How to Find My Router IP Address (All Devices)

This guide covers: How to Find My Router IP Address (All Devices).

Your router IP(also called the default gateway) is the address you use to access your router's admin panel. It is also the address your devices use to reach the internet. This guide shows how to find it on every major platform.

Common default router IPs

Most routers use one of these default gateway addresses. Try typing them into your browser first:

• 192.168.1.1— Linksys, Asus, Netgear, most ISP routers
• 192.168.0.1— D-Link, Netgear, some TP-Link models
• 10.0.0.1— Xfinity/Comcast, some AT&T gateways
• 192.168.1.254— Some BT and ISP-provided routers
• 192.168.8.1— Huawei mobile hotspots

If none of these work, find your exact gateway IP using the methods below. For detailed login steps, see our router login guide.

Find your router IP on Windows

Open Command Prompt or PowerShell and run:

ipconfig

Look for the Default Gateway line under your active network adapter (Wi-Fi or Ethernet). That is your router IP.

For a complete guide to finding all your IPs on Windows, see Find My IP on Windows.

Find your router IP on Mac

Open Terminal and run:

netstat -nr | grep default

The IP next to “default” is your router. Alternatively, hold Option and click the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar — the Router field shows the gateway IP.

You can also find it in System Settings > Wi-Fi > Details > TCP/IP > Router.

Find your router IP on iPhone

Find your router IP on Linux

Open a terminal and run:

ip route | grep default

The IP after “default via” is your router. You can also use:

nmcli device show | grep IP4.GATEWAY

What to do after finding your router IP

Once you have your router IP, you can log in to the admin panel to change Wi-Fi passwords, set up port forwarding, update firmware, or check connected devices.

Router IP vs public IP

Your router IP (e.g. 192.168.1.1) is a private address used inside your local network. Your public IP is the address the internet sees, assigned by your ISP. They are different addresses serving different purposes.

If your router's WAN IP matches your public IP, you have a direct public connection. If it shows a 100.64.x.x address, you are likely behind CGNAT.
