192.168.1.254 Login Error

If you get an error message after you typed in your router’s default address on your browser and entered the correct admin username and password and still ended up with an error message then it could be that:

1. Your router’s default IP address is not 192.168.1.254. You can check your router’s manual to check out the default gateway IP address.
2. What if your admin password is not correct? You need to check whether you typed in the correct password. Your admin password is case-sensitive. If the password hasn’t been changed, check the user manual to see the default password and use it accordingly.
3. If you can confirm that you are using the default gateway IP address and the correct username and password but keep getting error messages then it’s advisable to reboot the router and unplug it to cold boot. Wait for about 5 minutes before you start the router again.
4. Check through the router’s firewall settings and disable it. If you can log in after disabling the firewall, then, you shouldn’t turn on the firewall as it’s what is responsible for the login error message.
5. Alas, if you still can’t find your way around it you should try factory reset. While resetting the router to the default will erase all your presets it’ll also help you restore the router and remove all functions causing the router not to work as expected.
