This week I was trying to setup LAN to my home. I couldn't login to the router webpage even though I tried all the username and password like admin etc... I want to ask: Why username and password is required to access modem/router webpage because its always usually admin and admin? What exactly happens inside router when you type correct username and password. Does the router store it internally or does it ask some ISP servers about it? Could someone explain what exactly happens internally in the router right from the configuration phase?
