How to log in to 172.16.0.1
- Connect to the router. Join its Wi-Fi network or plug a computer into one of its LAN ports. Mobile data will not work.
- Open the admin page. Type
http://172.16.0.1into the browser’s address bar (not the search box) and press Enter. - Accept the certificate warning if one appears. Routers use self-signed certificates, so “Not secure” on this page is normal inside your own network.
- Enter the username and password. Look at the sticker on the bottom of the router first: many models print a unique password there. The most common factory pair for this address is
public/public; the full list is in the tables below. - Change the default password in the administration or system section as soon as you are in.

Default credentials work only until someone changes them. If none of these pairs fits, the password was changed; a factory reset restores the default.

172.16.0.1 and the 172.16.0.0/12 range
172.16.0.1 is the first address of 172.16.0.0/12, the middle one of the three private ranges defined in RFC 1918. The range runs from 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255. Home routers rarely use it; it is more typical of office networks, hotel and campus Wi-Fi, and of routers that a network administrator configured by hand.
Where else you may see 172.x addresses
- Docker creates a virtual network on computers where it is installed, with the gateway at 172.17.0.1. This is a software network inside the computer, not your router.
- VPN and corporate networks often use parts of 172.16.0.0/12. If your home network uses the same addresses, some sites behind the VPN become unreachable.
When 172.16.0.1 does not open
- It is not your gateway. In 172.x networks the router may be at any address. Check your default gateway.
- You are on a managed network. In offices, hotels and universities the admin page is closed to visitors; ask the network administrator.
