Sometimes it happens that your home Wi-Fi router is faulty and no longer offers a stable internet connection. If you find that the signal is weak, to avoid frustration and annoyance, it is useful to know how to react without necessarily calling a specialized technician. Precisely, we are going to reveal a very simple trick to try to solve the problem in just a few minutes.
In this sense, you will discover how to delete the history of your network interconnection device to improve the signal to connect normally to the web or applications.

First of all, if you want to proceed with clearing Wi-Fi history, it is important that you know how to access the router. Many devices use the default address 192.168.1.1, but others may base their service on other addresses.
In any case, if you cannot identify the address, you can proceed as follows:
- On your computer, find “Command Prompt” and click on it.
- Then type “ipconfig” and press Enter.
- Lots of data will appear, but just watch “Default Gateway” as it highlights the number you need to continue.
As soon as you know the IP address to enter the router, go to any browser and type the numbers in the search engine. A box will appear asking you to enter your login credentials. These generally represent the following combinations:
- admin/administrator
- 1234/1234
- admin/1234
- 1234/admin
- password/password
If none of the credentials work, contact the company that installed your router for the correct information. From there you can enter the correct combination and thus enter the menu of the device.

In this way, you will be able to solve the problem. In absolute terms, the various Wi-Fi errors usually stem from a buildup of data that prevents the connection from working properly and blocks the use of the Internet.
Note that some routers have technical options that allow more experienced users to access logs and see which websites have been visited. Others, on the other hand, do not show the browsing history. So it varies considerably from router to router. In any case, to overcome the problem of poor internet connection, it would be better to delete all event logs to ensure that you have deleted all history stored in the router.
How do I delete the history? These are the steps to follow:
- Click on “Advanced Settings”.
- Next, find the “System” option and select it.
- Tap “System log” or “Logs.”
- Then tap on the “Erase All” or “Remove All” option, depending on your router brand.
- After clicking “Delete”, you need to confirm the process (although in most cases the router will delete the history without this confirmation).
NB : You can always use the Wi-Fi router’s instruction manual, in case you are not very familiar with this type of device.
