192.168.1.245 Admin Login

The IP address 192.168.1.245 is primarily used as the default gateway by Cisco, Linksys, and AirTight Networks on a range of their wireless access point models. Unlike the more widely known 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, this address is specifically tied to enterprise-grade and small-business wireless access points rather than standard home routers. It belongs to the Class C private IPv4 address space, making it exclusively usable within local area networks (LANs) and never routable over the public internet. If your device uses 192.168.1.245 as its default gateway, you are most likely working with a Cisco WAP-series access point, a Linksys WAP-series device, or an AirTight Networks monitoring appliance. Other commonly used private gateway addresses in the same subnet include 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.10.1.

How to Access 192.168.1.245

To reach the admin panel of your Cisco, Linksys, or AirTight Networks device, open any web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari — and type http://192.168.1.245 directly into the address bar, then press Enter. Do not type it into a search engine, as that will return search results rather than your device's login page. You should be presented with a login prompt asking for a username and password.

The default credentials vary depending on your specific device brand and model:

• Cisco WAP131, WAP551, WAP561, WAP581: Username: cisco / Password: cisco
• Cisco WAP200, WAP2000, WAP200E, WAP4410N: Username: admin / Password: admin
• Linksys WAP4400N, WAP54GPE, WAP54GX: Username: admin / Password: admin
• Linksys WAP54G (v1.1, v2, v3.0, v3.1): Username: (leave blank) / Password: admin
• AirTight Networks C-75, C-75-E, SS-200-AT: Username: config / Password: config

Once logged in, you will have full access to your device's configuration dashboard, where you can manage wireless settings, security options, SSID names, channel configurations, firmware updates, and more. Because 192.168.1.245 is a private IP address within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, only devices connected to the same local network can reach this admin panel — it is not accessible from the internet.

If You Can't Access 192.168.1.245

If entering http://192.168.1.245 in your browser does not load the login page, there are several possible causes and fixes to try:

• Wrong default gateway: Your device may not actually use 192.168.1.245 as its gateway. On Windows, open Command Prompt (Start > type cmd > Enter) and run ipconfig /all. Look for the Default Gateway field under your active network adapter. On macOS or Linux, run netstat -nr | grep default in Terminal. If the gateway shown is different, use that address instead.
• Not connected to the correct network: Make sure your computer or device is connected to the same network as the Cisco, Linksys, or AirTight access point that uses 192.168.1.245. If you are on a different subnet or VLAN, you will not be able to reach it.
• IP address has been changed: A previous administrator may have changed the default IP from 192.168.1.245 to something else. In this case, you will need to perform a factory reset to restore the original address.
• Browser or cache issue: Try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser. Also ensure you are typing http:// and not https://, as many access points do not support HTTPS on the admin panel by default.
• Firewall or security software: Temporarily disable any firewall or VPN software that may be blocking local network access.

How to Reset Your Device at 192.168.1.245 to Factory Defaults

If you have forgotten your login credentials or can no longer access the admin panel at 192.168.1.245, performing a factory reset is the most reliable solution. The exact procedure varies slightly by brand and model, but the general process is as follows:

Cisco WAP Series (WAP131, WAP551, WAP561, WAP581)

1. Locate the small Reset button on the back or bottom of the device. It is typically recessed and requires a pin, paperclip, or toothpick to press.
2. With the device powered on, press and hold the Reset button for 30–35 seconds (holding for only 10 seconds may simply reboot the device without resetting it).
3. Release the button when all indicator lights turn off. The device will reboot and restore factory settings.
4. Once rebooted, navigate to http://192.168.1.245 and log in with the default credentials (cisco/cisco or admin/admin depending on model).

Linksys WAP54G / WAP4400N Series

1. Find the Reset button on the back panel of the device.
2. With the device powered on, press and hold the Reset button for approximately 10–15 seconds using a pin or paperclip.
3. Release when the power LED begins to flash. The device will reboot to factory defaults.
4. Access the admin panel at http://192.168.1.245 using the default credentials.

AirTight Networks C-75 / SS-200-AT

1. Locate the Reset pinhole on the device chassis.
2. Insert a straightened paperclip and hold for 10–15 seconds while the device is powered on.
3. Release when the LEDs cycle. The device will restore to factory defaults with 192.168.1.245 as the default IP.
4. Log in using config as both the username and password.

Important: A factory reset will erase all custom configurations, including your SSID, wireless passwords, VLAN settings, and any security policies. Make sure to back up your configuration before resetting if possible.

Changing Your Password at 192.168.1.245

Keeping the default password on any network device is a serious security risk. Whether you are using a Cisco WAP, a Linksys access point, or an AirTight Networks appliance at 192.168.1.245, you should change the admin password immediately after your first login. Here is how to do it:

1. Open your browser and go to http://192.168.1.245.
2. Log in with your current credentials (or the defaults listed above if you have not changed them yet).
3. Navigate to the Administration, Management, or System section of the dashboard — the exact label depends on your device model.
4. Look for a Change Password or Admin Password option.
5. Enter your current password, then type your new password twice to confirm.
6. Click Save or Apply to store the changes.

Choose a strong password that is at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information such as your name, address, or the device model number. Once changed, store your new password in a secure password manager so you do not lose access to your device at 192.168.1.245.

What Is 192.168.1.245 and Why Is It a Private IP Address?

192.168.1.245 is a Class C private IPv4 address that falls within the 192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255 range reserved by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for private network use. This means it can never appear on the public internet — it exists solely within local area networks (LANs) such as your home, office, or enterprise wireless infrastructure.

Within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, addresses range from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254, giving you up to 254 usable host addresses. The address 192.168.1.245 sits near the upper end of this range, which is why it is typically assigned to access points and infrastructure devices rather than end-user clients. When a Cisco WAP551 or Linksys WAP54G uses 192.168.1.245 as its default IP, it means that is the address you use to manage the device — not necessarily the gateway that your client devices use to reach the internet.

Other commonly used addresses in the same 192.168.1.x subnet include:

• 192.168.1.1 — the most widely used default gateway for home routers
• 192.168.1.254 — used by some DSL modems and ISP-provided gateways
• 192.168.1.100–192.168.1.200 — typically assigned dynamically by DHCP to client devices

Because 192.168.1.245 is a private address, any device on your local network could theoretically be assigned this IP. However, since Cisco, Linksys, and AirTight Networks access points use it as a fixed management address, you should avoid assigning 192.168.1.245 to any other device on your network to prevent IP address conflicts. An IP conflict would cause both devices to become unreachable and disrupt your network connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions About 192.168.1.245

Which router brands use 192.168.1.245 as their default IP?

The three confirmed brands that use 192.168.1.245 as their default gateway or management IP are Cisco (WAP131, WAP200, WAP2000, WAP200E, WAP4410N, WAP551, WAP561, WAP581), Linksys (WAP54G series, WAP4400N, WAP54GPE, WAP54GX), and AirTight Networks (C-75, C-75-E, SS-200-AT). These are all wireless access point devices, not traditional home routers. If you have a standard home router, its default gateway is more likely 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.8.1.

Why can't I reach 192.168.1.245 from my browser?

The most common reason you cannot reach 192.168.1.245 is that your computer is not on the same subnet as the access point. Your computer's IP address must be in the 192.168.1.x range (e.g., 192.168.1.10) to communicate with a device at 192.168.1.245. Check your network adapter settings and ensure you are connected to the correct network. Also verify that 192.168.1.245 is actually the management IP of your device — some Cisco and Linksys models allow you to change this during initial setup.

What is the default username and password for 192.168.1.245?

The default credentials depend on your specific device. For most Cisco WAP models at 192.168.1.245, use cisco/cisco. For Cisco WAP200/WAP2000 and all Linksys WAP models, use admin/admin (or a blank username with admin as the password for older Linksys WAP54G versions). For AirTight Networks devices, use config/config. Always change these defaults immediately after your first login to protect your network.

Is 192.168.1.245 safe to use on my network?

Yes, 192.168.1.245 is a completely safe private IP address. It cannot be accessed from outside your local network, so it is not directly exposed to internet-based attacks. However, you should still change the default admin password on any device using 192.168.1.245 — particularly Cisco and Linksys access points — to prevent unauthorized access from within your local network. Also ensure your device's firmware is up to date to protect against known vulnerabilities.

Can I change the IP address of my device from 192.168.1.245 to something else?

Yes. Once you log in to the admin panel at http://192.168.1.245, you can navigate to the network or LAN settings section and assign a new static IP address to your Cisco, Linksys, or AirTight Networks device. This is useful if 192.168.1.245 conflicts with another device on your network, or if you want to organize your network with a more memorable address. After changing the IP, you will need to use the new address to access the admin panel going forward.

What is the difference between 192.168.1.245 and 192.168.1.1?

Both are private Class C IP addresses in the same 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, but they serve different purposes in practice. 192.168.1.1 is the most common default gateway for consumer home routers (used by brands like TP-Link, ASUS, and many others), while 192.168.1.245 is specifically used by Cisco, Linksys, and AirTight Networks wireless access points as their management IP. If your network has both a home router at 192.168.1.1 and a Cisco access point at 192.168.1.245, both addresses are valid and accessible simultaneously from any device on the 192.168.1.x subnet.

What should I do if 192.168.1.245 shows a security warning in my browser?

Some browsers display a security warning when you access 192.168.1.245 because the device uses a self-signed SSL certificate or only supports HTTP. This is normal for Cisco WAP, Linksys WAP, and AirTight Networks devices. You can safely proceed by clicking Advanced and then Proceed to 192.168.1.245 (or equivalent in your browser). Since this is a local network address and not a public website, the risk is minimal — especially if you are on a trusted private network.

Related IP Addresses in the 192.168.1.x Subnet

The 192.168.1.0/24 subnet contains 254 usable IP addresses, and several of them are commonly assigned as default gateways or management addresses by various manufacturers. If 192.168.1.245 is not the right address for your device, you may want to try one of these related addresses:
