Router IP finder

Find the address that opens your router's settings page, also called the default gateway. We show the steps for the device you're using.

Your device

  1. Press Windows + R, type cmd and press Enter.
  2. Type ipconfig and press Enter.
  3. Under your active adapter (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), the Default Gateway is your router's IP.

Try a common router address

These open only when you're connected to the router's network. Browsers can't detect the gateway address for you, which is why the steps above are needed.

What is the router IP address?

The router IP address is the router's private address on your home network. Devices send all internet traffic to it, which is why it's called the default gateway. Typing it into a browser opens the router's admin page.

It is different from your public IP address, which is the address the internet sees. The router IP is a private address that only works inside your network.

Why can't this page detect it automatically?

Browsers deliberately stop websites from reading your local network settings, because that information could be used to fingerprint or attack home networks. The only reliable way is to read it from your device's network settings, which takes under a minute with the steps above.

If the address doesn't open

  • Make sure you're connected to that router's Wi-Fi or cable, not mobile data.
  • Type the address with http:// in the address bar, not the search box.
  • Turn off VPN apps — they route traffic away from your local network.
  • If you have an ISP fibre ONT and your own router, each has its own address. The one shown as your default gateway is the device you're connected to.
  • If nothing works, see router login troubleshooting.

Questions

Is 192.168.1.1 always my router's address?

No. It's one of the most common, but routers also use 192.168.0.1, 192.168.10.1, 10.0.0.1 and others, and anyone can change it. Your device's default gateway is the definitive answer.

Is it safe to share my router IP?

Yes. Private addresses like 192.168.x.x are used by millions of homes and can't be reached from the internet. Your public IP and router password are what to keep private.
