How to find your router IP address
Find your default gateway on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android.
Your router's IP address (also called the default gateway) is the address you type into a browser to open its settings page. It's usually something like 192.168.1.1. Here's how to find it on any device.

Go to Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi, tap your network, then look for Gateway or Router, sometimes under "Advanced". The exact menu names vary by phone maker.
Router IP vs your public IP
Your router has two addresses. The private one (like 192.168.1.1) faces your home network. The public one faces the internet and is shared by every device in your home. ipfind.org shows the public one. Learn the difference.
Can't log in?
The username and password are often printed on a sticker on the router. If they've been changed and forgotten, a factory reset (holding the reset button for about 10 seconds) restores the defaults, but it also erases your Wi-Fi settings.
