Before you can configure your internet router, you will have to log on to it and to log on, you will need to know the IP address of your router. All of the internet routers/modems can be accessed through a special IP address, most of the times which are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1.

You can configure your internet router through any Web Browser and most of the home networks use the IP addresses which start with 192.168.

To find the IP Address of your Internet Router, follow these steps:

3. A set of values will appear. Look for the default gateway.
4. This will be your router’s admin panel IP address.
