1. Check your router's sticker for login information. Your router's sticker is usually found on the back or bottom of the unit. In most cases, the login username and password are "admin" and "password", but your router may have slightly different login credentials; if so, you'll find them on the sticker.

2. Open a web browser. Click or double-click your preferred browser's app icon.

3. Go to your router's page. Type the router's address into the address bar at the top of the browser window, then press ↵ Enter.

4. Enter "admin" in the "User Name" text field. Click the "User Name" or "Username" text box, then type in admin.

• If your router's sticker has a different username listed, use that username instead.
