192.168.123.1
192.168.123.1 Router Admin Login
Default gateway for some Ovislink and AirLive networking equipment.
192.168.123.1 is a private IP address used as the default gateway on various routers, travel routers, and portable hotspot devices. This is not a mainstream gateway like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. The 192.168.123.0/24 subnet appears primarily on portable networking devices and secondary routers designed for travel or temporary deployments. If your device uses this IP address, the login process follows the standard browser-based approach.
How to Login to 192.168.123.1
Connect to the device through Wi-Fi. Travel routers and hotspots broadcast their own Wi-Fi network. The default SSID and password are printed on the device label or displayed on an LCD screen if the device has one.
Open a browser and type 192.168.123.1 in the address bar. The admin panel login page should appear. Enter the default credentials. Most devices at this address use admin for both the username and password.
Some travel routers display a setup wizard on first connection. The wizard walks through internet source selection (hotel Wi-Fi, tethered phone, Ethernet), Wi-Fi configuration, and security settings. Complete the wizard to finalize the setup.
If the page does not load, verify the gateway by running ipconfig on Windows or ip route on macOS. The Default Gateway must show 192.168.123.1. For step-by-step guidance, see the router login guide.
Default Credentials
Factory defaults for devices at this IP address:
| Device | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|
| GL.iNet travel router | admin | admin |
| Portable hotspot | admin | admin |
| Generic travel router | admin | admin |
| Full-size router | admin | admin |
| Alternative defaults | admin | password |
The admin/admin default is nearly universal across devices at this address. GL.iNet routers require a password change on first login. If you cannot log in, reset the device by holding the reset button for 10 seconds to restore factory defaults.
Routers Using This IP
GL.iNet is the most notable brand near this subnet. GL.iNet manufactures compact travel routers like the GL-MT1300 (Beryl) and GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX). These devices are popular among travelers who want VPN protection on hotel Wi-Fi networks.
Portable Wi-Fi hotspots from various manufacturers also use this IP address. These battery-powered devices share a cellular data connection over Wi-Fi.
Some full-size consumer routers default to this subnet as well, particularly unbranded models from online marketplaces.
Troubleshooting
-
Admin page does not load. Make sure you are connected to the correct device’s Wi-Fi network. Travel routers create their own Wi-Fi, separate from the internet source. Connect to the travel router’s network, not the hotel Wi-Fi or your phone’s hotspot directly.
-
Default password rejected. Some devices force a password change on first setup. If someone else configured the device, you need that custom password. A factory reset restores the defaults. Hold the reset button for 10 seconds on most devices. For help, find your router IP address to confirm you are connecting to the right device.
-
Travel router connects to hotel Wi-Fi but has no internet. Hotel Wi-Fi often requires a captive portal login (accepting terms or entering a room number). Some travel routers cannot display captive portals through their admin panel. Connect a phone or laptop directly to the hotel Wi-Fi first, complete the portal login, then clone your device’s MAC address on the travel router.
-
Device shows 192.168.123.1 as gateway but it is not a travel router. An administrator or previous user may have configured this address manually. The login process is the same regardless. Use admin/admin and check the admin panel for device identification details.
This IP vs Other Gateways
192.168.123.1 occupies a niche distinct from mainstream gateways. While 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 serve permanent home networks, the .123.1 address is associated with portable and temporary networking.
Travel routers at this address sit between your devices and an untrusted internet source. The travel router connects to hotel Wi-Fi on its WAN side and creates a secured network on its LAN side at 192.168.123.0/24.
The high subnet number reduces the chance of conflicts. Hotels and public spaces typically use 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/24, or 192.168.1.0/24. The .123.0/24 range avoids all of those, ensuring the travel router’s internal network does not collide with the external IP address space.
Frequently Asked Questions
