Nokia Router Login: Router Admin Setup Guide
Log in to Nokia at 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.18.1 with the label password. Beacon and fiber ONT tips.
Connect to your Nokia router first by WiFi or cable. Nokia Beacon mesh is managed in the Nokia WiFi app.
Nokia fiber gateways and Beacon mesh systems are supplied by many providers. Fiber ONTs like the G-140W and G-240W-F open at 192.168.1.254, while others like the G-240W-E and Beacon units use 192.168.18.1. Some also open at webgui.nokiawifi.com.
Logins vary by model and ISP, and the label is the most reliable source. 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 Nokia router
- Connect your phone or computer to the router WiFi, or plug in an Ethernet cable.
- Open a browser and type http://192.168.1.254 in the address bar. Other models: http://192.168.18.1 or webgui.nokiawifi.com.
- 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 192.168.1.254 address is the one I try first on any Nokia that will not open.
Nokia default IP, username and password
| Model or type | Login address | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| G-140W-C, G-240W-F | 192.168.1.254 | userAdmin or label | On the label |
| G-240W-E, A-020W-A | 192.168.18.1 | admin or label | On the label |
| Nokia Beacon 1, 2, 3, 6 | webgui.nokiawifi.com or 192.168.18.1 | admin | On the label |
| E-140W-P | 192.168.1.1 | admin | On the label |
Many ISPs keep a separate super admin account. The user account still lets you change WiFi. The super-admin detail is the account fact I check first on any ISP-supplied Nokia.
How to change the WiFi password on a Nokia router
- Log in, or open the Nokia WiFi app for Beacon systems.
- Open Network, Wireless or Wi-Fi settings.
- Change the SSID and password.
- Save and reconnect devices.
Beacons sync the change across the mesh. Need a strong key? Try our WiFi Password Generator. For me, the Beacon-sync detail is the one I mention first when a password change spreads.
Nokia login problems and fixes
- 192.168.1.254 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.
The label is my first stop whenever a Nokia login will not work.
How to reset a Nokia 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.
Fiber ONTs may need your ISP to restore the connection after a reset. The 10-second hold is the timing I trust before I reach for a reset on a Nokia.
Nokia gateways, Beacons and fibre ONTs
Nokia doesn’t sell many routers directly to homes. Instead, its equipment comes from your internet provider:
- Fibre ONT gateways (like the G-240W series) used by many fibre providers.
- Nokia WiFi Beacons, mesh units managed through the Nokia WiFi app.
- 5G gateways for fixed wireless internet services.
Login addresses vary by provider, commonly 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.18.1, and the label shows the user and password. The two-address detail is the one I point at first when the login address looks wrong.
Using the Nokia WiFi app
- Install the Nokia WiFi app.
- Sign in or create an account, then scan the QR code on your Beacon or gateway.
- Change the WiFi name and password in the network settings.
- Add more Beacons for whole-home coverage.
- Use device controls to pause or prioritise devices.
My first stop is the Nokia WiFi app whenever a Beacon will not show up.
Two login accounts
Many Nokia ONTs have a basic user account (like userAdmin) and a separate admin account kept by your provider. The user account covers WiFi and some network settings. If you need something more, like bridge mode, ask your provider.
The userAdmin-versus-admin split is the detail I explain first on any Nokia ONT.
