The default gateway is normally your router's local address—the device your computer sends traffic to when the destination is outside the local network.
Step by Step
- Run ipconfig in Windows.
- Find the active adapter.
- Locate Default Gateway.
- That address commonly opens the router's local administration interface in a browser.
- It is different from your public internet IP address.
If That Doesn't Work
- Business and advanced networks can use more complex gateway arrangements.
- Do not confuse the gateway address with DNS-server addresses.
