Login to your Netis router

Opens your router's admin login page. Works only on your own network.

Netis makes affordable routers and range extenders, and their login has one detail that catches people out: the default username and password are usually guest and guest, not the admin/admin most brands use. You log in at 192.168.1.1 or the web name netis.cc. This guide covers the login, the credential variations, and how to change your Wi-Fi.

How to Log In to a Netis Router

  1. Connect your computer to the router, ideally with an Ethernet cable into a LAN port. A wired connection avoids being logged off when you save changes.
  2. Open a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
  3. Click the address bar at the top of the browser and type 192.168.1.1, or the web name http://netis.cc, then press Enter.
  4. Enter the username and password. See the next section.
  5. Click Login to reach the router settings.

Default Username and Password

Some models192.168.1.1adminadmin

The most common Netis default is guest for both the username and password, all lowercase. This is unusual, since most brands use admin, and it is the main reason people think their login is failing. Some Netis models use admin/admin instead, and newer units may use a unique password printed on the label.

The default Wi-Fi network is often named netis followed by characters, and the Wi-Fi password may also be printed on the label. The sticker on the bottom of the router is the definitive source for your exact model. The login is case-sensitive.

How to Change Your Netis Wi-Fi Name and Password

  1. Log in at 192.168.1.1 or netis.cc.
  2. If you see the simple setup page, click Advanced to reach the full settings.
  3. Go to Wireless, then Wi-Fi Settings or Wireless Settings.
  4. Enter your new network name in the SSID field.
  5. Set the security to WPA2-PSK, and enter your new password in the password field.
  6. Click Save.

After saving, every device drops off the Wi-Fi and reconnects with the new key. Use a password of at least 12 characters with no personal details. On a dual-band model, set the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks separately. Our full guide on how to change your Wi-Fi password walks through it for any router.

What to Do If You Cannot Log In

The page will not load. Confirm you are connected to the Netis router and using the right address.

  • Try both 192.168.1.1 and netis.cc.
  • Confirm your gateway. On Windows, press Windows + R, type cmd, run ipconfig, and read the “Default Gateway” line, or ping 192.168.1.1 to check the router responds. If it still will not open, see our guide on what to do when you cannot access the router web interface.

The password is rejected. Try guest/guest first, then admin/admin. Check the label for a unique password on newer units. Remember the login is case-sensitive.

Set your device to obtain an IP automatically. If your computer has a static IP from a previous setup, it may be on the wrong subnet. Switch to obtaining an address automatically.

Make sure you are connected to the router. The admin page only loads from within your own network, not over mobile data or a VPN.

How to Reset a Netis Router to Factory Settings

A factory reset erases everything and restores the default login. Use it only when locked out.

  1. With the router powered on, find the recessed Default or Reset button on the back.
  2. Use a pin or paperclip to press and hold it for about 8 to 10 seconds, until the lights blink.
  3. Release and wait a minute or two for the router to restart.
  4. Log in at 192.168.1.1 with guest and guest, then set up the router again.

Conclusion

The key to a Netis router login is the unusual default: it is most often guest and guest, not admin, which is exactly why the login so often seems to fail. Go to 192.168.1.1 or netis.cc, sign in with guest and guest, and check the label if that does not work, since some models use admin/admin or a unique password. Once you are in, change the default login and set a strong Wi-Fi password, since guest/guest is published widely.

Frequently asked questions

What is the default username and password for a Netis router?

For most Netis routers, both the username and password are guest, all lowercase, which is unusual since most brands use admin. Some models use admin/admin, and newer units may use a unique password on the label. Check the sticker on your router to be sure.

What is netis.cc?

It is the web name for logging into a Netis router, an alternative to typing the IP address. Enter http://netis.cc in your browser while connected to your Netis router, and it takes you to the same login page as 192.168.1.1.

Why is my Netis login guest instead of admin?

Netis uses guest as the default username and password on many of its routers, unlike the admin most brands use. This is a common reason the login seems to fail. Try guest and guest first, both lowercase, before anything else.

How do I change my Netis Wi-Fi password?

Log in at 192.168.1.1 or netis.cc, click Advanced if needed, go to Wireless then Wi-Fi Settings, enter a new SSID, set WPA2-PSK security, and enter your new password. Click Save. Set both bands separately on a dual-band model.

192.168.1.1 will not open my Netis router. What should I try?

Try the web name netis.cc instead, and confirm your gateway with ipconfig on Windows. Make sure your computer is set to obtain an IP automatically, and that you are connected to the Netis router rather than mobile data or a VPN.

I forgot my Netis password. What can I do?

A factory reset restores the default guest/guest login. Hold the recessed Default or Reset button for about 8 to 10 seconds until the lights blink. This erases all your settings, so you will need to set up the router again afterward.
