Most home/residential routers have a web interface. Typically this is 192.168.1.1 but you just check your default gateway by typing ipconfig in Windows command prompt or ifconfig on Linux systems from any connected device on the same LAN. If your router does not have a web interface you will most likely need a Telnet client to login. If you don't have a telnet client installed we recommend Smartty (smartty.sysprogs.com) Connect in telnet to the IPv4 address of your gateway and hit enter again. |
