What is 192.168.123.254
The private IP address 192.168.123.254 is the default gateway address assigned by the manufacturer of your router to all devices of the same model. In contrast to the public IP, the assigning of which is the responsibility of the Internet Service Provider, you can change 192.168.123.254 to any other valid combination you’d like once you get access to the 192.168.123.254/admin dashboard. Your router uses its private address to communicate with devices you connect to the wifi by creating a network of netmasks that identify each device. It is also the address devices on the network used to send requests for data packages.
Logging into your 192.168.123.254 router
Gaining access to your router’s dashboard is an easy enough task. Open up an internet browser of your choice and type https:// 192.168.123.254 or http:// 192.168.123.254 in the address bar. From there, you will be asked to provide the username and password for your device. Type those in, and you are ready to go adjusting your wireless settings and improving your router’s security.
If you are experiencing any difficulties, make sure that the internet-capable device you are using, such as a smartphone, laptop, or tablet, is connected to your router’s wifi. The default name of your router’s network is the brand and model. Ideally, you should connect your device to the Ethernet port of your router via a cable. That will ensure a stable connection throughout. You might also have difficulty in the login stage. The username and password should be either those you, or your ISP set when establishing the network, or more often – the default logins for your router.
What are the Default Username and Password for 192.168.123.254?
Typically, the combination is simply “admin” for both username and password. If these don’t work, check out the label on the bottom of the device itself. You will find the logins listed next to your local IP 192.168.123.254. You can also check online – the logins should be listed on the manufacturer’s website.
Resetting the 192.168.123.254 logins
To reset the password for your 192.168.123.254 router, you can go two ways:
