Because of this lack o knowledge, many of the users end up searching ‘How do I find my router’s IP address?’. But, it is not as difficult to do as it seems. We have mentioned below the steps to do it.

Step 1: Before starting with these steps, make sure that your device is connected to the router network through which you want to login.

Step 2:  Now, take your router’s packaging and type the IP address written on the back of the package, on to the address bar of your web browser.

Troubleshooting

For most of the users, this guide for straightforwardly logging in remains useful only till the step 2nd or 3rd as they come across an error after that.  But, don’t worry, as this problem with configuring routers is very common with the users. According to many of them, the error message saying ‘this webpage is not available’ shows up when they type IP address: http://192.168.2.1 in the web browser’s address bar.

As per our records, this problem traces back to two major issues –

  1. The router is not able to connect to the network, i.e. it is offline.
  2. Some technical problem because of which you are not able to access the router.

So, there are some ways to fix these errors with your router’s connection. But first, we need to check a few things.

1. Is The Ethernet Cable Connected?

Basically, The Ethernet cable is the cable that connects your device to the router (in wired connections) or that connects the router to the modem (in wireless connections). Make sure it is properly and tightly connected or fitted as an unconnected or loose cable can cause the error message to occur while login. Also, check that the cable is not damaged as that can also result in this error.

2. Does Your Router Function Normally?

The router itself can be the main cause of this router login problem. Ensure that it is appropriately connected to the socket in check with all the symptoms. Modern routers are provided with LED lights to show whether they are on or not, which ports are being used, receiving data from the Ethernet cable or not, and many others.

Some of them even show warning signs in case of any problem. To check which LED light denoted what action, check the router manufacturer’s guide.

The Last Resort – Reboot the Router

If any of the fixes mentioned above didn’t work, try rebooting the router itself. Rebooting the router reboots the IP address as well as reset it to the default order. Here are the steps to reboot the router.

Step 1: Plug off the internet modem and detach the Ethernet cable that joins the router and modem.

Step 2: In case of a wired connection, turn off your device as well as the router.

Step 3: Now, firstly turn on the power of the router, and then your device and internet modem.

Step 4: Connect the router to your device now.

At this stage, it can reset its IP address as well as the IP address of any connected device.
