Definition: 192.168.1.1 is an IP address normally used by Linksys broadband routers.
Some other brands of network routers also use this same address. While
technically a computer, printer or other device can be set up to use
this address instead of a router, that's uncommon.

Connecting to A Router Using 192.168.1.1
It isn't always necessary to know your router's IP address. PCs, iPods and other devices typically can find the router by its name (SSID) whenever they need to get online. However, knowing the address becomes important when setting up a new router initially or when troubleshooting a home network problem. If the router has an IP address of 192.168.1.1, you can connect to it by opening a Web browser and visitinghttp://192.168.1.1/This allows you to log into the router's administrator console and access its configuration screens. The procedure may fail for these three reasons:
-
1. The router has failed and is unresponsive to connections via the browser.
2. The router is set up to use a different address than 192.168.1.1.
3. The computer and its browser failed to join the network.
