Edimax Router Login

Edimax is a Taiwanese networking brand that occupies the budget segment — affordable routers, WiFi range extenders, and USB wireless adapters. They're particularly well known for compact extenders and travel routers. The admin IP for Edimax routers is 192.168.0.1 with default credentials admin / 1234. Range extenders, which typically operate in a different subnet to avoid conflict with your main router, use 192.168.2.2 or the local hostname ap.setup.

How to Log In (Router)

  1. Connect to the Edimax WiFi or via ethernet
  2. Open a browser and go to http://192.168.0.1
  3. Username: admin   Password: 1234
  4. The Edimax interface has a wizard-style layout — General Setup, Advanced Settings, and Tools

How to Log In (Range Extender)

  1. Connect to the extender's own WiFi network (named something like "Edimax.Extender.XXXX" initially)
  2. Open a browser and try http://ap.setup — if that doesn't load, try http://192.168.2.2
  3. Username: admin   Password: 1234
  4. The wizard asks for your main router's WiFi network name and password to bridge into

Edimax Extender Modes

Edimax range extenders support multiple modes configured during setup:

  • Range Extender — connects wirelessly to your main router and rebroadcasts the signal with the same or a different SSID
  • Access Point — connects via ethernet to your main router and creates a new wireless network (better performance than repeater mode)
  • MU-MIMO / Concurrent Dual-band — on AC models, uses one band for backhaul to the router and the other band for client connections

Change WiFi Password

  1. Log in at 192.168.0.1
  2. Go to General Setup → Wireless → Security
  3. Update the Pre-shared Key field
  4. Click Apply

Troubleshooting

ProblemFix
admin/1234 not workingPassword was changed — factory reset: hold reset button 10 seconds
ap.setup not resolving for extenderTry 192.168.2.2 directly — the hostname requires DNS from within the extender's own WiFi
Extender connected but slowPlace extender closer to main router, or switch to Access Point mode with an ethernet cable for full speed
Can't find 192.168.0.1 after connecting to extenderExtenders use 192.168.2.2, not .0.1 — .0.1 is for the main router
