MTN ZTE Router Login: Complete 2026 Guide
Most MTN ZTE routers use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 as the default login address, with admin/admin as the default username and password. Connect to the router's WiFi or LAN, enter the IP address in your browser (not the search bar), and log in with these credentials or the ones printed on your router's sticker.
Before You Start
- - Connect your device to the MTN ZTE router's WiFi network, or use an Ethernet cable for a more stable connection during setup.
- - Make sure mobile data is off if you're using a phone, to avoid conflicts.
- - Disable any VPN temporarily — VPNs can block access to local router addresses.
How to Log In
1. Open any browser and type your router's IP address in the address bar (not the search bar): typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1.
2. Press Enter. You should see a login screen.
3. Enter the default username and password — usually admin/admin.
4. If those don't work, check the sticker on the back or bottom of your router for MTN-customized credentials.
Finding Your Router's IP Address If the Defaults Don't Work
- - Windows: Press Windows + R, type cmd, press Enter, then type ipconfig and look for "Default Gateway."
- - Phone (Android/iOS): Go to WiFi settings, tap your connected network, and look for the Gateway or Router address.
- - Router label: Most routers list the IP, username, and password together on a sticker underneath or on the back.
Default Username and Password
For most MTN-branded ZTE routers, the default login is admin/admin. Depending on the model, you may also encounter other common combinations — always check your router's sticker first if admin/admin doesn't work, since some MTN-customized units ship with unique credentials.

Note the difference between two separate passwords people often confuse:
- - Admin password — logs you into the router's management dashboard.
- - WiFi password — what devices use to connect to your wireless network.
These are not the same, and changing one doesn't affect the other.
Troubleshooting: Login Page Not Opening
Copied Text
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Page won't load at all | Confirm you're connected to the router's network, not mobile data |
| Wrong IP address | Try both 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1, or check the sticker |
| Browser issue | Try a different browser or open in Incognito/Private mode |
| VPN interference | Disable VPN temporarily and reload |
| Still not working | Restart the router, wait 30 seconds, try again |
Resetting If You've Forgotten Your Login
If you've changed the admin password and can't remember it, you'll need to factory reset the router: locate the reset button (usually a small pinhole), hold it for 10-15 seconds, and wait for the router to restart. This restores the original default credentials but also erases custom settings like your WiFi name and password.
