How to Find Your Router's IP Address

To configure your router, you first need to log in to its management interface — which means you must know its IP address. A router’s IP address typically looks like "192.168.1.1" or "192.168.0.1", and is used to access its settings via a browser.

You can usually find this IP address depending on the device you're using. Here are the steps for different systems:

On Windows

• Open the Start menu and type "cmd" in the search bar to open the Command Prompt.
• Type "ipconfig" and press Enter.
• Look for the "Default Gateway" — that’s your router’s IP address.

On macOS

• Click the "Apple" menu and go to "System Preferences".
• Select "Network".
• Choose your active network connection (e.g., Wi-Fi).
• Click the "Advanced" button.
• Open the "TCP/IP" tab. You’ll find the router IP address next to "Router".

On Linux

• Open the terminal (usually under "Applications" > "System Tools" > "Terminal").
• Type "ip route | grep default", or on older systems, "ifconfig".
• The router IP usually appears next to "default via" or "inet addr".

On iPhone (iOS)

• Open "Settings" and go to "Wi-Fi".
• Tap the network you're connected to.
• Under the "DHCP" section, look for "Router" — that’s your IP address.

On Android

The easiest method is using a third-party app like "Wi-Fi Analyzer":

• Install and open the app.
• Tap the "View" menu and select "AP List".
• You’ll see "Connected to [Network Name]". Tap it to view your network information, including the router's IP address.

On Chrome OS

• Click the status area (bottom-right corner).
• Select "Connected to [Network Name]".
• Click your network name. Under the "Network" tab, you’ll find the router IP address.

Tip: If you're still unsure or unable to find the IP, most routers use a default address like "192.168.0.1" or "192.168.1.1". You can also check the label on your router, or visit the "Router Brands" section of this site to find the default login IP, username, and password based on your router model.
