About this tool
Secure your Wi-Fi router step by step: admin password, WPA3, WPS, remote admin, firmware and guest network settings for 11 router brands and Indian ISPs.
A scored security checklist for your home router. Pick your router brand or broadband provider and work through the settings that matter on that exact admin panel, from the default password to WPS, remote management and firmware updates. This page brings together 11 separate router hardening checklist pages (ACT Fibernet, Airtel Xstream, Asus, BSNL, D-Link, JioFiber, Linksys, Netgear, Tenda, TP-Link, Xiaomi) so you can compare them without hunting for the right one.
Open Router Hardening Checklist on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Choose your router / isp at the top: ACT Fibernet, Airtel Xstream, Asus, BSNL and 7 more. On a phone it is a drop-down list.
Fill in the router hardening checklist for that router / isp; each of the 11 options keeps its own rules, data and defaults.
Read the result, then switch router / isp to compare. The page link keeps your router / isp (?v=act-fibernet), so you can bookmark or share it.
ACT Fibernet, Airtel Xstream, Asus and the rest sit behind one picker, so switching router / isp takes a tap instead of a new search.
Every router / isp keeps its own rules, numbers and defaults rather than one generic template.
The link remembers the router / isp you picked, so a bookmark or a shared link opens straight on it.
11: ACT Fibernet, Airtel Xstream, Asus, BSNL, D-Link, JioFiber, Linksys, Netgear, Tenda, TP-Link, Xiaomi. Pick one at the top of the tool; the page link updates (for example ?v=act-fibernet) so you can bookmark or share that exact view.
No. ACT installations can use different routers or ONTs, so the checklist focuses on common security settings and names the menu area rather than one model-specific screen.
Airtel-supplied ONTs normally answer at http://192.168.1.1, and the default admin password is printed on the label underneath the unit rather than being a single value across all models. Change it on first login, because that label has been seen by the installer and by anyone who has picked the box up.
Open router.asus.com or 192.168.1.1 from a device on the network — newer models use 192.168.50.1. Older units shipped with admin as both username and password, while the current setup wizard forces you to choose one, and ASUSWRT also lets you rename the admin account under Administration > System.
Most BSNL Bharat Fiber ONTs and older ADSL modems answer at 192.168.1.1, but the sticker or installation slip should be treated as the final source for your model.
Many DIR models ship with the username admin and no password at all, reachable at dlinkrouter.local or 192.168.0.1. Newer units print a unique password on the label under the router, and that label — including the Ax or Bx hardware revision — is the authoritative source for your device.
Most Jio Home Gateways answer at 192.168.29.1, though some homes may also see 192.168.1.1. The sticker on the ONT and the MyJio app are the practical source for your model.
If you do not use remote app management, disabling cloud binding reduces the number of accounts that can change router settings. If you keep it, use a unique password and two-factor authentication where available.
Netgear routers historically shipped with admin as the username and password as the password, reachable at routerlogin.net or 192.168.1.1. Many recent models instead print a unique admin password on the label under the unit, and that label is the authoritative source for your model.
Tenda routers conventionally answer at http://192.168.0.1, or at tendawifi.com from a device on the network. There is often no separate factory admin password: the first-run wizard sets one, and it offers to reuse the Wi-Fi password for it, which is why separating the two is the first thing to fix.
Most Archer routers answer at tplinkwifi.net or 192.168.0.1, and older units shipped with admin as both username and password. Newer firmware forces you to create a password during first setup, and the label on the base of the unit is the authoritative source for your specific model.
