192.168.168.168 Router Login

To open your router's admin panel, type 192.168.168.168 into your browser's address bar, or use a button below.

Based on your network, this should be your router's admin address. It only works while you're connected to your own router's Wi-Fi or cable.

192.168.168.168 is a default gateway address used by several manufacturers to reach the admin panel. It is most associated with SonicWall firewalls, but a number of other brands use it too, including Amped Wireless, Ambit, Hame, and Parrot. Because it spans different devices, the login details vary, and the label on your device is the most reliable source. This guide covers how to log in, the common credentials, and what to do when the page will not load.

How to Log In to 192.168.168.168

  1. Connect your phone or computer to the device, over Wi-Fi or with an Ethernet cable into a LAN port.
  2. Open a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.
  3. Click the address bar at the top of the browser, the bar that shows the web address. Do not use the search box in the middle of the page.
  4. Type 192.168.168.168 and press Enter. If the device uses a secure connection, try https://192.168.168.168 as well.
  5. If a security or certificate warning appears, continue past it. It is safe on your own network.
  6. Enter the username and password when the login page loads. See the section below.

Default Username and Password

The right credentials depend on which brand uses 192.168.168.168 on your device.

DeviceUsernamePassword
Most devicesadminadmin
SonicWall firewallsadminpassword
Othersadminadmin, or the label password

For most routers and access points at this address, admin/admin is the common default. On SonicWall firewalls, which are the most notable users of 192.168.168.168, the default is admin with the password password, and the login uses a secure https connection. If an admin with these passwords is rejected, check the label on the device, since some units use a unique password.

The credentials are case-sensitive, so enter them exactly. Note that the admin login is separate from your Wi-Fi password.

Which Devices Use 192.168.168.168?

This address is not tied to one company. It is used by SonicWall firewalls, Amped Wireless devices, and brands including Ambit, Hame, and Parrot, among others. SonicWall is the most common association, so if your device is a business firewall at this address, our dedicated SonicWall guide covers it in more detail. If 192.168.168.168 does not open at all, your device likely uses a more common address such as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.

How to Change Your Wi-Fi Password

For routers and access points at this address, changing the Wi-Fi key follows the usual pattern.

  1. Log in at 192.168.168.168.
  2. Open the Wireless or WLAN settings section.
  3. Find the Wi-Fi name (SSID) and the Wi-Fi password field, sometimes labeled Pre-Shared Key or Network Key.
  4. Enter your new password and save or apply the change.

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 SonicWall firewall, wireless settings live within the firewall’s management interface rather than a simple wireless page. Our full guide on how to change your Wi-Fi password covers the usual routers.

What to Do If 192.168.168.168 Will Not Load

Confirm the address is correct for your network. Check your actual gateway:

  • On Windows: press Windows + R, type cmd, and run ipconfig. Read the “Default Gateway” line.
  • On a phone: open your Wi-Fi network details and look for the gateway or router field. Our guide on how to find your router’s IP address covers every device.

Whatever address appears there is the one to use. It may be 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or another address entirely.

Try https instead of http. Some devices at this address, SonicWall firewalls in particular, require a secure connection. If plain http fails, use https://192.168.168.168.

Check that you typed the numbers correctly. The address is 192.168.168.168, four groups, with 168 repeated. Enter digits only, with no letters in place of the ones.

Make sure you are connected to the device. A VPN, guest network, or mobile data will all stop the address from loading.

Another device took the IP. Occasionally another device on the network claims the address. Reboot the router or device and try again.

How to Reset the Device to Factory Settings

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

  1. Find the recessed Reset button on the back or bottom of the device.
  2. With the device powered on, use a pin or paperclip to press and hold it for about 10 to 30 seconds, until the lights blink.
  3. Release and wait a minute or two for the device to restart.
  4. Log in with the default credentials for your brand, then set a new password.

For business firewalls like SonicWall, a reset erases all configuration and security rules, so back up the configuration first if you can.

Conclusion

Logging in at 192.168.168.168 means connecting to the device, typing the address into your browser, and signing in, usually with admin and admin, or admin and password on the SonicWall firewalls most associated with this address. The label on your device is the most reliable source for the exact credentials, and if the page will not load, try https and confirm it is actually your gateway.
