192.168.1.254 Admin Login

192.168.1.254 is an IP address used by routers of certain models to identify themselves on the network. It is one of the addresses in the so called "private network 16-bit block address space" which is reserved for use within private networks. This address space consists of 65,536 addresses which proved to be too much for small home networks. Typical home or small business network uses just a subset of it and most routers reserve 192.168.1.0-192.168.1.255 range for their network. 192.168.1.255 is reserved for broadcast data transfers (sending data to all computers in the network). Thus 192.168.1.254 is the last usable address in the range. 192.168.1.0 is reserved to identify the network and also could not be used. So if your router uses 192.168.1.254 as an IP address you still have 253 addresses available for use (192.168.1.1-192.168.1.253).
