How to log in to your MikroTik router

Connect your computer to a LAN port of the router.
For the browser, open http://192.168.88.1 (WebFig). For the app, download WinBox from MikroTik’s site and connect by IP address or by MAC address.
Log in with the username admin and an empty password. If your model has a sticker password, use it.
When asked, choose whether to keep or reset the default configuration.
Set a password right away. MikroTik’s best practice is to add a new user with a strong password, then disable or remove the default admin user.

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 MikroTik page will not open

The blank password is rejected: Some models ship with a password on the sticker. Check the device label.
WinBox does not find the router by IP: Use the Neighbors list. WinBox can connect by MAC address when the IP address does not work.
I cannot reach 192.168.88.1: Your computer must be on the router’s network. Find the real gateway with the router IP finder.
I locked myself out after changing the user: Reset the router to its default configuration. See the reset guide.

How to keep your router secure
