Linksys Default Password List

Most Linksys brand routers have a default password of admin and a default IP address of 192.168.1.1, but some differ, as you can see in the table below.

Once in, change the default router password from admin to something more secure.

More help is below the table if you don't see your Linksys model below, the listed default password won't work, or you have another question.

Linksys Default Passwords (Valid March 2022)

_{[1] The Linksys E4200 router comes in two hardware versions, v1 and v2. Version 1 does not require a username, while Version 2 requires admin as the username.}

_{[2] The router is controlled from the Linksys app, so you don't need to know the IP address or the router's username or password.}

_{[3] To access the router from a web browser, first set it up using the Linksys app, which is where you create a username and password for the router.}

What to Do When the Linksys Default Data Above Doesn't Work

You only have one choice when your Linksys device's default password or default username has been changed and you don't know what these are: reset the device to factory defaults.

For most Linksys devices, perform a factory reset by pressing and holding the Reset button for at least 10 seconds (30 seconds on older models) and then unplugging and plugging back in the device.

If that doesn't work, check the router or other device's manual to find advice for that Linksys model. You can find your device's manual in PDF format from Linksys Support.

A factory reset also returns the IP address that's configured for the Linksys device back to 192.168.1.1, or whatever the default may be, but doing so could cause problems.

If you only need your Linksys router's IP address, it's almost always the same as the default gateway that's configured for your computers and other devices that connect to it.
