Common Router IP Addresses

Most routers use standard default IP addresses. If you're having trouble finding yours, try these common addresses:

• 192.168.1.1
• 192.168.0.1
• 192.168.2.1
• 10.0.0.1

These addresses work for most home routers from brands like TP-Link, Netgear, Linksys, and others. If none of these work, use the device-specific methods above to locate your exact router IP address.

Once you have your router's IP address, enter it into any web browser to access your router's administration panel. You'll need your router's username and password to log in and make configuration changes.
