What is the default username and password for my Linksys router?

Asked 2 years ago
The default username and password for Linksys routers can vary depending on the specific model. However, many Linksys devices use a standard set of credentials. For most models, the default username is typically left blank, while the default password is often set to "admin". Users are encouraged to verify these details by inspecting the "Quick Installation Guide" or the "User Guide" that came with their device, as the documentation usually includes the most accurate information. In cases where the default credentials do not work, it is possible that the settings have been changed. If you are unable to access the router with the default login, you may need to perform a factory reset. This is usually accomplished by locating the reset button on the device, holding it for several seconds until the lights blink, and then releasing it. After the factory reset, the router will revert to its original settings, including the default username and password. For further information or if you require assistance specific to your router model, visiting linksys.com can provide additional guidance and resources.
