Which Hardware Version Do You Have?
Some routers come in two or more hardware or firmware versions, each with different default login information. However, the EA2700 is available in only one version and therefore uses only one set of credentials. You can find the hardware version near the bottom or side of the model number, labeled with a “v” to indicate the version. If you don’t see a version number on your router, you can assume it’s Version 1.
If the EA2700 Default Password Doesn’t Work
Although a default password is useful when you first log in to a router, you can and should change it as soon as possible. Changing a password to something only you know, however, means only you can remember it—and forget it, which is easy to do if it’s as secure as it should be. If you’ve forgotten your EA2700 router password, follow the steps below to reset the router’s settings to factory defaults, which will restore the default username and password mentioned above. Adding back in all the customizations you made to your router after resetting them can be a tedious process. To avoid having to do it ever again, consider backing up the router’s configuration to a file that you can restore if you ever have to reset it again. To back up your settings, go to Router Settings > Troubleshooting > Diagnostics at 192.168.1.1.
What to Do When You Can’t Access the EA2700 Router
Just as with the default username and password, the EA2700 may have had its default IP address changed to something else. That’s probably why you can’t access it. Instead of resetting the router, simply find the default gateway of a computer connected to the router. This will tell you the IP address that the computer is set up to send requests to (the default gateway IP address), which is also the address for the EA2700.
