Troubleshooting Synology Login Problems

Cannot reach router.synology.com or 192.168.1.1 in browser

Ensure your device is connected directly to your Synology router's Wi-Fi network or plugged into a numbered LAN port with an Ethernet cable. If you are connected to cellular data or an active VPN, disconnect them as they route DNS requests away from the local router gateway.

Default login password "(Created on Wizard)" is not accepted

Check the physical sticker on the bottom or back of your Synology router. Many modern models print a unique factory admin password or Wi-Fi key. If the password was changed during initial setup and forgotten, press the Reset pinhole button for 10 seconds to restore factory credentials.
