MiWiFi Login – miwifi.com: As the name is already quite suggestive, miwifi.com is that one place where you can perform all sorts of configurations related to your WiFi router. It makes use of your router’s IP address (default gateway) and gives you the config interface. Most of the routers have 192.168.1.1 as the default IP and so miwifi uses the same to send a request to your router. Once the router responds, you get the default admin panel that is necessary to set up the router or modem.
In case you are not sure about your router’s IP address then you can do the following:
- Open Command Prompt on your Windows-based laptop/desktop.
- Type ping 192.168.1.1
- In case you get a message like this – Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64 then this means 192.168.1.1 is your gateway.
Alternatively, you can also do this:
- Open Command Prompt.
- Type ipconfig.
- You will see something like – Default Gateway written somewhere.
- The IP mentioned under that tag is your router’s IP.
This is all that you can do with the router’s admin interface:
- You can configure everything related to your WiFi or wireless connection.
- All routers have a default admin login. You can get it changed using the maintenance tab.
- Websites and devices can be blocked with ease.
- Internet scheduling is yet another cool feature that you can do with the help of this admin panel.
