How to log in to your GL.iNet router

Connect to the GL.iNet Wi-Fi, or plug a LAN cable into the router.
Open a browser and type http://192.168.8.1.
If the page jumps to a different layout, try http://192.168.8.1/index.
Pick your language, then create the admin password and submit it.
Sign in with that password to reach Wi-Fi, VPN and internet settings.

Example router label: the web address, username and admin password are the lines you need to log in, and they are different from the Wi-Fi name and password — Illustration only, not a photo of a real product. The login details are usually on a label under the router.

If the GL.iNet page will not open

It asks for a password I never set: The router was set up before. If you cannot remember the password, a factory reset lets you create a new one. A reset erases your settings.
The Wi-Fi password and admin password differ: The admin password only opens the panel. The Wi-Fi password only joins the network. Changing one does not change the other.
192.168.8.1 does not load: Check you are connected to this router, not mobile data or another Wi-Fi. If your computer’s gateway shows a different address, use the router IP finder.
A search page opens instead of the router: Type http:// before the address, and type it in the address bar, not the search box.
Wrong username or password: The admin password is not your Wi-Fi password. Check the label on the router. If you changed it and forgot it, see the reset guide.
Two routers on the same address: If your own router sits behind an ISP box that uses the same range, see own router behind an ISP router.

How to keep your router secure

Change the default admin password and use a long one that you do not use anywhere else.
Keep the router firmware up to date.
Turn off remote management unless you really need it.
Use WPA2 or WPA3 for Wi-Fi.
