In order to login to Router, you need to find out the IP Address of your Router, which could be the default IP Address assigned by the manufacturer or new IP Address assigned by your service provider.
In general, many Internet Service Providers (ISP) continue using the same default router IP address that was assigned by the manufacturer and do not change the IP Address of Router.
However, even if the default IP Address has been changed by the service provider or by someone with access to your device, you can easily find the current IP Address of your router by using a Windows computer or MacBook.
Find Router IP Address on PC and Mac
If you have a Router or combined Modem/Router unit supplied by the ISP (Internet service provider), its IP Address should be available on a sticker attached to bottom of the unit.
If you bought your own Router, its default IP Address should be available in the manual that came with the unit and also available on the website of Router manufacturer.
At any time, you can find the current IP Address of your Router or the combined Modem/Router by using any of the following methods.
