Find the right local address

How to find your router IP address

The correct gateway shown by your device is more reliable than guessing a common IP.

Windows

  1. Open Command Prompt.
  2. Run ipconfig.
  3. Look for Default Gateway under the connected adapter.

macOS

  1. Open System Settings and choose your connected network.
  2. Open network details and look for Router.

Android and iPhone

Open the details for the Wi-Fi network you are currently using. Look for Gateway, Router, or similar wording. The label varies by device and version.

Linux

Open a terminal and check the default route with your network tools. The address after default via is normally the gateway.

Important: The gateway may be different from the popular examples. Use the value shown for your current network.
