MEO Router Login
MEO, a major Portuguese telecom provider (part of Altice), supplies customers with routers, most notably the FiberGateway for fiber optic services. Logging into your MEO router allows managing Wi-Fi, network settings, and checking status.
How to Login to MEO Router
Accessing your MEO FiberGateway settings is done through its web interface. This allows you to customize your home network provided by MEO.
The standard ways to reach the login page are by using the URL http://gateway.meo.pt or the default IP address 192.168.1.254. Enter either of these into your web browser's address bar while connected to the MEO network.
MEO typically uses standard default credentials for initial access to the FiberGateway: the username is 'meo' and the password is also 'meo' (all lowercase). It is highly recommended to change this default password after your first login for security purposes.
MEO also offers the My MEO app which might provide options for managing some basic settings, like Wi-Fi passwords, without needing the web interface.
- Connect your device (computer, tablet) to your MEO network via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser.
- Enter the MEO router's configuration URL or IP address. Common options are 'http://gateway.meo.pt' or the IP address 'http://192.168.1.254'.
- A login screen will appear.
- Enter the default username 'meo' and the default password 'meo'.
- Click 'Login' or 'Entrar'.

Troubleshooting Issues with MEO Router
Cannot log in to your MEO FiberGateway (gateway.meo.pt or 192.168.1.254)? Try these steps:
- Confirm URL/IP: Ensure you are correctly typing 'http://gateway.meo.pt' or '192.168.1.254'.
- Check Connection: Verify your device is connected to the MEO network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
- Correct Credentials: Use 'meo' for both username and password (all lowercase). If you have changed the password previously, use your custom password.
- Browser Issues: Clear browser cache/cookies, use an incognito/private window, or try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
- Router Reboot: Restart your MEO FiberGateway. Unplug the power cord, wait 60 seconds, plug it back in, and allow several minutes for it to fully boot and connect.
- Factory Reset (Caution): If you forgot a custom password, use the reset button. Find the recessed button (often labeled 'Reset'), press and hold it with a pin for about 10-15 seconds until lights change/reboot. This erases all settings. You can then log in using the default 'meo'/'meo' credentials. You will lose all custom configurations (Wi-Fi settings, etc.). Contact MEO support first if unsure.
- Check My MEO App: See if the app can help manage the setting you need.
MEO Router setup
After logging into your MEO FiberGateway interface ('meo'/'meo'):
- Change Admin Password: Immediately navigate to Maintenance/Management or Security settings and change the default 'meo' password to a strong, unique one.
- Customize Wi-Fi Settings: Go to the Wi-Fi or Wireless section. Change the network name (SSID) and password (Chave/Password). MEO FiberGateways often use band steering; you might find options to separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands if desired.
- Check Connection Status: Verify internet connection status, WAN IP address, and fiber signal levels (if shown).
- View Connected Devices: See a list of devices currently connected to your network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
- Explore Network Settings: Look at LAN settings, DHCP server configuration.
- Security Features: Review firewall options, UPnP settings, and consider setting up a Guest Network if available.
- Save Changes ('Aplicar' / 'Guardar'): Apply any modifications you make.
