How do I look up my router's IP address to access the router's settings?
print icon

Sometimes, modem routers (gateways) use the same default IP address as Linksys E-series routers.  When this happens, the modem router will assign a different IP address to the router.  This means you’ll have to look up your router’s IP address to get into the setup wizard and manage the settings afterward.

IMPORTANT:  Make sure your mobile device is connected to the router's Wi-Fi.  If you are using a wired computer, make sure it is connected to one of the router's ethernet ports.

Click on each link below for instructions on how to look up your router's IP address on your device.
