can't login to Asus router

Have you tried 192.168.1.1?

I have tried several suggested ip addresses but none work.....yet the router itself is working but I can't login to change settings.

Most Asus routers default to 192.168.50.1.

Also tries restarting it, either by switch or pulling the plug for a few seconds?

Look at the default gateway in network settings to see the router's IP address.

If the gateway is your Hitron modem then it sounds as though the DHCP was disabled on the Asus router and it's simply a Wireless access point.

You would need to see what the IP address of the Asus router is, this can be found by checking the list of connected devices through the Hitron webpage that you were accessing via 192.168.0.1.

That'd be my suggestion as a place to start if you've not been successful yet.

What are you using to log into the Asus?

If you have a laptop, try connecting via ethernet. Disconnect all cables from the Asus except for the cable to your laptop

If you are using an iPad or cell phone and cannot use a cable, after you reset the router, you should scan for WiFi and look for Asus and connect to that with no password

is your router being used for routing?

lets check

goto run menu or search for "cmd" in windows 10. Thats the commandline menu

In the command line menu Type "ipconfig" and hit enter

find your gateway ip.

Take that gateway ip and put it in the web adress bar and hit enter. If it takes you to the asus thats the ip address. If it takes you to the modem router instead your running your asus as a wireless app and the modem router is handling the dhcp.

So go into your modem router and find your asus's ip address from within its connected list to find your asus.

If you still can't find it another method is write down the mac adress of the asus and keep it next to you.

After you ran ipconfig and hit menu and found the gateway in cmd. Try this command

arp -a

now you should see a list of all ip's and mac address's with each ip on your local network. Match the mac address and ip with the asus router. Take that ip and use it in the adressbar to log into the asus router.

Try http://router.asus.com/

Make sure that the router is only connected to your PC with a network cable,

The default login for an Asus RT-AC3100 is:
http://router.asus.com
or you can type in:
192.168.1.1

Default username:
admin
Default password:

No idea who told you to use 30-30-30 procedure, since that is only applicable to really old routers using dd-wrt firmware.

For factory hard reset,

1. Turn the router off.
2. Press and hold the "WPS" button and turn the router on.
3. Power light is on (keep holding the WPS button).
4. Release the WPS button after the power LED light starts flashing.
5. Power light stops flashing and the router will automatically reboot.

assuming someone had switched wires... if you are using a desktop connected by ethernet cable... start at the computer and follow the ethernet... does it connect the the hitron or the asus router?

if the ethernet is connected to hitron modem, then you can't access the router this way and it will can only connect to 192.168.0.1 (hitron default)... the pc needs to connect directly to the router to access the page (router.asus.com)...

hope this helps.

thanks to everyone.....finally logged in with my phone.....however ,still can't login with my desktop pc....tried all of the above....tracing wires, resets, different browsers....nothing seems to work except the Asus app on the cell, but at least I configured the router and now have password locked wifi.....I still think its something to do with windows 10 ??

can you still access the internet from your windows 10? is your windows 10 ip address in the same subnet? are you using wireless or wired connection for your desktop? If wireless, check your wireless setting on your router whether you setup a guest network that only allow internet access but no lan access. there will be situation that router just failed to assign ip address for a device while the rest has no problem. Turning off and on for couple second tends to fixed the issue for me.

check your Windows 10 Defender Firewall to see if it blocked the ASUS router.

It kinda sounds like you have it set up on a separate subnet from your local lan network.

Just go into the router to its lan settings and look how its setup and write down the lan ip/gateway ip configuration of your asus. That will shed some light.

It sounds like your router is set up as an access point. When I did this a long time ago, for some reason, as soon as I turn disable DHCP on the router I could not access the log in page again. Only after I did a full reset (reset the router back to it's default settings) was I able to access the router's log in page. I don't understand why though. Maybe it's something similar to your set up.

But at least you can still access the router from your phone.

If you are trying to login to the default IP for the Asus (192.168.0.1), it implies that you never changed it from the default. That means you have 2 duplicate IP's on your LAN. The Hitron and the Asus seem to both have the same addresses. Now that you have logged in successfully with your phone, can you confirm that you used 192.168.0.1 to access the Asus?

How is the Asus connected to the Hitron.? Is a LAN port of the Hitron connected to a LAN port on the Asus, or is it connected to the WAN port on the Asus. I don't think that has been made clear in any of your previous posts.

If you connected LAN to LAN ports, did you disable DHCP on the Asus?

thanks again to everyone.....I know this will sound like B.S. but just before supper the pc offered a windows update....I figured while we eat I'll let it update. However it took about an hour and a half to update ,but at the end of it I can now login to the router which I haven't been able to for months!! . I just hope this continues. I did nothing different so go figure.
