It needs default credentials (username and password) to log in which are usually found on a tag on the bottom of the router or modem, on the company's website, in the user manual, or right below:
1&1
Username: admin

The gateway allows users to access their router's admin settings using a browser (such as Microsoft Edge, Yandex, Google Chrome, or Safari) to quickly set up the router, configure network settings, see the status(including wireless downstream and upstream), and more.
Since it is a private IP, it cannot be accessed from the internet; meaning that devices connected to the same network can communicate with it, but no one outside the network can access it directly.

However, finding them is not as complicated as opening Command Prompt (for Windows) and typing 'ipconfig/all' to pick up the working gateway.

How Do You Log In to Your Router's Admin Page (192.168.1.1)?
Once you have the correct IP address, all you need to log in is an internet browser (such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome) and your router's default username and password, which are usually one of the following: (1) admin - admin, (2) admin - blank, (3) admin - password, or (4) admin - 123456789.

How Do You Recover the Router Username and Password (If You Forgot Them)?
Provided that you have forgotten the default username and password, do not worry—it is usually easy to find by checking the label on your router or consulting the user manual.
On the other hand, in case you have changed the default login credentials and forgotten them, the available solutions are limited and more complicated, as there is no 'Forgot my password/username' option, which is in place to ensure your security.
Check the default username and password on a sticker/tag at the bottom of the router only if you do not remember the default credentials and have not changed them before.
Provided that you have changed it and do not remember, check whether Google Password Manager has saved it:
1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Tap ⋮ (three-dots) on the top right.
3. Select Settings > Google Password Manager on the phone/tablet and Passwords and AutoFill > Google Password Manager on the computer.
4. Search for a password for http://192.168.1.1.

NOTE: This will reset all your settings to factory defaults, and you will need to configure your router as if you are setting it up for the first time.
