How to Find Router’s IP Address

Deep ShresthaBy Deep ShresthaJune 25, 2023
how to find router’s ip address

Whether you want to access the router’s configuration or set a static IP address, you will require the IP address of your router.

RFC1918 specifies three blocks of IP address space that you can set as an IP address for the router. These blocks include,

  • 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
  • 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
  • 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

Your Router’s IP address could be any address between these three address blocks.

Here, I have compiled ways to find your Router’s private IP address and for simplicity, I will not be dealing with the public IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Via Router Itself

The default IP address of your router is written on a sticker on the back side of the router.

The default address for most routers is 192.168.0.1 or 192.162.1.1. However, depending on the router manufacturer, the default IP address might be different. Here are a few router IP addresses for some popular brands.

Netgear192.168.1.1
