Changing the login page of a MikroTik router is a great way to personalize your device and add a touch of creativity. In this article, I will guide you through the process of changing the MikroTik login page, providing detailed instructions and adding my personal experience along the way.
Step 1: Accessing the MikroTik Router’s Web Interface
To change the login page of your MikroTik router, you first need to access its web interface. This can be done by opening your preferred web browser and typing in the IP address of your router. The default IP address for MikroTik routers is usually 192.168.88.1, but it can vary depending on your network configuration. Once you have entered the IP address in the browser’s address bar, press Enter.
Step 2: Logging In to the MikroTik Router
After accessing the router’s web interface, you will be prompted to enter your login credentials. By default, the username is ‘admin’, and there is no password set. However, for security reasons, it is highly recommended to set a strong password. Enter your username and password, and click on the ‘Login’ button to proceed.
Step 3: Navigating to the Login Page Settings
Once you have successfully logged in to the MikroTik router’s web interface, you need to navigate to the ‘Login’ page settings. To do this, look for the ‘System’ menu on the left-hand side of the interface and click on it. Under the ‘System’ menu, you will find the ‘Identity’ option. Click on ‘Identity’ to access the login page settings.
Step 4: Modifying the Login Page
Now that you have reached the ‘Identity’ page, you will see various settings related to the router’s identity and login page. Look for the ‘Login’ tab, which is where you can customize the login page. Within the ‘Login’ tab, you will find options to modify the logo, background image, and text on the login page.
Click on the ‘Browse’ button to upload your custom logo or background image. Make sure to choose an image with the appropriate dimensions to ensure it displays correctly on the login page. You can also enter custom text in the ‘Footer’ and ‘Login Button Label’ fields to further personalize the login page.
Step 5: Saving and Applying the Changes
Once you have made the desired changes to the login page, click on the ‘Apply’ button at the bottom to save the modifications. The router will apply the changes, and you will see a confirmation message once the process is complete.
