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

192.168.178.1 is the FRITZ!Box address
192.168.178.1 is the default address of FRITZ!Box routers made by AVM, which are especially common in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. The unusual third number makes clashes with other routers unlikely; devices on a FRITZ!Box get addresses like 192.168.178.20.
Instead of the address you can type http://fritz.box. It opens the same user interface as long as you are connected to the FRITZ!Box.
Logging in to a FRITZ!Box
A FRITZ!Box does not use a generic pair such as admin / admin. The factory password is unique and printed on the label on the bottom of the device, marked “FRITZ!Box password”. By default only the password is asked; a username appears once you create additional users.
If the password was changed and nobody remembers it, use “Forgot password?” on the login page: it explains how to reset the box to factory settings, after which the label password works again.
Problems typical for 192.168.178.1
- fritz.box opens a search page. Your device is not using the FRITZ!Box for DNS, for example because of a VPN or a manually set DNS server. Use the IP address.
- A FRITZ!Repeater is in the network. Repeaters have their own pages; if you reach a repeater by mistake, open fritz.box again from a device connected to the main box.
- The box runs as an IP client behind another router. In that mode it gets a different address from the main router. Check your gateway and look up the FRITZ!Box in the main router’s device list.
