192.168.1.2 is a private IP address and is often used as a router IP or default gateway on many routers.
So, for example, if the router's settings need to be adjusted, this IP address can get you access to the administrative console and make the necessary changes.
You won't need an internet connection to do this, but make sure that the device in question (macOS, WINDOWS, or Android) is connected to the LAN router.
This section will shed light on how to reach the router login page, and what to do if there are accessibility issues.

Once the router is connected to your device, and you need to use the 192.168.1.2 IP address to reach the admin panel.
The router IP can be found on the back of the unit, or its box. But if it's not there, follow these steps to find it:
- Open Command Prompt from the Start Menu
- Enter ipconfig
- Now, look for the section that says Local Area Connection

- Make sure you are entering the right URL, for instance, www.192.168.1.2 and not www /192.168.1.2
- The browser will show the router login page
- The user name may be admin or root, and the password could be admin or 1234
- If these don't work, do a quick Google search to find the default login info for your router
Now you can:
- Change the username and password for the admin panel and Wi-Fi connection
