Default Router IP Addresses
Default gateway IP and login credentials for every major router brand. Plus how to find yours when nothing else works.
Default gateway IPs by router brand
Forgot what address your router uses? Bought a used one? Helping a relative? Here's the cheat sheet.
On any computer connected to your network: ipconfig (Windows), ifconfig or ip route (Linux/macOS), or check your phone's WiFi details. The "default gateway" or "router" address is your router's IP, regardless of brand.

Change the default password immediately on any new router. Default credentials are public knowledge — they're literally listed in this article — and bots scan the internet for them constantly. A compromised home router can be conscripted into botnets, used to attack other sites, or have its DNS settings changed to redirect your banking to phishing pages.
If none of these work
The easiest universal method:
- Windows: Open Command Prompt, run
ipconfig. Look for "Default Gateway." - macOS: System Settings → Network → click your active connection → Details → TCP/IP. Or terminal:
route -n get default. - Linux:
ip route show defaultin a terminal. - Android: WiFi settings → tap connected network → Advanced → IP settings show gateway.
- iPhone: Settings → WiFi → tap (i) next to network → "Router" field.
