Step-by-Step: How to Find Router IP on Android
- Verify Wi-Fi Connection: Connect your Android device to the Wi-Fi network you want to manage.
- Turn Off Mobile Data: Swipe down the notification shade and turn off Mobile Data. Android automatically routes browser traffic through cellular data when a Wi-Fi connection lacks external internet access.
- Open Network Settings: Go to Settings → Connections → Wi-Fi (on Samsung) or Settings → Network & Internet → Internet (on Pixel/Stock Android).
- Locate Gateway Value: Tap the Gear icon ⚙️ next to your connected network. Tap View more or Advanced. Locate the Gateway line (e.g.
192.168.1.1or192.168.0.1). - Open Chrome Mobile: In the top URL bar, type the exact IP address:
http://192.168.1.1. Avoid selecting Google search suggestions with magnifying glass icons. - Log In: Input the admin credentials located on the manufacturer label.

Android Router Login FAQ
Why does Chrome on Android search Google instead of opening 192.168.1.1?
Chrome's Omnibox treats numbers with missing dots or accidental spaces as search keywords. Ensure you type the full protocol: http://192.168.1.1 directly into the address bar at the very top, and tap the blue "Go" or arrow button on your keyboard.
Can I change my Wi-Fi password from my phone?
Yes. Once logged into the admin dashboard on Chrome, navigate to Wireless or Wi-Fi Settings. Update your WPA2/WPA3 network password and tap Apply. Your phone will disconnect immediately; simply reconnect using your new password.
What if the login page displays improperly on mobile?
In Google Chrome, tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top right corner and check the box for Desktop site. This renders the full router administration console exactly as it appears on a PC.
