How to Find Your Router's IP Address on Any Device

It's almost always `192.168.1.1` or `192.168.0.1`. If you want to be certain, you can read the exact address directly from any device connected to your network - it takes about 30 seconds.

Your router's IP address is technically called the Default Gateway. Every device on your network knows this address automatically, so you just need to look it up in your device's network settings.

Quick answer: On Windows, run ipconfig in Command Prompt and check the Default Gateway line. On Mac, go to System Settings > Network > your connection > Details > TCP/IP. On phones, check the Router or Gateway field in your WiFi connection details.

  1. Press `Windows + R`, type `cmd` and press Enter.
  2. In the black window, type `ipconfig` and press Enter.
  3. Look for the section matching your connection (Ethernet or Wi-Fi Adapter).
  4. The Default Gateway line shows your router's IP address.
There's another way if you prefer a visual approach: open Settings > Network & Internet > your connection > Properties. Scroll down to find Default Gateway.
