Your gateway address is the IP address of the router that connects your local home or office network to the Internet. It is usually referred to as the default gateway or router. To locate the IP address of your router, you can use a few different methods.
1. Look for the Default Gateway address on your computer:
• On Windows: Open the Command Prompt (click Start > Run and type in cmd) and type “ipconfig”. Look for the line that says “Default Gateway” and note down the IP address next to it.
• On Mac OS X: Open the Network System Preferences, select your active network connection (usually Wi–Fi or Ethernet), and look for the line that says “Router”.
2. Check your router manual: Your router will often have the IP address printed on the bottom or back label.
3. Log into your router: You can log into your router’s interface by typing its IP address into a web browser on your computer. The IP address will usually be printed in the router‘s manual. Once logged in, you can find the IP address under the Advanced Settings section.
