Find the IP address of the router

Although you may know your router’s IP address, it’s always a good idea to confirm it. In case you forgot, you won’t be able to access your router’s configuration. You can find your router address with the following steps:

• If you have a Windows PC, you can use the ipconfig command to check your router’s IP address. The IP address mentioned beside the default gateway belongs to your router. You can also go to the Network and Sharing Center on your PC and click on the “Connections” tab to find out your router’s IP address. The IP address will be listed in the IPv4 Default Gateway column.
• If you have a Mac system, you can check the router’s IP address in the utility window using the netstat command. You can also go to System Preferences and check the IP address.
• To check your router’s IP address through your cell phone, you need to check the advanced properties of your connected WiFi device.

Enter your router credentials

• You will have to type the router’s IP address into the browser’s URL bar first. For example, if the address is 192.168.8.1, you will type it into your browser. The browser will turn this into a link called http://192.168.8.1, taking you to the login screen.
• If you’ve set up your account username and password before, you’ll need to fill them out. However, if the username and password are set by default, you will need to enter them.
• You can also find out your router’s default credentials online, in case you’ve forgotten.
• After entering the router username and password, you can click submit and access the router’s control panel.

Changing the local IP address 192.168.8.1

Another setting you may want to change is your router’s local IP address, with more information on the differences between the local IP address and the audience detailed below. If you change your router’s local IP address, you will not be able to access the router with 192.168.8.1, so you must remember your new address. To change the address:

• Go to setup menu or option with similar name
• Click on the network settings option.
• In the router settings, enter the desired IP address
• Save Changes.

Change Wi-Fi network name

With the actual router settings changed, you can start exploring further with the router’s Wi-Fi network name being an excellent place to start. The SSID or Service Set Identifier is the name that distinguishes your router’s Wi-Fi network from nearby ones. The name can be anything you like, as long as it’s not offensive. By default, the name can be somewhat generic, so to help differentiate your network you should:

• Go to setup menu or option with similar name
• Click on the wireless settings option.
• Enter the desired network name in the SSID field
• Save Changes.

When changing the name of your Wi-Fi network, you can also set a password. The password field will be in the same menu as the network name.

The above settings will allow you to put your router’s security in order, which is vital to ensure that anyone surfing the Internet over your network is securely doing so. From there, you’re free to explore your router’s options further. Most routers come with parental settings that you can configure, and some allow you to configure multiple networks or a VPN service.

Your public IP address

An example of a private IP address is 192.168.8.1, which you use to access the router’s administration page. It is also used by computer devices on the network as a point to send data requests. However, as mentioned above, a private IP address is not the only IP address your router has.

Your Internet service provider also assigns a public IP address to the router. Unlike your private IP, you don’t have much control over your public IP address. The ISP uses the public IP address to forward information requested when you visit a website. This means that every website you visit can see your public IP address. Your router’s public IP collects the requested information and delivers it to the private IP, which distributes it to the computer on the network that made the request.

That way, people outside your network can see your public IP address, but that’s not the only difference. Your ISP can change your public IP address as needed. Two devices do not have the same two public IP addresses and there are not enough IP addresses for all computer devices that use the Internet. An ISP has a selection of public IP addresses for its customers to use, so whenever a router disconnects from the Internet, the public IP address is reassigned.
