Edimax Router Login: Why You Need To Know How To Do It?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Generally, most people don\u2019t bother to learn how to login to their router<\/a> or customize their network. They use the default network name, the default WiFi password and default admin login details. The truth is that this is a significant security risk because leaving the WiFi network open, or leaving it with the default login details can easily make your WiFi network vulnerable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you haven\u2019t done this before and you want to make your WiFi network a bit more secure, or you simply want a cool network name, you are at the right place. You can do that pretty easily when you login to your Edimax router.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
On top of everything, you can also create a Guest network or limit the time your kids spend on the internet using Parental controls, and there is much more to do. And all of that can be done from the router admin dashboard, but you need to login to your router first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Edimax Router Login [A Step-By-Step Guide]<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSTEP 1: Make Sure To Connect To Your Network<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
This step is essential if you want the router login to be successful. Practically, if the device you are using to login to your Edimax router isn’t connected to the network<\/a> where the Edimax router is, you won\u2019t be able to access its admin dashboard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTherefore, before you begin, make sure that you connect to the network either using the WiFi connection, or connect your device to the network using an Ethernet cable connected to the router.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
STEP 2: Type The Edimax Router IP In Your Browser\u2019s URL Bar<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We use a web browser to access the router admin dashboard, so launch the one installed on your device.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nType http:\/\/edimax.setup<\/a> in the browser\u2019s URL bar and hit the Enter button or tap on GO depending on the device you are using to login.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou can also use 192.168.2.1<\/a> or 192.168.2.2<\/a> or simply find your Edimax router default gateway by following this guide<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSTEP 3: Enter the Edimax Login Details<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Now you will be asked to enter a username and a password in the required fields.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Edimax uses admin<\/strong> as a username, and 1234<\/strong> as a password.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPlease note that these are the default login details and if you have changed them before you will need to use the custom ones. If you have forgotten these custom details you will be able to login with the default ones after you reset the router to factory settings.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEnter the username and password and click OK.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
STEP 4: You Have Logged in Successfully<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If everything is correct you will see the Status screen<\/strong>. Now you can modify your Edimax router settings. Just take a look at the menu on the left and find what you want to modify.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nEdimax Router Basic Security Tweaks<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Now when you have logged into your Edimax router, let\u2019s secure it a bit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Change the WiFi Name and Password on Edimax Router<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you want to change the network name and password you will have to do it for both the 2.4 and 5GHz wireless<\/a> networks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"2.4](\"https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2.4-and-5GHz-networks.jpg\" "\\"2.4")
<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThese changes can be made under the 2.4GHz Wireless<\/a><\/strong> and 5GHz Wireless<\/strong> sections in the left-hand menu. When you click either of them a submenu will expand and you need to click on BASIC<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf your router uses a different web interface these settings can be found under Wireless<\/strong>, and then Security Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe network name can be changed in the Wireless Network Name<\/strong> field.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n![\"Change](\"https:\/\/routerctrl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/change-Edimax-network-name.jpg\" "\\"Change")

<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nClick Apply<\/strong> to save the changes. And then APPLY<\/strong> again to restart the router. When it boots up again the settings will be saved.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nChange The Edimax Admin Router Password<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We have already mentioned the default Edimax router password 1234<\/strong>. You have to admit that it\u2019s pretty weak, so it is recommended to change it as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhen you login to your router, go to Administrator,<\/strong> and then on Password.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTo change the admin password you will have to enter the old one in the Current password<\/strong> field, and then enter the new password in the New Password<\/strong> and Confirm Password<\/strong> fields.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nClick on Apply <\/strong>to save the changes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMost probably you will get logged out so you can try to login to your Edimax router with the username and the new password.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Final Words<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Now when you know the Edimax router login steps, take your time and change the default login details and WiFi name and password<\/a>. It is always better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAlso, don\u2019t be afraid to check the Guest network settings page, or backup your current settings which is recommended before you make any changes to the router.
