How to Find Your Router's IP Address in Windows

Find the local address used to open your router's administration page.

Quick Answer

Open Command Prompt, type ipconfig, and look for Default Gateway under your active network connection.

Step by Step

  1. Open Start and search for Command Prompt.
  2. Open Command Prompt.
  3. Type ipconfig and press Enter.
  4. Find the active Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter.
  5. Look for Default Gateway. The IPv4 address shown there is normally your router's local IP address.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Common router addresses include 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1, but do not assume yours uses one of them.
  • If Default Gateway is blank, confirm that the computer is connected to the local network.
