How to find a router IP address

Comments: 0

You need to know the router IP address in order to change its settings. With this information, you will be allowed to go to the device’s control panel, adjust Wi-Fi settings, or, for example, change the password to access your network. Without knowing the IP of the router, it will be impossible to do this. Below we will consider this issue in detail and analyse several options for how you can find out the data of your device.

What IP of the router

To find out what IP of the router there, just enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of any browser. If this does not help, you need to change “0” to “1”. This IP is usually found on a local area network installed at home / in the office. The router interface will immediately appear on the computer screen or you will see a small form with a request to enter a login with a password.
