Router admin login, default IP addresses, ISP-specific gateway quirks, and the networking concepts behind them.

Independent reference site on a domain that hosted the Hanoi GNU/Linux Users Group from 2011 to 2016. The current editorial work is carried on under that name out of respect for the community's primary-source-first standards, not as a fiction of affiliation. Coverage spans 40+ router brands, 80+ default gateway IPs, 100+ ISP-specific guides, plus the RFC 1918 and NAT fundamentals that explain why the practical guides work the way they do.
