Myrouter Local
Myrouter local is the default web address that is used to log in Linksys routers’ web-based setup page at http://myrouter.local. This web interface is essential when you need to set up different settings such as port forwarding, wireless networking setup security, and LAN settings.
How do I login to myrouter.local
- Open a web browser on a device that is connected to the same network as the router.
- In the address bar of the web browser, type the IP address of the router and press Enter. This will open the router’s login page.
- On the login page, enter the username and password for the router. The default login credentials are usually printed on a sticker on the bottom or back of the router.
- If you have changed the default login credentials and have forgotten them, you will need to reset the router to its factory default settings. To do this, you will need to press and hold the reset button on the back of the router for at least 10 seconds. This will reset the router to its default settings, including the default login credentials.
Note: The steps for logging in to a router may vary depending on the make and model of the router. If you are having trouble logging in to your router, you may want to refer to the router’s documentation or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
