Issues with Verizon Router Login (Troubleshooting)
1. 192.168.1.1 or myfiosgateway.com Won’t Load
Fixes:
- Check connection: You must be on the Fios network. Disconnect from mobile data or VPNs.
- Try the other address: If 192.168.1.1 fails, try 192.168.0.1 (for 5G gateways) or myfiosgateway.com.
- Use https://: Type https://192.168.1.1 manually—some browsers block http links.
- Check IP via command prompt: Run
ipconfig(Windows) orroute -n get default(Mac) to see the actual “Default Gateway” IP.

2. Admin Password Not Working
Fixes:
- It’s NOT your WiFi password: The admin password is different. Check the router label specifically for “Administrator Password”, “Access Key”, or “System Password”.
- Case-sensitive: Enter it exactly as printed (watch for capital letters).
- Try defaults: On very old units, try
admin/adminoradmin/password.
3. “Your Connection is Not Private” Error
Fix:
- This is normal for local router pages. Click Advanced → Proceed to 192.168.1.1 (unsafe) to continue.
Factory Reset (If You Forgot Admin Password)
If the password on the sticker doesn’t work, someone changed it. Reset the router to restore the default password printed on the label.
- Locate the Reset button on the back (red or recessed pinhole).
- Press and hold it for 10–15 seconds while the router is powered on.
- Release when the lights on the front flash or turn off.
- Wait 3–5 minutes for it to reboot.
- Log in using the password on the sticker.
