What Is My Router IP Address?
Your router's local gateway IP is what you type into a browser to reach the admin panel. The tool below detects it automatically using WebRTC - no apps, no sign-up.

Find Your Router IP Manually
WebRTC detection works in most browsers but may be blocked by privacy settings. These manual methods always work on any device.
Windows
Press Win + R, type cmd, press Enter. Then type ipconfig and press Enter.
Look for the Default Gateway line under your active network adapter. That IP is your router address.
Open Terminal and type ip route show default or netstat -rn | grep default. The first IP shown is your router.
On iPhone: Settings → Wi-Fi → tap your network → tap the i icon. On Android: Settings → Wi-Fi → long press network → Manage network settings.
macOS
(Applications → Utilities → Terminal).
Type netstat -nr | grep default and press Enter.
The first IP after "default" is your router. Alternatively: System Settings → Network → your connection → Details → TCP/IP → Router field.
Linux
Open Terminal and type ip route show default.
The IP after "via" is your router gateway.
iPhone / iPad
Go to Settings → Wi-Fi.
Tap the ⓘ info icon next to your network name.
Scroll down to the Router field - that is your gateway IP.
Android
Go to Settings → Network → Wi-Fi.
Tap the gear icon next to your connected network.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did no router IP get detected?
Your browser may have WebRTC disabled (common with Firefox's privacy settings or Brave's Shields). Try the manual steps above - ipconfig on Windows or ip route on Linux and Mac always works regardless of browser settings.
My router IP detected doesn't match what ipconfig shows - which is correct?
The ipconfig result is always authoritative. WebRTC detection estimates the gateway by assuming it ends in .1, but some routers use .254 or other addresses. If there's a discrepancy, use the ipconfig/ip route result.
I found my router IP - what do I do with it?
Type it into your browser address bar with http:// at the start (example: http://192.168.1.1). You'll see the router admin login page. Enter the username and password from the sticker on the back of your router. From there you can change your Wi-Fi password, set up port forwarding, update firmware, and more.
Is it safe to share my router's local IP?
Sharing the local IP is low risk on its own - 192.168.1.1 is used by millions of routers worldwide and doesn't identify your specific device. However, sharing your router admin password alongside it is dangerous. Keep credentials private.
