IP Addresses: The Quick Version First, 192.168.0.1 is an example of an TCP/IP breaks down information (such as a JPEG or an email) into small uniform packets. These packets are like postage envelopes. There’s a destination and origin address on each one. Every time the packet passes through a network router, it’s sent on its way, getting closer to its final destination with each hop. The number 192.168.0.1 is an example of that address format. In short, it’s the address of your router on the network. Any packets with that address go to the router directly. Private vs. Public IP Addresses Here’s where it gets tricky. The address 192.168.0.1 is one of two addresses assigned to your router. All local devices connected to the router via WiFi or Ethernet see that address, but the router IP address is entirely different on the internet-facing side of the router. This means that all devices in your home share the same IP address on the internet. This is one of the reasons you don’t want just anyone using your internet connection! After all, your location and identity are tied to your public IP address. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns the public IP address and usually, you don’t have any control over it. It may change every time your internet connection disconnects or, if you pay for the privilege, you can get a Network Address Translation So, if all of your devices are connected to the router but only have one public IP address, how does it know which device on the l...

• To access a router, you must know the router's IP address and the administrative user's password and username. • To request a connection to the router, enter the IP address in a web browser— http://192.168.1.1, for example. • Make sure you're using the correct IP address. Then reboot the router, disable the firewall, and reset the router to factory settings. This article explains how to connect to your router as an administrator. These steps work for nearly any router and modem and can be accomplished through any web browser. If those don't work, and you don't know the router's default IP address or it was changed, you need • In a web browser, such as Microsoft Edge, Chrome, or Firefox, request a connection to the router. Do this by typing the router's IP address (in the format http://192.168.1.1) in the browser's address bar. If you want to access a router outside your network, enable Remote Administration. You'll also need to know the router's external IP to make this work so that you can enter that address into the browser. However, this type of connection isn't guaranteed even if the remote admin setting is on since the IP address can easily change (if it's a dynamic IP, which most home networks are). What If I Can't Access My Router? If, after you try the username and password on the router, the browser returns an error message, your computer might not be connected to the correct router, or the username and password combination might not be correct.
