The web interface is a page where you can configure your Linksys router's settings. The fist step to accessing this page is to check your router's local IP address. Unless it is changed, your Linksys router's default local IP address (also known as the Default Gateway) is 192.168.1.1. If you are unable to access your router using this, follow the steps below to learn how to identify the correct local IP address.
