FiOS Router Login – How to Access Verizon Router Login?

Setting up a Wi-Fi network at home has become a very easy task with the help of wireless routers. It helps us to enjoy the internet without worrying about mobile data costs or usage limitations. 

Among all the router brands, Verizon provides a wide range of routers for better internet security and browsing experience. And, setting up a Verizon router is very easy and straightforward. For the most part, all routers follow the same setup process. Thus, you have to start with the Verizon router login page to configure your router.

Quick Setup Guide for Verizon Router 

For the initial setup, there are certain factors that you need to consider for the best experience. The first thing that you need to do is to unbox the contents of the Verizon Router. Here, you will find the router with its adapter, user guide and an installation CD. 

Next, you have to decide on the location for placing the router. Make sure that it is placed in such an area from where it can cover the whole house. Generally, setting up the router in a central location is preferred to cover ‘Dead zones’. 

After that, you have to connect the Ethernet cable to its respective port. Accordingly, plug in the adapter as well and turn the device on. The lights will blink for a while before becoming steady. Make sure that the ‘internet’ indicator is blinking rapidly. This ensures that there is a working internet connection. 

Steps to Login to Verizon Router

Now, you need to access the Verizon router’s login page to manage the internet and router settings. For this, you need to follow the steps provided below. 

  1. First, you need to note down the router’s SSID and password from the user guide. It is also printed at the back of the device itself. You’ll need this information to connect to your router through your laptop or desktop. 
  2. After connecting to the router, open any web browser. Next, click on the address bar and type ‘192.168.1.1’. Subsequently, press the Enter key on your keyboard. This will open the router’s login page. 
  3. Here, enter the default login credentials to access the router’s settings page. Ordinarily, the default username is ‘admin’ and password can be ‘1234’, ‘admin’ or simply nothing at all. You can easily get this info in the user guide or from the back of the router. 

Once you’ve logged into the Verizon router, you will be able to manage its settings to properly set it up. Do not forget to change the default login credentials to prevent others from changing your router’s settings. 

How to Configure Verizon Router?

After logging in, you will see various options for changing the router’s settings. Head over to Wireless Settings to change your network’s SSID and password. This will be used to connect to the router for an active internet connection. 

Accordingly, go to the ‘My Network’ tab to set up the actual internet connection. Here, you’ll have to choose the connection type as provided to you by your Internet Service Provider. Thereafter, enter the details correctly to start your internet connection. 

You can also manage other settings such as Firewall protection and Parental Control. A firewall will help you to filter the internet traffic to protect you from hackers and crackers. Thus, it can prevent unauthorized users from accessing your device and stealing your information. 

Accordingly, Parental Controls will help you to filter the internet itself. With this, you can restrict access to certain websites or even restrict devices from connecting to the network. Along with this, you will be able to monitor your children’s online activity as well. 

How to Change or Reset Verizon Router Login Password?

As stated earlier, it is important to change your router’s password to prevent unauthorized usage of your internet connection. To do this, go through the steps given below. 

  1. Open a browser and enter ‘192.168.1.1’ in the address bar. Subsequently, press Enter to access the router’s main page. 
  2. Next, enter the login credentials to access the main settings page. Thereafter, click on ‘Change Admin password’ located in the lower-left menu pane. 
  3. You will be redirected to a new page where you’ll have to enter a new password. Make sure that you choose a strong password that is easy to remember. Re-enter the password and save your changes. 

Now, you can use this new password to access the login page every time you log in.  

However, there may be some instances when you forget your password. In such cases, you have to reset your router and reconfigure it from the beginning. Therefore, you have to follow the steps below to do so. 

  1. Every router has a special ‘reset’ button on the device. Usually, this button is located at the back of the router. You can refer to the user guide or search for your model online. 
  2. Next, take a thin object like a needle, safety pin or something equally small. Use it to press and hold this reset button for about 10 seconds. You’ll notice the lights blink for a few seconds before turning off and on again. 
  3. Now, access a browser and log in to the router using the default login credentials. After that, you have to configure your router all over again. 

Note – You can also use the ‘My Fios app’ to access your Verizon router login page. It is available for both iOS and Android. However, it only works for Fios Quantum Gateway and Verizon Fios Advanced Router.

In some cases, you can change the settings through the ‘My Verizon’ account. It is free to create through the official website of Verizon. You just have to link the router to your account and you’re good to go.
