I have been locked out of 192.168.50.1 myself, and the cause is often small. People type the wrong address, or they try a password that was never set.

How to log in to 192.168.50.1
In my experience, this is the part that trips most people up.
- Connect your phone or computer to the router’s WiFi, or plug in a network cable.
- Open a browser and type http://192.168.50.1 in the address bar, then press Enter.

Default username and password for 192.168.50.1
I have seen this done wrong more than once, so I keep it simple here.
| Device | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|
| Recent ASUS routers | admin (or chosen) | Created during setup |
| Older ASUS routers | admin | admin |
| ASUS ZenWiFi mesh | admin (or chosen) | Created during setup |
Recent ASUS firmware asks you to create a new login during setup instead of using admin/admin. If you skipped setup, the router may still accept admin/admin.
Which routers use 192.168.50.1?
I check this before I change anything else.
- ASUS RT-AX series (RT-AX55, RT-AX58U, RT-AX86U and others)
- ASUS RT-BE WiFi 7 routers
- ASUS ROG Rapture gaming routers
- ASUS ZenWiFi and other AiMesh systems

192.168.50.1 or router.asus.com?
I treat this as a quick check, not a deep setting.
Both open the ASUSWRT web interface. router.asus.com only works while you are connected to the ASUS router. If neither loads, check the Default Gateway on your device with our Router IP Finder.
Manage with the ASUS Router app
I would rather confirm it now than fix it later.
The ASUS Router app for Android and iOS covers setup, AiMesh nodes, parental controls and firmware updates. It is a handy alternative to the web interface on a phone.
192.168.50.1 not working? Try these fixes
I always start with the router page for this.
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://192.168.50.1 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 WiFi name and password
In my experience, this is the part that trips most people up.
- Log in at http://192.168.50.1 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 the router to factory settings
I have seen this done wrong more than once, so I keep it simple here.
If you forgot the admin password, a factory reset brings back the default login.
Find the small Reset hole on the back of the router, press it with a pin for about 10 seconds while the router is on, and release it when the lights blink. After it restarts, log in at http://192.168.50.1 with the default details.
Note: a reset erases your WiFi name, password, port forwarding and any internet provider settings. Keep your provider login details handy before you reset.
