Change the default password after logging in

Default credentials for Google Nest routers are publicly documented, so if your router still uses one, change the admin password immediately to a strong, unique password. Leaving the default in place lets anyone on your network reconfigure the router. Many newer Google Nest models instead ship with a unique password printed on the device label - if yours does, use that.

Open a browser and go to http://192.168.86.1, then sign in with the credentials above. Not sure which address is yours? See router login by IP. If you don't know a changed password, you can reset the router to restore the default.

Frequently asked questions

What is the default password for a Google Nest router?

Google Nest Wifi and Google Wifi have no web admin page and no default password. They are configured entirely through the Google Home app. Many newer routers also print a unique password on the device label, so check the sticker on your unit first.

What is the default IP address for a Google Nest router?

Google Nest routers most commonly use 192.168.86.1. Because the address can be changed, confirm it by checking your device's default gateway.

The default Google Nest password doesn't work - what should I do?

Either the password was changed, or your model uses a unique per-device password printed on the label. Check the sticker on the router, then factory reset it to restore the default credentials if needed.
