How to log in to your iiNet modem
- Connect a device to the modem by Wi-Fi or cable.
- Open a browser and go to http://192.168.1.1.
- Log in with username admin and the password on the modem’s sticker.
| Modem | Admin URL | Default credentials |
|---|---|---|
| TG-789 / BudiiLite | 192.168.1.1 | Username admin, password on the back sticker (unique per unit) |
| Other iiNet modems | 192.168.1.1 | See the barcode sticker on the modem |
Forgot the password? Reset it
Hold the reset button for about 10-15 seconds until the modem restarts. This restores factory defaults (the sticker password) but clears any custom Wi-Fi name/password and your broadband settings, which then need re-entering.
Changing your Wi-Fi name & password
Once logged in, open Wireless / Wi-Fi settings to change the network name and password on both bands. Use a strong password. We can do this remotely and re-secure the modem for you.

I forgot my iiNet modem password – what do I do?
Hold the reset button for 10-15 seconds to factory-reset it, then use the sticker password. Note this clears custom Wi-Fi and broadband settings, which we can re-enter for you.
How do I change my iiNet Wi-Fi password?

The admin password is case-sensitive and unique to your unit – copy it exactly from the sticker. If it still fails, a reset restores the sticker default.
