How to Find Your Router’s IP Address on Any Computer, Smartphone, or Tablet

Key Takeaways

  • Your router’s IP address is essential for accessing its setup page and configuring its settings. It serves as the default gateway for all devices on your network.
  • On Windows, you can find your router’s IP address through the Command Prompt, Control Panel, or the Settings app. The IP address is listed as the “Default Gateway.”
  • Similarly, on Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, Chrome OS, and Linux, you can access your router’s IP address through their respective settings menus under network or internet options. Look for terms like “Router” or “Gateway.”


If you’ve ever needed to access your router’s setup page to make some configuration changes, you know you need your router’s IP address to gain access. If you’ve forgotten what that IP address is, here’s how to find it on just about every platform.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have repurposed a common piece of tech found inn virtually every household into a tracking technology.

They used radio signals from WiFi routers to detect and track the three-dimensional shape and movements of human bodies in a room. They didn’t have to use any cameras or expensive LiDAR hardware.

“We believe that WiFi signals can serve as a ubiquitous substitute for RGB images for human sensing in certain instances. Illumination and occlusion have little effect on WiFi-based solutions used for interior monitoring. In addition, they protect individuals’ privacy and the required equipment can be bought at a reasonable price. In fact, most households in developed countries already have WiFi at home, and this technology may be scaled to monitor the well-being of elder people or just identify suspicious behaviors at home,” the authors wrote in their study, which is yet to be
