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 Synology router
- Connect to the router with an Ethernet cable or through its Wi-Fi.
- Open
router.synology.comin the browser. If the name does not load, Synology suggests the IP address directly: 192.168.1.1, orhttp://192.168.1.1:8000. - Sign in to SRM (Synology Router Manager) with the administrator account created during setup.
There is no factory password
A new Synology router opens a setup wizard that asks you to create the administrator account. Synology rejects common usernames such as admin to protect against password-guessing attacks and also advises against root and administrator. So the login is whatever was chosen at setup.
When 192.168.1.1 is not the address
Synology notes that if the router detects a subnet conflict, for example because the modem in front of it also uses 192.168.1.x, it moves to another address such as 10.0.4.1. Check your default gateway to see where the router is now. Models in our database (RT1900ac, RT2600ac, MR2200ac) start at 192.168.1.1.
Forgot the password: soft reset first
- Soft reset: hold the RESET button with a paper clip for about 4 seconds. Only the administrator login is reset; then open router.synology.com from a computer connected by cable and set a new account.
- Hard reset: hold RESET for about 10 seconds. All system settings are wiped and SRM is reinstalled, so you set up the network from scratch.
According to Synology, data on storage attached to the router stays intact after either reset.
