A few typical steps are required when logging into your Netlink Router, almost the same for all models and types made by Netlink.

Let’s discuss them one by one so you can access your router’s admin portal to make any changes.

Requirements to access Netlink Router Admin Portal:

Before you can log in to the Netlink Router admin portal, your device, which you will use to access the admin portal, must be connected to the wifi connection being broadcasted by the router.

You DO NOT need an active internet connection to access the portal.

You can use any of the following devices to access the portal:

1. Smartphone
2. Laptop
3. PC
4. Tablet

You will also need a browser. Any default browser will work. Once inside your browser, you need the following three items to access your Netlink Router admin portal.

Access the Admin Portal of Netlink:

Here are four easy steps to log in to your admin portal:

Step 1: Connect to the Netlink Router’s Wi-Fi Network

Connect your device to the Wi-Fi network being broadcasted by the Netlink router. Connecting your device to the router’s Wi-Fi network establishes a direct communication link between your device and the router.

This enables you to access the router’s admin portal and make necessary configuration changes. If you are not connected, you won’t be able to get access to the admin portal.

You can also use an Ethernet Cable to connect to your Netlink Router, but that may need some configuration, and most devices nowadays do not have Ethernet ports.

If you are setting up a new Netlink router or connecting with it after resetting it, you can access its Wi-Fi Name and Password on the back of the router. In some cases, the router will broadcast a generic name that might not need a wifi password for you to connect with.

The Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password are required to authenticate and connect your device securely to the router’s network.

Step 2: Open a Web Browser on the device you have connected with Netlink Router

Open any web browser on the device that is connected to the Netlink router’s Wi-Fi network. Web browsers provide a user-friendly interface for accessing websites and web-based applications.

Opening a web browser allows you to access the Netlink router’s admin portal, which is typically accessed through a web-based interface.

You DO NOT need an active internet connection to access the Netlink Portal.

Launch the web browser application. It is the primary tool you will use to access and navigate the Netlink Router Admin Portal. It’s more like a way to access the database established inside the router.

Step 3: Access the Netlink Router’s Portal with its IP Address

Type the Netlink router’s IP address in your web browser’s URL bar. The IP address uniquely identifies the Netlink router on the network.

By typing the router’s IP address in the URL bar, you specify the destination for your web browser to establish a connection. This connection enables you to access the admin portal hosted by the router.

The IP Address is 192.168.1.1.

Try 192.168.0.1 if this does not work. Routers are typically assigned a default IP address that allows users to access their admin portals.

Step 4: Enter the Router’s Username and Admin Password

Once you have an established connection between your device and router, now you will be presented with a window with the following dialogue box.

You will need to enter the default password and username to get into the admin portal.

The admin password is a security measure implemented to prevent unauthorized access to the router’s settings.

1. The username is “admin”. Make sure it’s all lowercase letters.
2. Enter the password, which is stdONU101. Password is also case-sensitive. If this does not work, make sure to check the back of the router for the password.
3. Enter the verification code, which is written in the brown box right above the login button.

You will be asked to change your password when you log in for the first time. Keep a simple new password that is easy to remember.

Login again after you have changed your password.

If this password does not work, reset your Netlink router by following the steps in the next heading, as someone else might have changed it.

By entering the correct admin password, you authenticate yourself as an authorized user with administrative privileges. This step ensures that only authorized individuals can make changes to the router’s configuration.

How to Reset Netlink Router?

Step 1: Locate the Reset Button on your Netlink Router

Find the reset button on your Netlink router. It is usually a small, recessed button on the back or bottom of the device. The button may be labeled as “Reset” or represented by a small hole.

Step 2: Prepare for Reset

With the Netlink router powered on, press and hold down the reset button with a paperclip or a similar pointed object. Hold it for about 10-15 seconds.

Step 3: Power Cycle the Router

While holding down the reset button, unplug the power cable from the router. Keep the reset button pressed for 10-15 seconds while the router is unplugged.

Step 4: Access Default Settings

Once the Netlink router has finished resetting, it will return to its default factory settings.

You can now access the router’s admin portal using the default login credentials provided by the manufacturer.

It’s important to note that performing a router reset will erase all customized settings, including Wi-Fi passwords, port forwarding configurations, and any other changes you made to the router’s settings.

These default credentials are typically printed on the router itself or included in the router’s documentation. For Netlink, it is; Username: admin, and the password is stdONU101.

After the reset, you’ll need to reconfigure the router according to your preferences.
