Knowing your router’s IP address is essential when you want to access the admin panel and configure your home network. Whether you’re trying to log in via 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.l00.1, it’s important to identify the correct gateway assigned to your device.
What Is a Router IP Address?
The router IP address (also known as the default gateway) is a numeric label that allows your device to communicate with the router. Popular examples include:
- 192.168.100.1
- 192.168.l00.1 (frequently used by users)
Method 1: Find Router IP Address on Windows
- Press Windows + R, type
cmd
, and press Enter - In the Command Prompt, type:
ipconfig
3. Look for the line that says Default Gateway — that’s your router’s IP.
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.100.1
Method 2: On macOS
- Open System Preferences → Network
- Select your active connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet)
- Click Advanced → Go to TCP/IP tab
- Your router IP will be next to “Router”
Method 3: On Android / iOS
- iPhone/iPad: Settings → Wi-Fi → Tap your connected network → Look under “Router”

Troubleshooting Access Issues
If neither 192.168.100.1 nor 192.168.l00.1 loads, ensure:
- You are connected to the router’s Wi-Fi or LAN
- You’ve entered the IP correctly in the browser address bar
- No firewall or VPN is interfering
