Linksys WAG160N Default Password

Looking for the Linksys WAG160N default password? You probably have little reason to access your router on a regular basis so don't feel too bad if you've forgotten the WAG160N default password.

However, when you're troubleshooting a network problem and need to get in to the device, the WAG160N default password suddenly becomes very important.

For most versions of the Linksys WAG160N, the default password is admin. As with most passwords, the WAG160N default password is case sensitive.

In addition to the WAG160N default password, you can also see the WAG160N default username and WAG160N default IP address in the table below.

Note: The Linksys WAG160N default password may be different for certain hardware or firmware versions.

If I have that information, I'll include the exact WAG160N version number along with the correct default password. You can usually find your Linksys WAG160N version number on the bottom of the router.

Be sure to change the default router password on your WAG160N to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new WAG160N password.
