Most of the router set up page can be obtained via 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.10.1.

Router Page Login

At first try to open the router set up page on any of your browser. Now fill your default username & password in the set up page.

If you don’t know the default username & password then check your router manual guide or you can search your Wi-Fi router default username & password in google.

Access security Page

After login in you will see a webpage displaying information regarding your Wi-Fi network. Click on the security option as shown in the image below.

Change MAC Filter Setting!
