If the Linksys (Cisco) E1000 Default Username or Password Doesn’t Work
The default username and password mentioned above is valid for the Linksys E1000 only if these credentials haven’t been changed. If they don’t work, it means that the default username or password was changed (probably to something more secure). There’s an easy way to reset your Linksys E1000 router back to its default settings, which will restore the default username and password, too. When the default E1000 settings are restored, network and wireless settings are removed. To restore these settings, manually configure the network name, the network password, and any custom routing. To avoid having to fill in all the custom router settings again if you ever have to reset the router in the future, back up all the router settings to a file. Go to Administration > Management, then select Backup Configurations. To restore the backup file, select Restore Configurations.
What to Do If You Can’t Access the Linksys E1000 Address
The default IP address for the Linksys E1000 router is 192.168.1.1. This is needed to access the router. If it doesn’t work, it may have been changed at some point through the router settings. If the devices connected to your E1000 router are working just fine, but you don’t know the IP address used by the router, find it in Windows by seeing which IP address is configured as the default gateway.
