? Quick Router Specifications at a Glance

? Part 1: How to Log In to Your Router

This is your command center. Every setting, every connected device, every security option lives behind this login screen.

Step-by-Step Login

1. Connect to your router's network — either via WiFi or plug an Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports.
2. Open your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari — any will work).
3. Type one of these into the address bar:
   • http://router.asus.com (recommended)
   • http://192.168.1.1
   • http://192.168.50.1 (if you changed the subnet)
4. You'll see the ASUS login page. Enter:
   • Username: admin
   • Password: admin
5. Click Sign In.

Can't Access the Login Page? Try These Fixes

• Make sure your device is connected to the router's network, not mobile data.
• Clear your browser cache or try incognito/private mode.
• Try a different browser.
• If you changed the IP before and forgot it, open Command Prompt (Windows) and type ipconfig ? look for Default Gateway.
• As a last resort, factory reset: press and hold the small Reset button on the back of the router for 10 seconds until the power LED flashes. This wipes all settings.

? Part 2: How to Change Your Router Admin Password

Your admin password protects the router's settings. Your WiFi password protects your wireless network. You should change both.

Change the Admin (Login) Password

1. Log in to router.asus.com.
2. Go to Administration ? System tab (left sidebar).
3. Scroll down to "Change Router Password".
4. Enter your current password.
5. Type your new password (use at least 12 characters, mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols).
6. Confirm the new password.
7. Click Apply. You'll be logged out and must sign in again with the new password.

Change Your WiFi Password (Wireless Network Key)

1. Log in to the router.
2. Navigate to Wireless ? General tab.
3. You'll see three bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz.
4. For each band:
   • Find the field labeled "WPA Pre-Shared Key" or "Network Key".
   • Delete the old password and type your new one.
   • Make sure Authentication Method is set to WPA3-Personal (or WPA2/WPA3 mixed for older device compatibility).
5. Click Apply.

Set Up a Guest Network (Bonus Security Layer)

1. Go to Guest Network in the sidebar.
2. Click Enable.
3. Set a separate WiFi name (SSID) and password for guests.
4. Choose an access time limit (e.g., 8 hours).
5. Keep "Access Intranet" set to Disable so guests can't see your private devices.
6. Click Apply.

? Part 3: See Who Is Connected to Your Network

This is where you take full control. You can see every phone, laptop, smart TV, console, and IoT device pulling data through your router.

Method 1: Network Map (Quickest View)

1. Log in to the router.
2. Click Network Map on the main dashboard.
3. You'll see a visual map showing:
   • Your router at the center.
   • Every connected device listed by name, IP address, and MAC address.
   • Connection type (WiFi 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz or wired Ethernet).
4. Click on any device icon to see detailed info: hostname, IP, MAC, connection speed, and band.

Method 2: Client List (Detailed Table View)

1. Go to Network Map ? click the "Clients" icon (or the number showing connected devices).
2. A full list appears with columns:
   • Device Name
   • IP Address
   • MAC Address
   • Connection Type (Wireless / Wired)
   • Band / Frequency
3. Spot something you don't recognize? Click on it, then hit "Block" or add it to the MAC Filter blacklist.

Method 3: ASUS Router App (Mobile Monitoring)
