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 Zyxel router
- Connect to the router by Wi-Fi or with a cable to a LAN port.
- Open 192.168.1.1 in the browser. This is the default address of almost every Zyxel router, modem-router and mobile router.
- Sign in. The username is
admin; the password is either1234or the one printed on the label (see below). - Change the password when the router asks — many models require it after the first login with 1234.
1234 or the label password?
admin/1234is the factory login in Zyxel’s user guides for home routers (NBG series), mobile routers (LTE and WAH series) and many other devices.- A unique password on the label is used by many newer units, especially DSL and fiber gateways supplied by providers (VMG, EX, PX series). Look for “Password” or “Admin password” on the sticker.
- The username cannot be changed on most models — only the password.
Zyxel Keenetic
Routers sold as “Zyxel Keenetic” belong to the Keenetic line, which has been a separate brand since 2017 and has its own login (my.keenetic.net). See our Keenetic login guide.
192.168.1.1 does not open
- Make sure the device is connected to the Zyxel router. If you use Wi-Fi from a different router in the same home, the Zyxel page is not reachable from there.
- Some Zyxel modems used as a bridge, or units configured by a provider, use another address. The “default gateway” in your device’s network details shows it.
- Turn off any VPN and try a private browser window.
Forgot the password: factory reset
With the router on, press and hold the RESET button with a paper clip until the power light starts blinking (about 10 seconds), then release it. The password returns to 1234 or to the one on the label. On a provider’s gateway, the reset also removes the internet connection settings — keep the provider’s details at hand.
