Accessing Router

[dave111]

To access my Netgear Router's control panel I use: 192.168.0.1
Is there a list/website of access address's to other wireless routers.
Or is that the way to access any routers CP.

Cheers.

most routers control panels would run on a web server on the routers own IP address.
It would also depends on what had been set ( if not on the defaults )

why do you need to know ?

[Jonny M]

On a home network it will always be the gateway address.

trying to help a neighbour - dont know what router he has got.
what would the gateway address be?

[schmunk]

How about you go round to the neighbour's house and find out what the router is, or ask them to tell you...

[EvilWeevil]

Usually the address is 192.168.0.1, or try 2.1 at the end.

Otherwise do a trace
eg to google using something like samspade and the first ip it goes through is the gateway ip address.

[ajbrun]

It should say what router it is on the router...

cheers.
its a belkin
is there a way to remotely reset/change the admin password?

You can try doing a master reset which should restore the setting back to factory default.
I found this link here for the Belkin Router factory reset:
http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/tec...stamp=5E5F5E5F

Then I guess you can download the manual and find the default password. However before doing a factory reset. The defaults for Belkin routers are
IP Address: 192.168.2.1
User Name: admin
Password: admin

N.B. When doing a factory reset your network may stop working, so be careful when doing this. I would advise downloading the manual from Belkin to make sure you can get the network back to what it was in worst case scenario.

Good luck
