These routers ship with the default IP address of 192.168.1.1.
Can’t Get the Valet Default Password to Work?
If the default password doesn’t work for your Valet or Valet Plus, then someone changed it at some point (which was smart, for security’s sake). If you have no way of knowing the current password, your only course of action is a factory reset. That’s exactly what it sounds like: a complete reversion back to the original factory settings. Here’s how to reset a Valet M10 or Valet Plus M20: You also need to set up the wireless network settings again. Unfortunately, a factory reset erases all the existing settings, such as the Wi-Fi password, SSID, etc., not just the username and password.
What If I Can’t Access the Valet Router?
Whether you know the password and username to your Cisco Valet router is irrelevant if you can’t reach it by its IP address. By default, you should be able to access your router at 192.168.1.1. If not, you or someone else must have changed it at some point, which is completely fine. To see which IP address the Cisco Valet is using is as simple as identifying the default gateway on one of the computers that are connected to the router. See How to Find Your Default Gateway IP Address if you need help doing this in Windows.
Cisco Valet and Valet Plus Manual
Both Cisco Valet routers share the same manual, available here as a PDF: Valet and Valet Plus User Guide. There are support pages for these routers on Linksys’ website (M10 and M20), but they no longer include firmware updates or other support.
