If your WiFi’s been acting up, running slow, or you just want to change the network name to something cooler than VM123456, you’re in the right place. Accessing your Virgin Media router settings might sound like tech wizardry, but it’s actually pretty straightforward — and yes, you can absolutely do it from your sofa.
This very quick guide will walk you through how to log into your Virgin Media Hub settings, whether you’re using a Hub 3, Hub 4, or the latest Hub 5. No complicated tools. No headaches. Just a browser and a few clicks.
What You’ll Need
Before we dive in, make sure you’ve got:
A device connected to your Virgin Media network (WiFi or wired — doesn’t matter)
A web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge… all good)
Your router’s login details (usually printed on the sticker on the side or bottom of the Hub)
Step-by-Step: Accessing Your Virgin Media Router Settings
1. Open your browser and type this in:
http://192.168.0.1
This is the router’s local IP address — kind of like its front door. Hit enter, and you’ll be taken to the login screen.
Note: If that address doesn’t work, try http://192.168.100.1 — some Hubs use this instead.
2. Enter your login details
When the login screen pops up, you’ll be asked for a username and password. Unless you’ve changed it, the default password should be on a sticker on the back or bottom of the router.
- Username: Usually blank or admin
- Password: Look for a string labeled “settings password” or “router password” on the sticker.
3. You’re in!
Once logged in, you’ll see the router settings dashboard. From here, you can:
- Change your WiFi name (SSID) and password
- Set up guest networks
- See what devices are connected
- Restart or reboot the Hub
- Adjust advanced settings if you’re feeling confident
