How to find your router's IP address

In this tutorial, you will learn how to find your router's internal IP address.

At first, you may want to try checking the default IP addresses that popular routers often use. See the common default IPs.

If your router is not on the default IPs list, you can find it yourself. Choose your device below and proceed to the suggested steps to find your router's IP.

Windows

1. Click the Windows Start or Search button and start typing "cmd". The Command Prompt program will show up. Click on it.
   
   
   
2. You will see a new terminal window. Enter the ipconfig command and hit enter. This command will show information about all network adapters.
   
   
   
3. You should now see information about all network adapters on your device. Look under Wireless LAN adapter if you’re connected to Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter if you’re connected to a wired network.
   
   
4. Find the Default Gateway address – this is your router's IP address that you can use to log into your router.

2. Select Network.
