Latest Router and Access Point Default Password for All Models

List of Access Point Default Passwords

Before discussing more about the default password on an access point, it is important to understand the difference between a router and an access point.

• Router: A device that connects multiple networks and routes data traffic between them. Routers usually also have features such as NAT (Network Address Translation), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and firewalls.
• Access Point: A device that extends the range of a wireless network. Access points typically connect to a router or switch and provide Wi-Fi access to devices within range. Access points do not regulate data traffic between networks like routers.

Due to their different functions,  the default passwords for routers and access points may also be different. This default password is used to access the device’s administration interface, where users can configure network settings.

How to Find the Access Point’s Default Password

Using Stickers on Access Points

As with routers, many access points also have stickers that display the default login information. This sticker is usually located on the bottom or back of the device and states:

• SSID: The name of the Wi-Fi network provided by the access point.
• Default IP Address: The IP address used to access the access point administration interface (for example, 192.168.0.1).
• Default Username: The username used to log in (usually “admin”).
• Default Password: The password used to log in (for example, “admin” or “password”).

If you are still using the default password, it is highly recommended to change it immediately for the security of your network.

Refer to the Manual Manual

The manual that comes with the access point at the time of purchase usually lists the default password and other login information. The manual also provides instructions on how to configure and set up the access point.

If you lose the manual, you can download a digital version from the official website of the access point manufacturer.

Search on the Official Website

If you can’t find the default password on the sticker or manual, you can visit the official website of the access point manufacturer. Most manufacturers provide a support page where you can search for your access point model and find the default login information. General steps you can take on the official website:

1. Go to the official website of the access point manufacturer (for example, www.linksys.com or www.netgear.com).
2. Navigate to the Support section.
3. Search for your access point model using the search field or drop-down menu.
4. Look for user manuals or technical documentation that usually lists the default password.
