this one. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address for the Linksys WRT160N.
Help! The WRT160N Default Password Doesn’t Work!
When the default password for a router no longer works, it most likely means that the password has been changed to something else, probably something much more secure. The default password for the WRT160N router is way too easy for anyone to guess, which is probably why it was changed. The good thing is that you can just reset the router back to its default settings to restore the default password and log in with admin. Here’s how to reset the Linksys WRT160N router: At this point, after having reset the WRT160N router, you have to reenter any customizations that you had before the reset. For example, wireless network settings like the SSID and password will have to be re-entered, as will any custom DNS servers, etc.
Help! I Can’t Access My WRT160N Router!
You should be able to access the WRT160N router at the address http://192.168.1.1. If you can’t, it just means the IP address was changed at some point but you’ve forgotten what the new one is. Unlike how you have to reset the router if you forget the password, you just have to do a little bit of digging to figure out the WRT160N IP address. What you need to do is find the default gateway IP address of a computer that’s connected to the router. It’s that IP address that’s the one you need to use as the URL to access the router.
