iBall Baton Router Login: 192.168.1.1 and Password
Log in to iBall Baton at 192.168.1.1 with admin and admin.
Connect to your iBall Baton router first by WiFi or cable. iBall Baton routers are common in India.
iBall Baton routers and ADSL modems, popular in India, open their settings at 192.168.1.1.
The default login is admin and admin. Here is how to log in, change WiFi and reset.
The fastest way in: tap the login button in the box at the top of this page, then sign in with the details on your router label.
How to log in to your iBall Baton router
- Connect your phone or computer to the router WiFi, or plug in an Ethernet cable.
- Open a browser and type http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
- Enter the username and password from the table below or the router label.
- Once logged in, change the admin password and use WPA2 or WPA3 for WiFi.
If the page does not open, check your Default Gateway with our Router IP Finder. ISP builds sometimes use a different address.
The 192.168.1.1 address is the one I try first on any iBall that will not open.
iBall Baton default IP, username and password
| Model or type | Login address | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| iBall Baton routers | 192.168.1.1 | admin | admin |
| iBall Baton ADSL modems | 192.168.1.1 | admin | admin |
| After setup | 192.168.1.1 | admin | Your own password |
If admin fails, reset the router. The admin-and-admin default is the one I mention first for any older iBall.
How to change the WiFi password on a iBall Baton router
- Log in at 192.168.1.1.
- Open Wireless, Security.
- Set WPA2-PSK and a new key.
- Save and reconnect devices.
Use Quick Setup to change name and password together. Need a strong key? Try our WiFi Password Generator. For me, Quick Setup is the quickest way to change WiFi on an iBall.
iBall Baton login problems and fixes
- 192.168.1.1 will not load: make sure you are on the router WiFi, not mobile data or a VPN, and type http:// in front.
- Wrong password: check the label first. If you or your ISP changed it, the defaults will not work.
- Page loads but login fails: clear the browser cache or try a private window. Some routers lock you out for a few minutes after several attempts.
- Router from your ISP: the provider may manage it. Their app or support line can reset the admin password.
- Still locked out: a factory reset restores the label login, but erases your settings.
A label check is where I start whenever an iBall login will not work.
How to reset a iBall Baton router
- Keep the router powered on.
- Press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds, until the lights flash.
- Release and wait 2 to 3 minutes.
- Log in with the default details and set up WiFi again.
Note your ISP login before resetting. The 10-second hold is the timing I trust before I reach for a reset on an iBall.
Older iBall routers and what to expect
iBall Baton routers were very popular in India in the 2010s, especially the 150 and 300 Mbps models sold with broadband connections. Many are still running in homes and small shops today. I see the old 150 and 300 models most often in homes still running ADSL.
They work fine for light browsing, but they’re WiFi 4 (802.11n) and haven’t had firmware updates for years. That means slower speeds on modern plans and no fixes for newer security problems. If your iBall is your main router on a fibre plan of 100 Mbps or more, a modern WiFi 5 or WiFi 6 router will feel much faster.
Make an old iBall router safer
- Change the admin password from admin/admin under System Tools or Management.
- Set WiFi security to WPA2-PSK with AES. Avoid WEP or WPA-TKIP.
- Use a WiFi password of at least 12 characters.
- Turn off WPS and remote management.
- Check the connected devices list for anything you don’t recognise.
The WPA2-PSK step is the one I never skip on any old iBall I touch.
Using an iBall router as an access point
When you upgrade, the old iBall doesn’t have to go in the bin. My first stop is access point mode whenever an old router needs a second life.
Set it up as an access point to add WiFi in a far room: give it an unused LAN IP like 192.168.1.2, turn off DHCP, set the same WiFi name and password as your new router, and connect it by cable to a LAN port on the main router.
