Each gadget connected to the web should indubitably have an IP address. 192.168.1.1 (192.168.l.l) is a private (restrictive) address which is used internally. Such a numerical label is applied by worldwide known manufacturers, such as TP-Link (China), NETGEAR, Linksys (US). It is set by default at the factory, but can be changed at any moment by the device holder.

All settings will come back to factory ones, and you will be able to use ordinary user data to log in (seek for this information on your device’s surface).
