The IP address 192.168.50.1 is frequently used as the default gateway address for many modern routers manufactured by Asus. If your network devices obtain IP addresses starting with 192.168.50.x, this is almost certainly the address to access your Asus router's management interface (AsusWRT).
How to Login to 192.168.50.1
Need to configure your Asus router via 192.168.50.1? This IP address is the standard portal for accessing the web-based administration panel (often called AsusWRT) on many contemporary Asus routers. From here, you can manage essential settings like your WiFi name (SSID) and password, update the router's firmware, configure security features like AiProtection, set up guest networks, and much more.
Ensure your computer or mobile device is connected to the Asus router's network – either wirelessly or via an Ethernet cable plugged into one of the LAN ports (typically yellow ports, numbered 1-4 or more).
Using a standard web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) is the way to access the 192.168.50.1 interface. Asus routers often guide you through an initial setup wizard upon first connection.
- Connect your device (PC, phone, tablet) to the Asus router's network (WiFi or Ethernet to a LAN port).
- Open your web browser.
- Type 'http://192.168.50.1' or sometimes just 'router.asus.com' into the address bar.
- Press Enter.
- A login screen will appear. Enter the username and password you configured during the initial router setup.
- If you haven't set it up yet, the default username is often 'admin', and you might be prompted to create a password immediately, or the default password might also be 'admin' (though newer setups force a change). Check your setup notes.
- Click 'Sign In' or 'Login'.

Troubleshooting Issues with 192.168.50.1
Cannot access the 192.168.50.1 Asus router interface? Check these common issues:
- Verify Connection: Ensure you are connected to the correct Asus WiFi network or that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to a LAN port (not the blue WAN port).
- Confirm Gateway IP: Although common, double-check your Default Gateway using `ipconfig` (Windows) or `ip route` (Mac/Linux). It should be 192.168.50.1.
- Typo Check: Make sure you typed 192.168.50.1 or router.asus.com correctly.
- Router Power Cycle: Unplug the router, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in. Give it a few minutes to fully boot.
- Browser Issues: Clear your browser's cache and cookies, or try accessing using an incognito/private window. Try a different browser entirely.
- Firewall Interference: Temporarily disable any third-party firewall software on your computer.
- Wrong Credentials: Ensure you are using the correct administrator username and password that you set during the router's initial setup. It's not the WiFi password.
- Factory Reset (Last Resort): Find the physical reset button on the router (often recessed). While powered on, press and hold it for 10-15 seconds until the power LED flashes. This erases all settings, restoring the default IP and prompting for initial setup again (default login might revert to admin/admin temporarily).
