Router Admin Password In the era of digital connectivity, securing your home or office network is paramount One of the first lines of defense

[dragon-in-a-fez]

genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital

[poipoipoi-2016]

Apropos of nothing

If you are the techiest person in the house (and for many of you, this is not techy at all), today is a good day to build a pihole thanks to Google's new TLDs.

For the record, this straight up stopped Dad from getting computer viruses when coupled with the Ublock browser extension, so I will volunteer my time to get you set up. We will find an evening and do a Zoom call. I am serious.

Prerequisities:

Before you start, this will be way way easier if your router has a magic way to:

Set static IP addresses

Set a custom DNS server

If you can't do this, I'm not saying you're stuck, but there's some non-obvious failure modes and maybe it's time to buy a better router.

Parts:

Raspberry Pi 4B. 2GB if you just want to set and forget, 8GB if you want to do more things on this than just your pihole (Coughs in a MarioKart box) -> https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/

Spare USB-C charger if you don't have one already. I'm a fan of https://www.amazon.com/Argon-USB-C-Power-Supply-Switch/dp/B0919CQKQ8/ myself

A microSD card at least UHS class 3 or better. 32 is fine for just a pihole, I have a 512 in some of mine that I use for more stuff. https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/raspberry-pi-microsd-cards

Some method of flashing the card if you don't have one (Some come with SD to micro-SD adapters, if not a USB to SD/micro-SD adapter is about $10 off Amazon)

If you really feel like going nuts, go buy yourself an Argon case and then very very carefully never ever install the software for the fan that does nothing. The value is entirely in having a big giant brick that is self-cooling. If you want to play MarioKart, I would consider this a requirement. https://www.amazon.com/Argon-Raspberry-Aluminum-Heatsink-Supports/dp/B07WP8WC3V

Setup:

Do yourself a favor and ignore all the signs telling you to go get Raspbian and instead go grab an ISO of Ubuntu 64-bit using RPi Imager. Because Raspbian cannot be upgraded across version WHY U DO THIS

Download Rpi Imager, plug the microSD card into your computer,

Other General Purpose OS -> Ubuntu -> Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

So now you have an operating system on an SD card.

Assemble the case if you bought one, plug in the SD card, power supply, ethernet cable if you have one or mouse and (mini) HDMI cable if you don't. If you bought that Argon case, you can just plug a keyboard (server OS means no mouse gang; In this house, we use the Command Line) and HDMI cable into the Pi. Turn it on.

Gaining access

The end state of this is that your pi is:

Connected to the internet by cable or wifi

You can SSH to it (Also not scary)

If you plugged in an ethernet cable, once it's done booting (1-2 minutes?), you should be able to ssh to "ubuntu@<the IP of the system>". Look it up in your router. It may make sense to give the static IP NOW to keep it stable.

If you've never used SSH before, I think the standard is Putty on Window or you can just open a terminal in Mac. (And if you know enough Linux to have a Linux computer, why are you reading this?)

If you didn't plug it in, and need to setup the wifi, there's magic incantations to attach it to the wifi and to be quite blunt, I forget what they are.

Your username is ubuntu, your password is ubuntu and then it will ask you to make a new password. If you know the meaning of the phrase "keypair-based access", it may make sense to run `ssh-copy-id` at this point in time.

Router settings (part 1)

Give your new Pi a static IP address, and reboot your pi (as simple as typing in `sudo reboot`).

Open a new SSH session to the pihole on the new address.

Installing pihole

Open up an SSH session and

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

This is interactive. Answer the questions

When it's done, on your other computer, navigate to <the ip>/admin

Login with the password you just set. Router settings part 2

Give your new Pi a static IP address then point your router at that address

Set the DNS servers to the static IP

Then ensure you're blocking something. Anything.

Then do what you want to do. You'll probably need to whitelist some sites, blacklist some more, but the main thing is going to be "Adding more list of bad sites". Reddit has some lists.

And... enjoy.

/But seriously, there's some stuff to do for maintenance and things. I wasn't joking about the pair setup.

How to Log In to Your Motorola Router?

To perform a Motorola router login, you'll typically need the router's IP address (often 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and the default username and password, which are usually 'admin' and 'Motorola' respectively. Access the router's settings via a web browser to manage your network. To learn more, find detailed login instructions on our site.

anyone here have experience with hitron routers? I'm trying to log into the admin panel but it's not taking any passwords. I tried the default wifi password and the MAC address after a factory reset

Deep Dive into Wi-Fi Hacking: How Ethical Hackers Secure Your Wireless Networks

With our hyper-connected world, Wi-Fi is the unseen lifeline keeping us online today. From streaming your favorite shows to managing your smart home devices, Wi-Fi is everywhere. But have you ever stopped to think about just how secure your wireless network really is? What if someone could sneak into your network, steal your data, or even hijack your devices? Scary, right? That’s where ethical hackers come in—the unsung heroes of the digital age who use their skills to protect, not exploit. If you’ve ever been curious about how they do it, or if you’re considering a cybersecurity and ethical hacking course, this blog is for you.

The Dark Side of Wi-Fi: Why It’s a Hacker’s Playground

Well, face it: Wi-Fi networks are a goldmine for cybercriminals. Why? Because they are usually the easiest weakness in our digital defense. It has weak passwords, outdated encryption, and misconfigured routers. That's not to mention stealing your Netflix login. Hackers can use it as an open gateway to access more of your digital life.

Here's your scenario: You're having your favorite coffee at a quaint little café while making use of their free Wi-Fi. Well, a hacker within some tables from you is running Aircrack-ng or Wireshark for quite a bit on your data that's going by. Before you realize it, they have gotten your login credentials, credit card information, or even obtained access to your corporate emails. How scary does that sound?

Enter Ethical Hackers: The Good Guys of Wi-Fi Security

That is when the ethical hackers come in. Cybersecurity professionals use the same hacking tools and techniques as evil hackers, with one difference though: they work for you. Their job is to find a hole before a hacker does so that they may fix it before hackers can gain entry into your network.

How do they go about it? Let's dissect this:

Reconnaissance: Ethical hackers first gather information about the target network. They use tools such as Kismet or NetStumbler to identify the network's SSID, encryption type, and connected devices.

Exploitation: Once they have identified potential weaknesses, they try to exploit them. For example, if the network uses outdated WEP encryption (which is notoriously weak), they might use tools like Aircrack-ng to crack the password.

Post-Exploitation: Having obtained access, the ethical hacker calculates the potential damage that can be done. Could they have accessed sensitive files? Could they have launched a man-in-the-middle attack? This step will give them a sense of real-world impact from the vulnerability.

Reporting and Patching: They finally document their findings and collaborate with the owner of the network to fix the issues. It may involve updating firmware, changing passwords, or enabling stronger encryption like WPA3.

Why You Should Care About Wi-Fi Security

You may be thinking: "I am an average user, so why would somebody even bother with me?" The thing is, hackers don't discriminate. Whether you are just an individual, a small business owner, or part of a large corporation, your Wi-Fi network is a potential target. And with the emergence of IoT devices, such as smart thermostats, security cameras, and voice assistants, the risk is much bigger than ever.

Here's the good news: You don't need to be a tech genius to protect yourself. By learning the basics of Wi-Fi security or even enrolling in a cybersecurity and ethical hacking course, you can take control of your digital safety.

How to Secure Your Wi-Fi Network: Tips from the Pros

Want to make your Wi-Fi network hacker-proof? Here are some practical tips inspired by ethical hackers:

Use Strong Passwords: Avoid using common passwords, such as "admin" or "password123." Instead, use long complex phrase with letters, numbers, and symbols.

Enable WPA3 Encryption: The latest Wi-Fi encryption protocol is WPA3; if your router supports it, switch to WPA3.

Update Your Router's Firmware: Manufacturers in their official websites may have coming updates that address security vulnerabilities. Check and update the firmware on your router to a newer edition.

WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup is convenient but highly insecure. Just turn it off to minimize brute-force attacks.

Check Connected Devices: You would be surprised to know which device is connected to your network if you don't check it periodically. If something looks suspicious, investigate immediately.

Ready to Be a Wi-Fi Warrior?

If this deep dive into Wi-Fi hacking has piqued your interest, why not take it further? A cybersecurity and ethical hacking course can teach you the skills you need to protect yourself—and maybe even turn your passion for tech into a rewarding career. Imagine being the person who uncovers vulnerabilities, thwarts cyberattacks, and keeps the digital world safe. Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

Ethical hacking is not the art of hacking into systems, but understanding how they work so that such knowledge can be applied to strengthen their defenses. In a world that is ever changing with threats through cyber, it has never been a better time to learn.

Final Thoughts

It sounds like something out of a spy movie, but the truth is that Wi-Fi hacking is an everyday threat in your life. The good news is that with the right information and tools you can protect yourself and your loved ones from becoming cybercrime victims. However, whether you are a tech enthusiast or a complete beginner, a course in cybersecurity and ethical hacking will empower you to take the lead in digital security.

Remember the next time you connect to a Wi-Fi network: those invisible waves keeping you online can be the doors for hackers. Stay informed and vigilant, and maybe you will end up being that ethical hacker who saves the day.

So, stay safe and happy ethical hacking!

hello nina, I'm a different anon and I bring more adblocking knowledge. you mentioned your phone; do you have an Android? if so, I have GREAT news for you: you can just go to your private DNS mode settings and type in "dns. adguard-dns. com" (remove the spaces) and it'll block most ads on your phone, including apps (not just browsers)! it doesn't work for everything - YouTube for example is notoriously difficult - but it works for most things in my experience. you can actually set this up on most devices, including tablets and computers, and even your router if you have access to the settings (username and password are usually either on it or just admin and admin). if you want more info on this, google Adguard private DNS and they themselves have deeper explanations and tutorials. Furthermore, for YouTube specifically, there are a few options, and i recommend looking it up on reddit if you want to read about all of them. however, I personally use and recommend revanced, which you can find instructions for on r/revancedapp; with it, you'll end up with YouTube but better, because you'll get more options for settings, as well as adblocking and even sponsor blocking (as in, it'll automatically skip sponsor sections in videos), while still being able to log in to your account and get your regular sub box and playlists and stuff. lastly, please use Firefox as your mobile browser, bc it's just better and also you can install ublock origin on it. have a nice, ad-free day!

i have an iphone and this message was eye opening regarding how much i cannot do in it. i really don't think i can even access the whole dns shebang (i'm not even sure what that means to be honest. can you tell i'm not tech savy at all?) and the revanced app isn't available here either. and dude, i'd kill for that sponsor blocking. i have it on my laptop, that and no ads are the sole reasons why i spend so much time on youtube

i did just download firefox for my phone though. i've been using safari mostly because it's fine for me, and the icon is pretty (dumbest reason, i know). now i'm off to do a LOT of googling because i don't even know how to install extensions there

update after a quick google search: firefox extensions are not available on ios i see how it is!!!

[girlfriendsofthegalaxy]

this should be illegal imo. i want unlimited data AND to use MY router i know is secure and not pay for the privilege/pay xfinity TWICE the rent of whatever piece of shit unconfigurable default admin password router they deign to give me

[kaiasky]

im trying to think of how you can tie this into like the medical mystery like. idk you've got a patient who's dying and Wilson confronts house like

(wilson pucker. he nods almost desperately, like he wishes someone had taught him how to exhale) fine. how did you do it.

house: do what?

wilson: since when do you even play minecraft. you used dark prismarine for your eyes. did you... farm an ocean monument for that?

house: 2000 blocks away. (he dangles a sticky note with a dramatic flourish. bitingly sarcastic:) i wrote down the coordinates. want em?

wilson: (stunned silence and stammering. eventually he takes the sticky note silently)

[over wilson's shoulder shot, looking down at the coordinates on the note, as though we the viewer cannot meet house's eyes]

house: you left LAN open so you could afk overnight. I just figured I'd.. stop in.

wilson: you can't, i mean, it's a LAN world, it should be private--

house: it's only a lan world if you're stupid--it just broadcasts "I'm playing minecraft, wanna join" every few seconds. reminds me of a man I once knew, actually. But other than that, it's just a normal server, port 25565.

wilson: --which should be closed--

house: oh, but with your router's make and model, a chechnyan hacker, and a couple of weeks...

wilson: (almost flattered, too impressed to be angry) really?

house: (a pause, as he fixes wilson with an 'are you really that stupid' stare. indicating the sticky note:) nah.

[wilson turns over the sticky note so it's right-side up. Router's default admin account username and password are written in wilson's handwriting]

wilson: (deflating) you know, if you'd just said yes when I invited you...

[house has turned around and stormed off purposefully]

house: I don't play games for babies. gotta go, someone's dying.

[house busts into the whiteboard room, startling chase, and writes 25565 on the whiteboard]

Setup Guide For GL iNet GL SFT1200 Travel Router

Looking for a travel router or a router that suits small apartments and businesses? If yes then you must surely check Opal from GL iNet. Also known as GL SFT1200. It is a mini router that fits seamlessly into your travel bag so you can work remotely, enjoy wifi access on the go. The GL iNet GL SFT1200 setup configuration is crucial for making the best possible use of the device. The setup is quick, simple and is done using a web browser. Therefore in this guide you'll get access to the same. 

Feature Set

Before proceeding with the GL iNet GL SFT1200 setup steps, first let's learn  about its features. 

The Opal runs on dual frequency bands. The 2.4 GHz band provides broader coverage and speeds of upto 300 Mbps. Whereas on 5Ghz band you can grab the high speeds of upto 867 Mbps. Further you get outstanding security due to VPN. For connecting your devices straight to the Opal, you get access to not one or two but three Gigabit ethernet ports. The best part about the GL iNet GL SFT1200 setup is that you can access the internet in multiple ways. You can use it as a repeater, connect it to the modem, access it in AP mode and more. Simultaneously, you get to connect a maximum of 52 devices to the Opal. Moreover with Web UI 3.0 you can use your files securely and remotely. 

GL iNet GL SFT1200 Setup Steps

The setup steps are simple, straightforward and consume a very little time. So let's begin:

✓ Start By Unboxing 

First unbox your package contents. Inside the package you receive:

GL SFT1200 router (Opal).

A power adapter with a converter. 

An Ethernet cable

A quick user guide alongside warranty and thankyou card. 

Apart from the above written components, the requirements for the setup are only two. One is a smart device of your choice and second is a vacant power outlet. Additionally, we recommend you to give a quick reading to the user guide. This step will make the GL iNet GL SFT1200 setup smoother.

✓ Turn On The Opal

It's time to activate the Opal. For this you need the power adapter. But first open the antennas to 180° from both sides. Now slip in the power pin of your power cable into the Opal’s back panel. And secure the adaptor into an electrical socket. Turn on. Let the Opal stabilize. 

✓ Connect

In this GL iNet GL SFT1200 setup step, you require a smart device. So fetch it. Connect it to the Opal bh choosing any two options as are written below.

Turn on wifi. From the available list pick GL-SFT1200-XXX.  Use goodlife as a password. The password needs to be written in lower letter case only. Last tap on Connect. 

The second option is using ethernet cable. Connect the cable that is moving from your smart device to the port which is marked as LAN on Opal. 

✓ Using Web Browser For Setup

Finally as you connect your device to the SFT1200 open an internet browser. For smooth access to GL iNet GL SFT1200 setup page, take some notes. First choose a browser that is compatible. We would tell you to use internet explorer, chrome, safari, edge or firefox. Next clean up browser caches and cookies. Also update the browser if you see any pending updates. 

Now take access to the browser's address field. In it enter 192.168.8.1. Push enter. A window opens up. It asks you to choose the language, therefore do so and tap Next. Curate an admin password. Keep it unique and strong. For this, combine letters, special characters as well as numbers. Once done, hit Submit. 

Finally you now get to complete the GL iNet GL SFT1200 setup, by connecting to the Internet. So select the Internet option, pick a connection type which is suitable to you and give in the asked details. As the Opal has access to the Internet, the front panel LED will pop up a solid white light. Thus indicating a complete setup. 

Factory Resetting Opal

Left the above written steps midway due to any reasons? If yes then no issues as you can reset the router and perform them from the scratch so that the outcome is successful. To reset the Opal, first power it up with the help of the supplied adapter. Remember one thing as you turn on your Opal do not immediately move to the reset button, rather let the router start up properly. Next, when the router is undergoing the process of resetting, you can not perform any other activity on the router as this may damage the hardware. So after the router boots up, press the reset button which is nearby to the mode switch button. Do not release it until the light on the front panel starts flickering. As you release it, the reset completes. So now you can re-perform the GL iNet GL SFT1200 setup.

Now you have to secure the wireless network by creating an SSID & password for your extender network. Also make changes in the admin account user details. This step is important to keep your existing network secure.

Update Firmware

Afterwards, you need to look for the firmware version. In case the firmware is outdated then you should install the latest version. For installation you can opt for an online update option and follow the prompts. You can update the firmware manually also by downloading it from the official portal of netgear. 

Finalize Setup

Finalize the setup by choosing the submit button once you made all the important changes in the network. Review the changes you made to verify every step. Note down the extender security details you have created and keep them secure. Submit the changes and then you can step further to reposition the device.

Reposition The Extender

Repositioning the extender is a very important step to optimize the network performance. Unplug the extender from the proxy position. Search for a midway position (from the router and the area where the dead spot was). Then plug it in again to the power at the new position. Wait for the device to boot up and monitor the router LED on your extender device. If it’s green then the position is perfect. On the contrary if it turns amber or red then relocate it.

Test New Network

Lastly, test the new network using a wireless handset. Using the new SSID & password connect the device with the extender network and browse, stream or play online to check speed.

Conclusion

Lastly, I would like to rest my words by saying that the 192.168.1.250 Netgear Setup process is a super easy task. By following the above mentioned step by step breakdown of the extender setup process, anyone can configure the extender easily without a tech expert. Setting up an extender device will boost your existing network signal strength and terminate the dead spots from your home or office area.

Quick and Easy Guide to Setting Up Linksyssmartwifi

Learn how to set up your Linksys smart WiFi network in no time at all with this simple instruction manual. Whether you want to setup your new Linksys router or are struggling with your existing router and want to reset it, we’ll explain it all from scratch in basic step-by-step procedure.

Before You Start the Setup

Before diving into the configuration, make sure you have all these components ready:

A working modem connected to the internet

A Linksys smart Wi-Fi router (plugged in)

An ethernet cable

A device (PC, smartphone or tablet)

Before initiating with the further setup, connect your device to the Linksys router either via Wi-Fi or through ethernet cable.

Setup of Linksyssmartwifi: Step by Step process

Step 1: Hardware Connection

Power on your modem. Wait for it to fully boot up.

Plug one end of the ethernet cable into the modem and the other with the Linksys router’s Internet (WAN) port.

Power source the router. Wait until the LED light becomes stable (depends on model — it might be solid white or blue).

Connect your system to the router’s default Wi-Fi (SSID and password is mentioned on the router’s label.

Step 2: Linksys Router Login Page

Once connected, open a browser and either enter the URL: linksyssmartwifi.com

Đây là tình trạng thiết bị (laptop, điện thoại) không thể kết nối WiFi do router hoặc hệ thống mạng chặn, thường kèm thông báo như "Incorrect password" hoặc "Access denied".

Nguyên nhân WiFi từ chối quyền truy cập

Lỗi này có thể xuất phát từ:

Lỗi thiết bị kết nối: Sai mật khẩu, card WiFi tắt, lỗi phần mềm, hoặc không hỗ trợ chuẩn mã hóa.

Lỗi bộ phát WiFi: Router quá tải, cấu hình DHCP sai, hoặc firmware lỗi thời.

Chặn địa chỉ MAC: Router giới hạn thiết bị theo địa chỉ MAC.

Xung đột IP: Hai thiết bị dùng chung IP hoặc IP bị giới hạn.

Cấu hình DNS sai: DNS không phản hồi hoặc proxy/VPN lỗi.

Virus/phần mềm độc hại: Can thiệp cài đặt mạng, chặn kết nối.

Cách khắc phục

Dưới đây là các bước khắc phục lỗi WiFi từ chối quyền truy cập:

1. Khởi động lại thiết bị và router

Tắt thiết bị và router trong 30 giây, bật lại, đợi 2-3 phút rồi thử kết nối.

Nếu vẫn lỗi, nhấn nút Reset trên router 10-15 giây, sau đó cấu hình lại WiFi.

7. Xóa cache mạng

Android: Vào Cài đặt > Ứng dụng > WiFi, xóa cache/dữ liệu.

iPhone: Vào Cài đặt > Cài đặt chung > Đặt lại cài đặt mạng.

Windows: Chạy Command Prompt (Admin), nhập lệnh: netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, ipconfig /flushdns.

Lưu ý

Thử kết nối với mạng khác để xác định lỗi từ thiết bị hay router.
