The most important thing to know about your router is its IP address. Once you know what it is, you can configure your router. The IP address of a home network begins with the numbers 192.168. The whole IP address is a series of four numbers which are separated by periods. Common IP addresses are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1. You can check your default router IP address here. The method to find your router's IP address will vary depending on which device or operating system you use. Follow the steps for the most popular ones:
