3842<details class="faq-item"><summary>How do I find my router&#x27;s login IP address?</summary><div class="faq-a"><p>Most UK routers use 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.254.  BT, EE and Plusnet use 192.168.1.254; Sky, NOW and Virgin Media use 192.168.0.1; TalkTalk, Vodafone and most retail routers use 192.168.1.1.  If none open, find the exact address on the label on the base of your router.</p></div></details>

3848
3849<details class="faq-item"><summary>What is the default username and password for my router?</summary><div class="faq-a"><p>It varies by brand.  Legacy kit often used admin and admin, or admin and password, but under the UK PSTI Act, in force since 29 April 2024, universal default passwords are banned on new kit, so most modern routers ship with a unique password printed on a label.  Always change any default.</p></div></details>

3855
3856<details class="faq-item"><summary>Why won&#x27;t my router login page open?</summary><div class="faq-a"><p>Make sure you are connected to the router by Wi-Fi or Ethernet, type the address straight into the browser bar rather than a search box, and try the full https address.  If it still fails, your router may use a different gateway, so check the base label or your device&#x27;s network settings.</p></div></details>

3861
3862
3863<details class="faq-item"><summary>How do I reset my router to factory settings?</summary><div class="faq-a"><p>Hold the recessed Reset pinhole for about 10 seconds until the lights blink and the router restarts.  A reset erases custom settings.  The 30-30-30 reset is a myth on modern units.</p></div></details>

3869
3870<details class="faq-item"><summary>Can I use my own router instead of my ISP&#x27;s hub?</summary><div class="faq-a"><p>Often yes, but it depends on the ISP.  Some need PPPoE credentials or a VLAN ID, Sky needs DHCP option 61, and some hubs do not offer a true bridge mode.  See the per-ISP guides for the exact method.</p></div></details>
