Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your router, this guide will help you resolve common problems.

Unable to Access the Router Admin Panel

Check if your device has obtained an IP address. If not, try removing and reinserting the Ethernet cable or restarting the network.
Set your device to "obtain IP address automatically" and "obtain DNS server address automatically".
If connecting via Ethernet, ensure the network cable is properly plugged into the router's LAN port.
Verify you enter http://192.168.8.1 correctly in the web address bar.
Try turning the router off and on again, or perform a restart.

No Internet Access After Setting Up the Router

Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the router's WAN port.
Connect your device directly to the upstream device via an Ethernet cable to check internet access.
Ensure your device has obtained an IP address. If using PPPoE dial-up, double-check your username and password.
If the interface indicates "connected, but the network is unavailable," try removing and reinserting the Ethernet cable or check your upstream device.

Unable to Connect the Router to the GL.iNet App

Make sure your GL.iNet App is updated to the latest version.
Confirm your phone is connected to the router's Wi-Fi network.
Ensure the router is fully powered on and has completed its startup, then try scanning again in the App.

Forgot the Admin Panel Password

With the router powered on, press and hold the reset button.
Release the button when the touch screen displays "Release to Reset Mode". Wait for the device to restart and the touch screen to return to the initial interface displaying 'GL.iNet'. (Note: Reset Mode clears all existing settings.)
After it restarts, log in to the web admin panel (http://192.168.8.1) and reset the router's password.

Forgot the Wi-Fi Network Password

If you haven't changed the Wi-Fi password, find it on the product label located on the bottom of the router.
If you have changed the Wi-Fi password, connect your device to the router's web admin panel via an Ethernet cable to view or modify your Wi-Fi password.
