myrouter.local Login - 192.168.1.1

myrouter.local: Just like the router IP address (default gateway), myrouter.local is the gateway address that can be used to login to all Linksys routers’ admin setup panel. Setting up a router is a very vital step in case you are connecting it to your network for the very first time. myrouter.local Login deals with everything that is related to the normal functioning of the router machine.

Here are the things that you can do with the admin setup page:

You can set up different types of wireless connections like 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (depending on your network channel).
You can limit the number of users that are connected to your network.
Wireless passwords can be set and removed from this setup page.
Devices can be blocked using the block MAC address for the network option.
Custom DNS modes can be set via the same admin panel. This comes in handy in case your server requests are not responding or are getting lost.
You can also use your Linksys router as a wireless repeater (or physical repeater) in case you wish to extend your connection.

Alternatively, you can also use your local IP address in order to access the same portal. Just go to your:

Command prompt > type ipconfig > hit Enter.

The local IP will be under the default gateway and after that, you need to paste it into the address bar of your web browser. Just like most of the routers/modems, Linksys also has 192.168.1.1 as the default IP. So you can either use 192.168.1.1 or you can use http://myrouter.local in order to access the router setup.
