How to find the router password online

 

The role of the router is to send the packets from one network to another network over the internet.

In order to access   the router, the password is required. Most of the routers have a default password that can be used to access and configure it. The problem is that most of the clients do not change the default password. The default password for the router is available online and the password is unique, so it does not change. You need to know the name of the router and search on the browser to get the password. Which makes the password easy to guess. Another problem here is that most people do not change the default password and leave it as a blind password. Imagine that you gave the access to your local network to someone with bad intention, the person will have just to use the cmd command “ipconfig” to find the gateway IP address which is your router IP address and use the default password to connect and change the settings from the router. The person could have the whole control of your network and redirect the traffic to another place.

As we said, the default passwords are available over the internet, let’s show you how you can get the default password and connect to it.

Example:

  1. First you need to know the router on which you want to access (check the router name on the router you have or want to access)
  2. Click on the link and find the router name and click on find password

Router name listed

      3. Open cmd, type ipconfig

Check if you are connected by cable or cableless, in our case, we are connected via cableless

4. Now you have the IP address from the gateway or the route, open any browser from your choice, type the “http:/ /IP address” of the gateway, you get the dashboard with the username and password. Type the username name and password to get the access.

NB: Note that from the link Accelerated Networks Router passwords – List of all default passwords for the Accelerated Networks Router, you might not find the router name or the password. You can type the name from your search browser (google search, Microsoft bring or others) to find the relevant information.

In order to prevent someone without your consent to get access to your router and change the settings, you need to follow some best practices.

Best practices:

  • Change the default password and username
  • Use MAC access control
  • In case you have a doubt that someone accessed to your network, contact your service provider immediately
  • In case you do not remember your new password or username, you can reset the router (reset factory) to go back to the main configuration and change it again.
  • Reduce the WIFI signal so it does not go out of your real.

All follow the best practices to protect your network.
