“—” means there is no factory value: the field is left empty or a unique password is printed on the router’s label.
Default credentials work only until someone changes them. If none of these pairs fits, the password was changed; a factory reset restores the default.

How to log in to a Linksys router
- Connect to the router by Wi-Fi or with a cable to one of its LAN ports.
- Open
http://myrouter.localor the IP address 192.168.1.1. Both lead to the same page. - Enter the router password. The factory password is
admin. Most Linksys pages ask only for the password; older models with a username field acceptadminthere or leave it empty. - Replace the default password in Connectivity › Basic (Router Password) right away.
Web page, Linksys app and Velop
- Smart Wi-Fi routers (EA series) have a full web interface at myrouter.local. A “Click here” or local access link on the cloud sign-in page leads to the same local login.
- Velop mesh systems are set up in the Linksys app. The web page of the main node is still available at its IP address for advanced settings.
- The Linksys app account is not the router password. The app can work with the account alone, but the web page always asks for the router password.
- Cisco-branded Linksys routers. From 2003 to 2013 Linksys belonged to Cisco, and many routers of that time say “Linksys by Cisco” (E series). They log in exactly like other Linksys routers.
myrouter.local does not open
The name works only from a device connected to the Linksys router, and some older phones and computers do not resolve .local names at all. Use 192.168.1.1 instead. If that fails too, the router may have a different address (for example after it was placed behind another router): find the “default gateway” in your device’s network details and open that address.
Forgot the password: factory reset
With the router on, press and hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds, watching the power light. When it starts blinking, release the button. The router restarts with the password admin and the Wi-Fi name from its label; all settings are cleared.
