Your Asus router has a reset button in case you need to do a Hard reset. So, all you need to do is press the reset button on your Asus router for 5 seconds and wait for it to reset.

When the Hard reset is done, you will now be able to access the Asus router admin panel with default username and password.

 

  1. Login to admin panel

In the next part, you have to follow the below steps to access the admin panel:

 

  • Open a browser on your phone or laptop whichever device you are using. The device must be connected to your Asus wireless router.
  • Go to the URL bar in your browser and enter the IP address of your router. If you are wondering ‘How do I find the IP address of my Asus router?’, you can just use the default Asus IP address 192.168.1.1 in the URL bar and press enter.

  • Now enter the new password in the password field. Make sure you choose a strong alphanumeric password for better wireless network security. Click ‘save’ to add the new password.

The process will take a few minutes to install the update. Your router may restart while installing the router updates so patiently wait for the process to finish.
