• Internet Explorer Will Not Open

I'm able to access internet but when I type 192.168.1.1 in the browser address bar, I'm unable to get router access, the page just won't open and I'm not even reaching password screen whereas earlier I used to access for this same router.

What could be the reason? What should I try?

Restart Internet Explorer. NOTE: Try to open Internet Explorer again. If you are able to open Internet Explorer, then, the problem was caused by a malware BHO. Disabling third-party browser extensions is just a workaround and does not eliminate the root of the problem.

1. Make sure you're using the right IP. Use ipconfig or a similar command to find out your Gateway address, and use that IP to access your router's page.

2. Make sure you're connected directly. Some routers can be configured to not allow administration over Wi-Fi, or any other link not directly connected to the router. So, make sure your connection is via a cable run directly from your computer to the router with nothing else in between. Also, disable Wi-Fi on your computer to ensure that your machine is actually using the hard-line connection to reach the router.

3. Make sure you can reach the router. Use ping to verify connectivity to the IP address, and tracert to confirm there's nothing between you and the router.

4. Make sure you're using the right protocol. Some routers can be configured to only permit administration over HTTPS, and may not have an appropriate HTTP->HTTPS redirect in place. So, if http://router-ip/ doesn't work, try https://router-ip/. Amd gpu temperature.

5. Try a different browser. Some routers don't play nice with all browsers or browser extensions. The most universally-compatible is usually IE.

6. RTFM Just to make sure you didn't miss something obvious, or maybe something not-so-obvious which is specific to your router model.

7. Factory Reset If all else fails, just push the little red button and hold it for about 30 seconds. Bear in mind that this will of course erase any custom configuration you've done to the router, including administrator passwords and IP ranges.

There are few reasons causing the router page to NOT to open in the browser. Since your internet is working that means there are no issues of connectivity between PC and router.

If IP address of Network card are configured to obtain automatically, Change it to fill the IP address manually. For example if the router IP is 192.168.1.1, Fill the IP address of PC's LAN as 192.168.1.x and similarly if the router IP is 192.168.0.1, fill-in the IP as 192.168.0.x.Now fill the default gateway as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.

If above method fails, try connect router directly to your PC/Laptop with a ethernet cable. And now try to open the router page.

Turn off firewall.

I hope one of the above steps works or you can follow this link [Fixed]Unable to Open 192.168.1.1 Router Configuration Web Page for detailed instructions.

For me the issue was that I have enabled https:// only access for the router, so it needed also the correct port number.Try the following for Asus routers:

See this article:Don’t enable HTTPS login on the ASUS RT-N66U (& how to fix it if you have)

This was my problem too and all of these useful solutions didn't help me.. but I casually found that you have to remove all of devices connected to router, then you connect to router by one device only (by cable or any other ways).. and problem was solved.Hope be useful for you!
