I tried using the website 'Modemly' that can search the IP address and initial password of the router

When setting up a router, it is necessary to access a different IP address for each type of router, but since this IP address is a list of numbers, it is difficult to remember, and it is troublesome to pull out the manual every time you set up.

On the website 'Modemly ' that collects information on routers around the world, you can check the IP addresses and initial passwords of various routers, so I actually tried using Modemly to check the IP addresses and so on.

The information page of RT-AC68U describes the IP address '192.168.1.1' that should be accessed at the time of setting.

Furthermore, scrolling down, the IP address, initial user name, and initial password were summarized. In Modemly, you can browse the registered router information like this.

Modemly also has a page that summarizes the vulnerability information of routers registered in the US government's vulnerability information database '
