Knowing how to access your WiFi router’s settings is integral to customising the network according to your needs. If want to change the WiFi password, block certain devices from a network, set up parental guidelines, check the internet speed, or troubleshoot the device logging into the router’s management portal is the first thing you should do. So, let’s look at the top 3 ways to connect to your home router as an administrator.
While logging into the router management portal, you need to know the username and password of your device. If you are logging into the portal for the first time, use the default credentials. Take a look at your router and go through the information on its stickers to find the login credentials.
If you can’t find the login information on the router, try a combination of the most popular usernames and passwords. These include admin/password, admin/admin, sysadmin/password, etc. For a more detailed list of default usernames and passwords, download the All Router Admin app.
Once you have gained access to the router’s management portal, you can change the network password, set up a device limit, impose parental controls, view router history, and do a whole lot of other tasks.
Connect to your home router as an administrator using its IP address
The simplest way to access your home router’s firmware is by logging into its web portal using its IP address. To find the IP address of your router, go to Command Prompt and type ‘ipconfig’. The IP address will appear in the ‘IPv6 Address’ field. Copy this address and paste it into your web browser’s address box to access the login portal. If you can’t find the IP address, simply paste 192.168.1.1, since this works for most routers.
If you are logging into the router’s portal for the first time, enter ‘admin’ as the username or ‘password’ or ‘admin’ as the password. If you changed your login credentials in the past, use them to log in and access the router’s firmware.
Access the login gateway on your smartphone
Step 1: Go to Settings and select Connections.
Step 2: Tap on WiFi.
Step 3: Tap the gear icon next to the connected network.
Step 4: Select Manage Router.
Step 5: This will lead you to the router’s management portal. Log in using the appropriate credentials.
Use your router’s official mobile app
Most modern routers have a dedicated companion app. OEMs like Netgear, TP-Link, and Linksys allow users to remotely access the admin functions of their routers using the companion apps. Once you have logged into the app using the proper credentials, you can view the devices connected to your network, change the network password, and set up different connection bands. You can also check your internet’s speed, set up parental controls, and share the WiFi connection with guests.
Use a third-party app
If your home router does not have a companion app, use a third-party app like All Router Admin. This app has a large database of home routers and their default usernames and passwords. Go through the list to find your router model and copy its credentials. Hit the blue router icon in the app to access the login portal and paste the credentials in their relevant fields.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I connect to my home router as an administrator?
Enter 192.168.1.1 (or your router’s IP address) in your web browser and hit Enter. Provide the login credentials and hit Enter again. You will be redirected to the admin page of your router.
How do I change my home router’s password?
Log into the router’s web portal, go to WiFi Setup>WiFi Settings and enter the new password in the ‘Pre-shared Key’ field.
What is my router’s username and password?
By default, your router’s username and password are set to ‘admin’ and ‘password’/’admin’. You can use the All Router Admin app to find the login credentials of your router’s model.
These are the top 3 ways to connect to your home router as an administrator. If you know any other way to access the router’s firmware, let us know in the comments. While you’re here, read this article to learn how you can check your WiFi router’s history on your Android smartphone.

If you ever come across a weird glitch or error in Outlook, one of the first things you should do to resolve it is clear the app’s cache. On an Android phone, this is a very easy task that doesn’t take more than a few seconds. However, the same cannot be said about a Windows PC. Users often struggle to find the ‘clear cache’ option on their Windows devices. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the top 4 ways to clear Outlook’s cache on a Windows 10 or 11 PC or laptop.
If you’re worried that clearing Outlook’s cache will delete the app’s data and remove all your emails and contacts, you can rest easy. Clearing the cached memory does not interfere with the app’s data. All your emails and contacts will remain intact.
A cache is a temporary memory that stores the files which are accessed the most by an app. For example, Outlook may store prompt suggestions, search history, and other commonly used files. It is not uncommon for these files to get corrupted and lead to weird malfunctions within the app. Sometimes, the cache becomes very large and causes the app to slow down instead of speeding it up. In these cases, deleting the files in the cache becomes necessary.
If deleting the cache files resolves the issues you are facing with Outlook, you can try repairing the app. Go to Settings>Apps, hit the ellipses next to Outlook and select Advanced Options. Scroll down and select Repair. You can also try logging out and logging back in to get rid of any temporary account-related issues.
Clear Outlook’s cache in Windows 10 or 11
Step 1: Press Windows Key + R to launch the Run box.
Step 2: Paste the following command and hit Enter:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache
Step 3: In the folder that appears on the screen, select all the files and delete them.
These are the top 4 ways to clear Outlook’s cache on a Windows 10 or 11 PC or laptop. Once the cache has been cleared, Outlook will rebuild it for faster functioning. It is recommended that you delete the cache every couple of weeks to make sure corrupted files do not cause weird glitches in the app. Check out this article to learn how to clear Steam’s download cache.
Keeping your PC organised can be a gargantuan task if you deal with a large volume of files on a regular basis. While this isn’t a big deal, it can throw a wrench in things while you’re trying to back up your data. While creating a backup, it is important to note that you don’t copy duplicate files. An unorganised drive often contains several duplicates. In this situation, you can quickly compare the contents of two folders before adding them to your backup. Today, we bring you the top 3 ways to compare two folders in your Windows 10 or 11 PC or laptop.
There are three ways you can go about comparing two folders on your PC or laptop. Each method has its own advantages.
Using Properties: This is the easiest way to compare two folders, but it does not give a lot of details about them. You will also need to manually scan the attributes you are looking for. Using this method, you can compare the date of creation, size, contents, and location of the two folders.
Using Command Prompt: This method gives you a list of files that are unique in each folder. If a file is present in both folders, you can sort them by date of creation using this method.
Using WinMerge: Perhaps the most thorough way of comparing any two (or three) folders, WinMerge highlights the unique files in the two folders and lists their date of creation. Results that are highlighted in grey are present in only one of the two folders. The identical files are left unhighlighted.
Compare two folders in Windows 10/11 using Properties
The easiest way to compare two folders in Windows 10/11 is by viewing their properties. Right-click a folder and select ‘Properties’ from the menu. Now, go to the location of the second folder, right-click on it, and select ‘Properties’ again. Place the two boxes side by side to compare the attributes of the two folders.
Use Command Prompt to compare two folders in Windows 10/11
Step 1: Right-click on the first folder and select Copy as path.
Step 2: Launch Notepad and paste the path.
Step 3: Right-click on the second folder and select Copy as path.
Step 6: Paste the two folder paths separated by a space and followed by /L /NJH /NJS /NP /NS. Hit Enter.
Use WinMerge to compare two folders in Windows 10/11
WinMerge is a great third-party open-source tool to compare two folders on your Windows PC or laptop. As the name suggests, WinMerge lets you merge the contents of two discrete folders. You can also use this tool to compare up to three folders. Here’s how.
Step 1: Download and install WinMerge from its official website.
Step 2: Click on File and select Open.
Step 3: In the ‘1st file or folder’ field, click on Browse and select the folder you wish to compare.
Step 4: Repeat Step 3 for the second and third folders as well.
Step 5: Click the check box for Read-only under every folder.
Step 6: Type *.* in the Folder: Filter field.
Step 7: Hit Compare.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I compare two folders in Windows 10/11?
Launch WinMerge on your PC, go to File>Open, enter the locations of the two folders in their respective fields, select ‘Read-only’, and hit ‘Compare’.
How do I compare two folders using Command Prompt?
Copy the paths of the two folders and paste them into Notepad. Launch Command Prompt and enter ‘robocopy’. Paste the two file paths in Command Prompt, and add /L /NJH /NJS /NP /NS next to them. Hit enter to compare the folders.

Users will be able to find messages faster with the new chat filters.
The chat list will display a selection of three filters: All, Unread, and Groups options at the top.
New Chat Filters are being released by WhatsApp to help with message organisation. As per the instant messaging app, it should be easy to find the relevant chat on WhatsApp quickly and smoothly without having to browse through the complete chat list.
WhatsApp users can now quickly identify the important chats thanks to the latest upgrade which introduces new chat filters to avoid making you go through your entire inbox for that reason. All WhatsApp users are expected to receive the Chat Filters in the upcoming weeks as they roll out.
WhatsApp, owned by Meta, published a blog post announcing the release of Chat Filters which said, “Opening WhatsApp and finding the right conversation should feel quick, seamless, and simple. As people increasingly do more on WhatsApp, it’s more important than ever before to be able to get to your messages fast. That’s why today we’re launching new Chat Filters so you can do that without having to scroll through your full inbox.”

Spotify launched a tool under beta version last week that allows users to create custom playlists using artificial intelligence (AI). Following Spotify, Amazon Music has also released Maestro, an AI-powered playlist creator.
Amazon Music unveiled a tool Maestro driven by artificial intelligence (AI) that can make playlists in response to text commands. The feature is similar to Spotify’s new AI Playlist feature in beta. Currently in beta testing, the company via blog post said, “Today, Amazon Music announces a new feature that uses AI technology to make it easier and way more fun to build playlists you want, when you want.

This feature is rolling out in beta to a small number of U.S. customers on all tiers of Amazon Music.”
You can choose from a list of suggested prompts, or you can go with something short (or lengthy), and utilise emojis, emotions, activities, or sounds. With Maestro’s emoji knowledge, users can type a string of emojis into a prompt and the AI will still generate an appropriate playlist. You can save it, share it with friends to listen to, and they can create their own to share back.
Amazon Music is rolling out Maestro to a limited number of American users of Free, Prime, and Unlimited Amazon Music in beta via iOS and Android mobile apps.

Users will be able to easily view schedules, ticket costs, and links to complete your booking. As of now long-distance bus routes in 15 countries and trains in 38 nations can use this service.
According to Google in the coming months, users will also be able to see train route suggestions when using Google Flights, so it’s easy to find the more sustainable option no matter where you begin your search.
Moreover, Using Google Flights users can already filter by lower-emitting choices and view anticipated emissions for almost every flight in the search results.
“These estimates are powered by the Travel Impact Model (TIM), a methodology we published in 2022 for predicting per-passenger flight emissions. To make this information even more accessible, TIM estimates are now also available through a developer API that allows any app or website to display flight emissions, as well as a Google Sheets add-on and a calculator on the TIM website,” the company stated.

Most Android smartphones have a nifty hidden folder that lets you keep your personal apps away from prying eyes. This feature can be found in security and privacy settings on your device. While hiding apps is easy, figuring out how to access the hidden folder can be tricky if you did not pay attention to the setup wizard earlier. Today, we bring you the top 5 ways to find and access the hidden apps on your Android smartphone.
Android devices have had a hidden folder for years. One UI, MIUI, OxygenOS, and other Android skins have their own unique ways to hide and encrypt apps. This is why it is surprising that stock Android OS is trailing behind when it comes to privacy features. If you own a Google Pixel smartphone, your options are limited to using third-party app lockers and hidden folders. This may not seem like a big deal to some, but third-party app lockers are not as optimised as the native hidden folder. Using a third-party launcher for the sole purpose of hiding apps seems a bit excessive as well. On top of that, some launchers are laced with ads on their interface, which ruins the entire experience.
Find hidden apps on a Samsung phone (One UI)
Samsung smartphones do not have a dedicated hidden folder. You will need to unhide the app to access it again. Here’s how.
Step 1: Go to the app drawer and tap the ellipses at the top right corner of the screen.
Step 2: Tap on Settings.
Step 3: Go to Hide apps.
Step 4: Tap the minus sign on the app that you want to unhide.
Step 5: Hit Done.
The app can now be accessed from the app drawer.
Find hidden apps on a Xiaomi phone (MIUI and HyperOS)
Depending on the OS, Xiaomi phones offer different ways to access the hidden apps folder. The new HyperOS from Xiaomi lets you view the hidden apps folder by swiping two fingers in opposite directions on the home screen. On Xiaomi phones running MIUI, you can find this folder by swiping right twice on the first panel of the app drawer. Xiaomi allows users to protect the hidden folder with a password or biometric lock.
Find hidden apps on a Vivo or iQOO phone (Funtouch OS)
Finding hidden apps on a Vivo/iQOO phone is pretty easy. Swipe up on the home screen using two fingers to view the hidden folder. To access the apps, you will need to provide your ‘privacy password’.
Find hidden apps on OnePlus and Oppo phones (OxygenOS and ColorOS)
The hidden apps on OnePlus and Oppo smartphones can be accessed by entering the secret code in the dialer. This secret code is set up by the user at the time of using the app hiding feature for the first time. OnePlus and Oppo phones require the code to start and end with the # sign.
Find hidden apps on a Motorola smartphone
Motorola phones have a ‘Secure Folder’ that can be used to hide apps. You can access it by going to Settings>Security and privacy>More security and privacy and selecting ‘Secure folder’. Once you’ve verified yourself, you can access the apps in the folder. This folder appears in the app drawer, but you can make it invisible by enabling ‘Stealth mode’.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I hide apps on a Google Pixel smartphone?
Since stock Android OS does not have a native feature to hide apps, you will need to rely on third-party launchers and tools (like Nova Launcher and Microsoft Launcher) to hide apps on your Google Pixel smartphone.
Do the hidden apps show up on the apps list in settings?
Apps that are stored in the smartphone’s native hidden folder do not show up in the apps list in device settings.
How do I access the hidden apps on a OnePlus smartphone?
To find the hidden apps on a OnePlus or Oppo smartphone, launch the dialer and enter the secret code.
These are the top 5 ways to find and access hidden apps on your Android smartphone. When an app is stored in a hidden folder, its notifications are blocked automatically. Some Android OEMs hide the app from the app switcher panel as well.

iQOO’s latest budget offering punches well above its weight. Launched last month, the iQOO Z9 5G is currently priced at Rs 20,000. The successor to last year’s iQOO Z7 5G (our review here), the Z9 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC. This chipset is a brilliant addition to a smartphone in this price bracket. While iQOO smartphones are known to be powerhouses, the Z9’s AMOLED display and 64MP primary shooter hold a lot of promise as well. So, the question remains – is this smartphone the complete package under Rs 20,000? We’ve been using it for the last week to find the answer. Here is our review of the iQOO Z9 5G.
Here’s what you get inside the iQOO Z9 5G retail box.
Smartphone
44W power adapter
USB Type-A to Type-C cable
Clear plastic case
Warranty Card
Quick Start Guide
There are two colour variants on offer – Brushed Green and Graphene Blue. The smartphone has a sleek form factor and a plastic build. The flat back panel gets a matte finish and a two-step island up top for the camera array. The flat plastic frame is curved around the corners. The Z9 offers a decent grip, despite its flat rails and back panel.
The volume rocker keys and the side button are placed on the right edge of the frame. The bottom edge houses the hybrid SIM slot, primary microphone, USB Type-C port, and the primary speaker grille. The secondary microphone is present on the top of the device. The earpiece also acts as a secondary speaker. Unlike the Z7, the Z9 does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
One of the highlights of this smartphone is its 6.67-inch AMOLED display. It offers a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz which is simply amazing for a smartphone in this price category. It can reach a peak brightness of 1,800 nits. We did not face any legibility issues while using the smartphone under direct sunlight. The bezels surrounding the display are thin but get ever so slightly thicker around the chin.
We used the iQOO Z9 5G as our primary media-viewing device during the review period. This included watching live sports on Disney+ Hotstar, catching live streams on Twitch, binging videos on YouTube, and viewing movies on Netflix. The AMOLED display did justice to the content and we were satisfied with the detail-packed pictures and vivid visuals on the screen. The output from the stereo speaker wasn’t as full as we would have liked, but it can reach a high volume level.
Like last year’s Z7, the Z9 has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance. The smartphone can survive minor water splashes. The protection for the display has been upgraded to Dragontrail Star 2 Plus. The Z7 rocked Schott Xensation glass protection.
iQOO Z7 5G: Performance and Cameras
The MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC is a great processor to have on a smartphone priced under Rs 20,000. The Pro variant of iQOO Z7 (our review here), which was one of our favourite midrange smartphones of 2023, also rocked this chipset under its hood. The recently launched Nothing Phone (2a) (our review here) carries the Pro variant of this chipset. On the Geekbench 6 app, the iQOO Z9 5G scored 1,055 points in the single-core test and 2,682 points in the multicore test. In comparison, the Z7 Pro scored 1,196 and 2,657 points respectively.
The Z9 5G handles everyday tasks like video calling, emailing, navigation, web browsing, and media streaming with ease. Jitters and lags are very uncommon on this device. The touch response is good but the haptics are a little blunt. Even though the device has an LPDDR4X RAM, it is surprisingly good at multitasking.
Like all iQOO smartphones, the Z9 5G does not disappoint while gaming. For a smartphone priced under Rs 20,000, the gaming performance here is above average. Frame drops and stutters are uncommon while playing titles like Call of Duty Mobile and BGMI in average graphics. In low graphic settings, we were able to play COD Mobile at 120fps. The back panel gets slightly warm after 40 minutes of gaming. Once you hit the 1-hour mark, throttling issues due to overheating become more prevalent.
OS duties on the iQOO Z9 5G are handled by Funtouch 14. There is a fair amount of bloatware on the device, including the infamous ‘Hot Apps’ and ‘Hot Games’ ads masquerading as folders in the app drawer. Thankfully, they can be easily removed from the device. On top of the bloatware, the notification spam that Funtouch OS generates is also very dampening to the overall software experience. On the bright side, the personalisation options for the lock screen, AOD, and home screen are stacked and diverse.
The Z9 5G is equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery. The smartphone can easily last an entire day on a full charge. During the review period, our daily tasks on the iQOO Z9 5G included video calling, social media browsing, instant messaging, media streaming, and even a bit of gaming. With more conservative usage, you can push this smartphone’s battery life to one and a half days. The 44W power adapter provided in the box can fully charge the smartphone in just over an hour.
The rear camera array of the Z9 5G comprises a 50MP primary shooter and a 2MP depth sensor. The lack of an ultrawide camera in this array is a sore miss. Nevertheless, the primary lens produces a good performance on this device.
In daylight conditions, the 50MP wide camera captures detailed and sharp images with vibrant colours. The images are balanced and not overprocessed or unnecessarily boosted. We were happy with the dynamic range in the images as well. In our time with the smartphone, it did justice to the scene in front of it.
In limited lighting, this camera does a good job of letting in enough light to properly expose the subject and take bright shots. Turning on the Night Mode reduces the amount of grain on the images and adds a brightening effect. The colours assigned to the subject are accurate as well.
Portrait shots taken with the iQOO Z9 5G are well-focused. The smartphone does a good job of separating the subject from the background. It applies a background blur to the images as well, but we would have liked this effect to be more pronounced and intense.
Portrait Shots: 1x vs 2x
The front-facing 16MP camera takes good selfies. The smartphone does not brighten the skin tone in the processing phase. However, the skin texture feels a little smoothened in the final results. The resolution for video recordings is still limited to 1080p for the front camera. The rear camera can record 4K videos at 30fps.
For a smartphone priced at Rs 20,000, the iQOO Z9 5G produces an exemplary performance across the board. The 120Hz AMOLED panel is great for users who prioritise a great media-watching experience over everything else. The MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC pulls its weight while running games like COD Mobile and BGMI. We were pleased to see that the smartphone can run COD at 120fps. The 50MP primary camera delivers a good performance as well. The lack of an ultrawide camera is disappointing, but the Z9 5G is still one of the best smartphones in its price bracket.
The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
It has a 10-bit LTPO 3.0 AMOLED display.
The smartphone comes with a 5,000mAh battery that supports SuperVOOC fast charging.
