DD-WRT is firmware, not a router brand
DD-WRT is alternative firmware that owners install on routers from other brands, such as Linksys, NETGEAR, ASUS or D-Link. Once DD-WRT is installed, the original brand’s address and password no longer apply: DD-WRT decides the login.
How to log in
- Connect a computer to the router by cable.
- Open 192.168.1.1, the DD-WRT default address.
- On the first visit DD-WRT opens a password change page. The default username is
root; enter a new password and save. - Afterwards sign in with the username and password you set.
According to the DD-WRT wiki, older versions used root / admin, and some early versions did not ask for a username. Our database also lists a D-Link DIR-600A1 running DD-WRT at 192.168.0.1 with the password admin.
Web and SSH usernames
The web interface username can be changed, but the DD-WRT wiki says the Telnet/SSH login stays root. If you cannot get in after changing the username, reset the router and change only the password.
When you cannot log in
- The LAN address was changed. Check your default gateway.
- Forgotten password. Reset DD-WRT to its defaults with the Reset button; the password change page then appears again.
