Orange routers, including the Livebox supplied by Orange in France, Spain, Poland and other markets, use a private gateway address as the front door to their admin panel. If you manage one of these routers, knowing the default gateway, the default credentials and the usual failure modes will save you a lot of guessing.

Find the default gateway

Most Orange Livebox routers answer at 192.168.1.1. Confirm the gateway on your own network instead of assuming it:

  • On Windows, run ipconfig and read the Default Gateway line.
  • On macOS or Linux, run ip route or check the network settings for the router address.
  • On a phone, open the Wi-Fi details for the connected network and look for the router or gateway entry.

If the gateway is 192.168.1.1, type http://192.168.1.1 in the browser address bar. If it is different, use the address your device reports.

Log in to the admin panel

  1. Connect to the router over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The admin panel is only reachable from inside the local network.
  2. Open a browser and go to the gateway address.
  3. Enter the admin password. On many Livebox routers the password is printed on a label on the router, or it is derived from the Wi-Fi key, so check the label before trying common defaults.
  4. Once signed in, you can change the Wi-Fi name and password, review connected devices, open ports, and update the firmware.

Default credentials

There is no single universal Orange login. Older Livebox models commonly use admin / admin, while newer ones use a device-specific password printed on the router label. If the password was changed and forgotten, a factory reset (hold the reset button for about 10 seconds) restores the defaults, but it also erases every custom setting.

Troubleshooting

  • The login page does not load: confirm you are on the router's own network, not mobile data, and try the plain http:// address instead of https://. Clear the browser cache or try another browser.
  • The password is rejected: re-check the label on the router, watch for capital letters, and confirm you are logging in to the right gateway address.
  • The page loads but settings do not save: use a desktop browser rather than an in-app browser, and disable VPNs or proxies that might route traffic away from the LAN.
  • You cannot reach the router at all: restart the router and your device, try an Ethernet cable, and check the gateway address again with ipconfig or ip route.
