192.168.1.100 – Router Admin Login & Password
The 192.168.1.100 IP is part of the Class C private IP address range as assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). It's a default IP address used for home networking by different WiFi routers. Because class C IPs are not directly connected to the Internet like public IP addresses, data cannot be transmitted to this IP from an outside source with an Internet connection.
If you're unsure of your wireless router's IP address, check the IP listed next to the default gateway address. This can be found by typing ipconfig at the command prompt in Windows or typing ip route | grep default in a Terminal session in macOS.

How do I log in to 192.168.1.100?
To log in to a router that uses the 192.168.1.100 IP, follow these steps.
- Open a web browser. Open a new tab in your preferred web browser, like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
- Go to http://192.168.1.100 or type 192.168.1.100 into your address bar. Make sure you connect to the same network as your router.
If you receive an error message, it's possible that this IP isn't your router’s IP address. - Follow the onscreen directions to the login page to enter the default username and password. For the username and password, check underneath or on the back of the router, in the router’s manual, or on the router box.
- If the default password has changed or if you don’t have access to it, perform a factory reset on the router. To do so, press and hold the RESET button on the back of the router for fifteen seconds. This will reset the router to its default network settings.
Once you access your router's admin panel, you have many options for increasing the performance or security of its connection.
Note that all octets are numerical. While it's easy to mistake an I for a 1 or insert additional characters, there are no letters or special characters in this IP address.
Additionally, ensure that you do not add spaces, such as 192.168 1.100 or 192.168. 1.100. Don't add or remove dots between numbers, like 192..168.1.100 or 192.168.1..100, or add characters, like 192.168.100.1/.
Furthermore, don't leave out any segments, like 192.168.1. These are all incomplete IPs, which could result in a no-response message.
What is the 192.168.1.100 username and password?
The 192.168.1.100 IP is a common router default IP address. It's often used by Trendnet routers.
These router default logins and passwords are case-sensitive. admin/admin is the most popular router login and password for this IP. However, if this doesn't work, you can try other combinations such as:
- admin/1234
- admin/Admin
- admin/password
To locate your username and password, you can also check the complete list of common router logins.
If you forgot or can't find the login for your router, there should be a small reset button on the back of the router. Press and hold this button for a few seconds until the lights on your router blink. Once your router has rebooted, it will reset the router password, subsequently putting the factory default username and password back in place.
CAUTION: Resetting the router using the reset button will erase any custom configuration and put the router back to factory settings. If you set up port forwarding on your router, you must then reapply these router settings.
Usually, your default or basic settings disable port forwarding to protect the connected devices on your home wireless network.
From the admin page, you can change passwords, change access or users, and more. This includes LAN, WAN, and WLAN settings; security settings; DNS settings; and the WiFi SSID.
Changing the default username and password
Once you have access to the 192.168.1.100 admin page, the first thing you should do is change your default router password. Make sure you change it to a new, secure password, as most default passwords are the same. Leaving the default router or WiFi password makes your router, modem, and home network vulnerable to hackers.
Pick a password that contains no personal information. If you need help creating a secure password, try the WhatIsMyIP password generator tool.
Changing the 192.168.1.100 SSID
Access the router, and from the wireless settings page, you can change the SSID or WiFi network name. Changing the name to something easily recognizable that will stand out from other networks is a good idea. This is especially helpful if your neighbors have the same ISP default network names.
Furthermore, if you frequently have guests at your house, it’s a good idea to set up a separate guest network. This will prevent guests from needing to use your Internet at all, keeping your connection safer.
Troubleshooting 192.168.1.100
If you're unable to log in or connect to your router, there are several potential causes. Consider the following solutions for router issues if you're having trouble connecting.
- Have an invalid IP address? Check to make sure you didn't accidentally enter the wrong IP address. Copy and then paste the IP into the address bar to ensure you didn't mistype and miss the address.
- Missing an Ethernet cable? If you don't have a wireless router or need a physical connection to access the router, you might be missing an Ethernet cable. Make sure your device is connected to your router and try again.
- Have a faulty router? Sometimes, routers break or malfunction. It's possible that your router simply needs fixed. If you've tried everything else and still can't log in to your admin, contact your router's manufacturer to try and solve the problem.
