Verizon Fios Router Login: myfiosgateway.com Guide
Log in to a Verizon Fios router at myfiosgateway.com or 192.168.1.1. Admin password location, My Fios app, WiFi changes and reset.
I have been locked out of my Verizon Fios login page, and the cause is often small. People type the wrong address, or they try a password that was never set.
myfiosgateway.com is the page that opens your Verizon Fios router settings. When it will not open, the fix is often small. This guide walks you through opening it and signing in. Verizon calls this page the Admin WebGUI: it is where the router’s settings live.
Open myfiosgateway.com in your browser and sign in with the username and password on your router label.
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 Verizon Fios router
In my experience, this is the part that trips most people up.
- Connect your phone or computer to the Verizon Fios WiFi network, or plug in a network cable.
- Open a browser and go to http://myfiosgateway.com or http://192.168.1.1.
- Enter the admin username and password. The defaults are below and on the router label.
- Change the default admin password from the administration or system menu.
Verizon Fios default IP address, username and password
I have seen this done wrong more than once, so I keep it simple here.
| Model or type | Login address | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verizon Fios routers (G3100, CR1000A and others) | myfiosgateway.com / 192.168.1.1 | admin | Admin password on label |
| Older Fios routers (Actiontec) | 192.168.1.1 | admin | On label or password |
Defaults differ by model and firmware. If these do not work, check the label on your router or reset it.
Log in with the My Fios app
I check this before I change anything else.
The My Fios app lets you change the WiFi name and password, see who is connected, set up a guest network and restart the router, all signed in with your Verizon account. The app is now called the Verizon Home app.
Verizon Fios router login not working?
I treat this as a quick check, not a deep setting.
1. Check your connection
Your device must be connected to the router’s WiFi or plugged in with a cable. Turn off mobile data on phones, because the router page cannot be reached over a cellular connection.
2. Type the address correctly
Type http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar, not the search box. Use only numbers and dots. Do not add www or .com. Our IP Address Checker fixes common typos.
3. Confirm the router IP
Your router may use a different address. Use the Router IP Finder to read the exact Default Gateway from your device.
4. Try another browser or a private window
Clear the browser cache or open a private window. Some browsers force HTTPS, so type http:// at the start.
5. Restart the router
Unplug the router for 30 seconds, plug it back in, wait two minutes and try again.
6. Turn off VPN or proxy apps
A VPN sends your traffic to another network, so your local router cannot be reached until you disconnect it.
How to change your Verizon Fios WiFi name and password
I would rather confirm it now than fix it later.
- Log in at http://myfiosgateway.com with the admin username and password.
- Open Wireless, WiFi or WLAN settings. On dual-band routers, edit both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks.
- Change the SSID to set a new WiFi name.
- Choose WPA2-PSK (AES) or WPA3 security and enter a new password. Our WiFi Password Generator creates a strong one.
- Click Save or Apply, then reconnect your devices with the new password.
How to reset a Verizon Fios router
I always start with the router page for this.
Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the router with a pin for about 10 seconds, until the light changes, then release it. Log in again with the admin password from the label.
Note: a factory reset erases your WiFi name, password and other settings. Keep any internet provider login details ready before you reset.
Verizon router models you might have
In my experience, this is the part that trips most people up.
Verizon Fios has used a handful of routers. They all open at 192.168.1.1 or mynetworksettings.com:
- Fios Router (CR1000A / CR1000B): current WiFi 6 and 6E models.
- Fios Quantum Gateway (G3100): very common, WiFi 6.
- Fios Quantum Gateway (G1100): older model, still widely used.
- Verizon 5G Home and LTE Home routers: managed through the My Fios app or their own addresses.
The admin password is printed on the label, usually near the WiFi details. Don’t confuse the two: the admin password logs you in to the settings page, the WiFi password joins the network.
Using your own router with Fios
I have seen this done wrong more than once, so I keep it simple here.
Fios internet works with most routers. On many plans the ONT connects to the Verizon router with Ethernet, so you can unplug the Verizon router and connect your own instead.
You may need to release the IP address on the Verizon router first, or wait a while for the old lease to expire.
If you have Fios TV with set-top boxes, keep in mind they rely on the Verizon router for guide data and on-demand content. In that case, people usually keep the Verizon router and add their own behind it, or set up the Verizon router as a MoCA bridge.
Settings worth checking on a Fios router
I check this before I change anything else.
- Change the admin password from the label default.
- Turn off WPS.
- Turn on automatic firmware updates, which Verizon usually handles for you.
- Split bands into separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks if an older device struggles.
