Wondering How To Login To My Wifi Router? There are actually a couple of ways to accomplish this. Let's start off with the easier (and possibly less time-consuming) method. Connect your computer or laptop to the internet using a Wi-Fi hot spot device, usually a USB connectable wireless router or access point card (access point devices are USB dongles that give you internet access - similar to modern iPad wireless connectivity)

 

The first step is to locate your wireless router. This is usually not a difficult task - it just requires looking under your desk or entertainment center. If it is positioned on a cabinet or shelf, the job becomes a little easier. Next, search for your device's SSID (social security number) and enable (or enable) the password option. This usually defaults to the default, which is '8-) You can change it to something unique (and usually more difficult to guess) and save it. Next, restart your computer or laptop and you're in business.

 

Now, if you have an older computer or some other non-wireless device, you will need to connect it to the same network that you used with your wireless router. Again, find your device's SSID (social security number) and connect to it. You will be prompted for a password - this is usually only short, such as '123456'. You also have the option of turning on encryption on your access point, though this may take more time (sometimes up to 30 minutes) depending on your wireless router's setup.

Once done, you should notice that you now have two options. The first is to enter the 'usual' password that you've set before. This is the one often associated with access points. The other is to create a userid or group with which you can access the internet (this is often a shared secret between you and your family or roommates). This userid or groupid will be something unique to you, like 'admin' or 'htacces'.

Once done, you can either try connecting through the default method (which is usually what you are familiar with) or through the WAP. WAP stands for Wireless Access Providers Protocol and it is a protocol designed to allow other wireless devices on the network (such as your wireless router) to connect to it. It is used as an alternative to standard protocols such as Bluetooth and USB. The WAP is typically implemented by a browser and provides a much faster way of sharing documents and pages since it bypasses the slow scan necessary for Bluetooth and USB pages. However, WAP does have its drawbacks and that is why some people prefer to use the usual method of using your computer's browser.

However, if you have changed your default method of connecting your computer to the network, then there may be issues when trying to log in to your router. One of the main issues you could encounter is if you are trying to log in but you are not entering your username and password every time. For instance, if you are in school or at work and are using the same computer on which you usually do your online log in attempts, then your router may only be able to give you this access after you have changed the default login details. This would result in you having to either enter new userid or pass in your existing one before you are able to access your wireless router again. It is advisable though that you change these details if you know that you will need to change them frequently.

Another issue is when you accidentally disconnect from your access point or the wireless network. In this case, your router will automatically assume that everything is already deactivated and it will not be able to connect to the network again. If you want to continue to be able to log in, then you may have to reconnect manually. Simply re-add your access point and re-attempt your log in.

 

One last issue that would result in you needing to log in to your router is if you have to reset it. Some routers will automatically reset once you plug it in so that it can detect the existing network and can then automatically connect with it. If not, then you have to try to reset the wireless router manually. Simply remove all components from your access point, unscrew the screws, and then reassemble everything back again so that you can log in again.
