To enter the settings of some Wi-Fi routers, access points, repeaters, mini-routers (for example, Pix-Link), ADSL modems, GPON MGTS routers, the IP address 192.168.1.254 is used. This is the local IP address of the router or other network device that allows you to open the web interface and access the settings to change the password and other parameters. Most often, the address http://192.168.1.254 has to be used to configure the router from the MGTS provider. Sercomm RV6699 model and others. At the same time, the standard username and password admin / admin is used to enter your personal account. But not on all devices.
In addition to MGTS routers, this address is also set as "Default IP Address" (by default) on some devices from TP-Link, Netis, Cisco, Thomson, etc. This is a non-standard IP address, since to enter the settings of most popular routers use the following IP addresses: 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.254. Or addresses we are used to like tplinkwifi.net, netis.cc, etc.
Make sure that the address 192.168.1.254 is used specifically on your router (modem, repeater). In most cases, the IP address for entering the settings is indicated on the device itself (on a sticker where other information is also applied), or in the instructions. There should also be information about the factory user name (User Name) and password (Password). This information is also useful to us.

How do I go to http://192.168.1.254?
- You need to connect your computer or mobile device to the router, to the settings of which you want to learn access. You can connect using a network cable, or via Wi-Fi. If, for example, we are talking from a router from MGTS, then just connect the network cable on the router to the LAN port, and on the computer or laptop to the network card.
The device must be connected to the router, otherwise you will not be able to enter the settings. - Next, you need to launch any browser (preferably one that you rarely use, in which there are no extensions, various garbage, etc.), enter (or copy) the address in the address bar http://192.168.1.254 and press Enter.
