Quick answer: Common router IP addresses are 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, and 10.0.0.1. Your own address may be different.

How to use the router IP address

Open a browser and type the address into the address bar, for example http://192.168.1.1. You will then see your router’s sign-in page. Use the router admin details provided by your internet provider or shown on the router label.

Important: Do not press a factory-reset button just because you cannot sign in. Resetting can erase your Wi-Fi name, password, and internet settings.

What if the router IP address does not open?

  • Make sure you are connected to that router’s Wi-Fi network.
  • Type the address into the browser address bar, not a search engine.
  • Try another browser or device connected to the same network.
  • Restart the router if it is not responding.
  • Check the router label or manufacturer app for its default access address.

Frequently asked questions

Is my router IP address the same as my public IP address?

No. Your router IP address is used inside your home network. Your public IP address is the address your internet provider assigns to your connection.

Can I change my router IP address?

Usually, yes. This setting is normally found in the router’s LAN or local network settings. Only change it if you understand why you need to, because connected devices may need to reconnect.

What is the default router login address?

Many routers use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, but there is no single address used by every router. Checking your device’s network details is the most reliable method.
