Check Ip address

Check Ip address – Here you can look at what router IPs are set as the defaults: The average IP address will be of four numbers written with full stops (periods). A home network IP address will have its first few numbers as 192.168. Typically routers are assigned ip addresses like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.0.254.

To check your IP address, you have two primary options: external (Internet) and internal (Local Area Network) IP authentication. To find out your public IP, type in sites such as whatismyip.com, do a Google search for ‘what is my IP’, or open ipconfig.me in your browser. In order to obtain or change your router, you need to type the right IP address to log into the administration console of the router.
