Your router’s settings let you change your Wi-Fi name, set up parental controls, open ports and more. Here’s how to get in.

📱 Internet Lightspeed mesh routers

Mesh routers are managed through an app on your phone. Simply open the app and sign in.

🖥️ Most other routers

  1. Connect to your network.
  2. Open a web browser and type your router’s address into the address bar. It’s often printed on the router’s label (common examples are 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).
  3. Sign in with the admin username and password, also usually on the label.

Good to know: settings like your Wi-Fi name, parental controls and port forwarding live on your router. If your modem is just a modem (with a separate router doing the Wi-Fi), there’s usually nothing on the modem you need to change.

Every model is a little different, so if you’re not sure where to look, give our Technical Support Team a call. We’ll be glad to help with your request.

⚠️ A friendly word of caution

Changing the wrong setting can disconnect you. If you’re unsure, give us a call first. We’d much rather walk you through it than have you stuck offline.
