Increase In Internet usage
 

there has been a great internet usage and the prices are sky rocketing.

192.168.1.1 login is getting important. 

IANA, i.e. the Internet Assigned Number Authority, has kept aside a set of IP Addresses for various reasons, including the creation of a dedicated address for logging into your router’s control panel.

Typically, 192.168.1.1 is the IP address for a router’s login page - once the user enters their username and password, the page redirects to the settings and configuration page.

The problem is that most people get it wrong on the first try because of human error and maybe even auto-correct suggestions - they end up entering 192.168.l.1 Instead of 192.168.1.1.

This is because the number “1” and the letter “l” look quite alike, so when people read out the IP address on screen or from the router’s box, they tend to interchange the two.
