Excitel Router Login
Excitel is an internet service provider in India known for its fiber broadband plans. This guide helps Excitel customers log into their provided FTTH ONT (Optical Network Terminal) or router.
How to Login to Excitel Router
Logging into your Excitel router or ONT is necessary for managing your WiFi network. Excitel primarily provides Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) services, and the supplied ONT often acts as the router. The most common default IP address for these devices is 192.168.1.1.
Login credentials can vary based on the ONT manufacturer (e.g., Syrotech, Netlink, Huawei, ZTE) used by Excitel. Always check the sticker on the back or bottom of your device first. Common possibilities include:
- Standard: 'admin'/'admin'
- User Level: 'user'/'user', 'epuser'/'user' (may have limited access)
- ISP Specific/Admin Level: Sometimes requires credentials like 'telecomadmin'/'admintelecom' or other admin logins potentially known by Excitel technicians.
- Unique Label Credentials: Some devices have unique passwords printed on the label.
A stable Ethernet connection is recommended when making changes in the configuration panel.
- Connect your computer or phone to the Excitel router/ONT network via WiFi or an Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser and enter the default IP address, typically 'http://192.168.1.1'.
- Enter the username and password. Check the device label. Common combinations: 'admin'/'admin', 'user'/'user', 'epuser'/'user', or potentially unique credentials printed on the sticker.
- Click 'Login' to access the Excitel device's settings interface.

Troubleshooting Issues with Excitel Router
Can't log into your Excitel device? Check these points:
- Verify IP Address: Ensure you are using '192.168.1.1'.
- Check Credentials Carefully: Enter the username/password exactly as found on the label (case-sensitive). Try both user and admin combinations if listed or known.
- Network Connection: Confirm your device is connected to the Excitel network. Check ONT lights for PON (fiber link) and internet status.
- Browser Issues: Clear cache/cookies or use an incognito/private window.
- Device Restart: Power cycle the ONT/router. Unplug, wait a minute, plug back in. Allow time for the fiber link (PON light) and internet connection to re-establish.
- Factory Reset (HIGH CAUTION): If the password was lost, find the reset button. Press and hold for 10-15 seconds. ***WARNING: Resetting an Excitel ONT will likely erase crucial ISP configurations (PPPoE login, VLAN ID) needed for your internet to work. You will likely need to contact Excitel support to get the service reconfigured after a reset. DO NOT reset unless instructed or you know the required settings.*** Use default label credentials after reset.
- Contact Excitel Support: If defaults don't work and reset is risky, contact Excitel customer care for assistance. They may have specific credentials or restrictions.
Excitel Router setup
After successfully logging into your Excitel ONT/router (access level may vary):
- Change Password (If Possible): If logged in with default admin credentials, change the password if the interface allows.
- Configure WiFi Network: Set or change the WiFi SSID (network name) and use a strong WPA2/WPA3 password. Manage 2.4/5GHz bands if dual-band.
- Check WAN/Internet Settings: Verify the connection status. Excitel typically uses PPPoE or Static IP/DHCP depending on the plan. Ensure the correct username/password (provided by Excitel) and VLAN ID are configured (usually done by technician). Do not change these unless instructed by Excitel.
- View Connected Devices: See which devices are using your network.
- Check Optical Power (PON Status): View fiber signal strength diagnostics if available.
- Firmware Version: Note firmware; updates usually handled by Excitel.
- Basic Security: Ensure firewall is enabled.
