People usually get confused between a router login and a wireless login, they are two different logins.

Router = Configuration
Wireless = Network login

Windows:

Code:
Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig

Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

Linux:

Open the terminal and type:

Code:
route -n

To log in:

Open up your web browser, (Internet explorer, Firefox, Chrome etc) and put that IP address in your address bar: http://192.168.1.1

You should see your routers log in page or a login box will pop up.

Some default log in info:

admin
*blank

admin
password

admin
admin


Once you've logged in you can change the wireless password, the SSID name, port forward etc.

Usually the Username and Password should be on the back of your router. http://www.routerpasswords.com/ has a huge list of Router makes and username/password combinations. After logging into your router it is recommended too change your password.
