How to access 192.168.1.2 IP address
Step 1 – To initiate the process you have to type in http://192.168.1.2 in your browser and hit enter.
Note: The process is platform independent, so it does not matter if you are using your smartphone or laptop or desktop to login as long as the device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The fundamental requirement though, is, your browser must be one of the sophisticated ones like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome or even the latest Microsoft Edge since HTML5 pop-up support is essential for the process.
Step 2 – Now that you have hit enter, you will be welcomed to a page, and you would be asked to enter your user id and password. Enter your default user id and password (as provided by the manufacturer over here).
Step 3 – Once you have entered your proper credentials correctly, you will be able to login directly to the main page of your firmware and make the changes accordingly and see your router reflect the alterations in its working.
WARNING – DO NOT fiddle around or manipulate the settings which you don’t understand because if you mess up, you will have to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to fix the problem.
Step 4 – Once you have successfully completed the third step, you will still find that you are unable to access some of the settings. Those are the administrative settings which can be accessed by the administrative authorities.
However, if you wish to access those settings too, you must login with the admin ID and password. Surprisingly, there is no other secret or special admin password and the entire process is quite easy to execute. To do this, you have to enter your IP address in the bar once again and hit enter. This time, you must type “admin” in both the fields of the password as well as user ID when you are prompted to do so and voilà!
