192.168.1.13 Admin Login, IP, User & Password

IP stands for Internet Protocol. A protocol is a set of rules, that if followed can establish communication between two entities. Therefore an IP address is nothing but an address in the numerical form. An IP address is made up of four parts separated by periods. An example of an IP address could be 192.168.1.13. An IP address is also called a Host address. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority(IANA) registers 192.168.1.13 as a private IP address used for the private network 192.168.1.0/24. To log in to a router, we use 192.168.1.13 as an IP address.

This IP address can only be used in homes or small organizations. It should be manually assigned. Each router acts as a gateway or access point having its private address. Through the use of a Network Address Translator(NAT) gateway or a proxy server, we could connect to the internet from a private network. Wired and wireless routers are examples of NAT gateways.

All routers have two different types of IP addresses. An IP address used on your local network known as Local Area Network(LAN) IP address and the other one assign by the modem known as Wide Area Network(WAN) IP address. By using a private IP address in your local network, any number of your devices can be assigned to it.

We can access routers through a web-based interface, using their IP addresses or their Domain Name Server(DNS). To gain complete access to a router we need it’s IP address 192.168.1.13, username, and password.
