Default Router IP Addresses

Every router has a default gateway IP, the address you type into a browser to reach the admin panel. The most common are 192.168.1.1 (Linksys, Netgear, ASUS), 192.168.0.1 (D-Link, Tenda, older TP-Link), and 10.0.0.1 (Comcast Xfinity, Apple AirPort). All of them sit inside the RFC 1918 private address ranges. The directory below covers 80+ default IPs across consumer, ISP, and mesh-router conventions.

Routers use private IP address ranges defined by RFC 1918. The most common is the 192.168.x.x range, used by virtually every home router sold at retail. The 10.x.x.x range appears mainly on ISP-supplied gateways and enterprise networks. The 172.16.x.x–172.31.x.x range is less common in consumer equipment but shows up in container orchestration (Docker uses 172.17.0.0/16 by default) and some corporate setups. The deeper context on why these ranges exist and how the IETF allocated them lives in the RFC 1918 reference; the public vs private IP explainer covers why your router needs a private address internally and what NAT does with it.

Three gateway addresses dominate home networking. 192.168.1.1 is the most widely-used default, picked by ASUS (basic and gaming RT-AX models), Netgear (Nighthawk, Orbi mesh), Linksys (EA, MR, Velop), Cisco (small-business RV), and most third-party retail routers. 192.168.0.1 comes second, favoured by D-Link (DIR, COVR mesh), Tenda, older TP-Link Archer models, and some ISP-supplied units. 10.0.0.1 is the standard for ISP gateways from AT&T, Comcast Xfinity (XB6/XB7/XB8 generations), Apple's now-discontinued AirPort, and some fibre installations. If your router was supplied by your internet provider, it more often uses 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 than the retail 192.168.1.1.

A few brands deliberately picked their own subnet to differentiate. ASUS ZenWiFi mesh and modern RT-AX routers default to 192.168.50.1. Huawei uses 192.168.8.1 for mobile broadband and 4G/5G CPE, and 192.168.100.1 for fibre ONTs (TM Unifi in Malaysia, plus generic GPON deployments). Xiaomi Mi Router defaults to 192.168.31.1. Mercusys uses 192.168.1.1 (matching the dominant convention). MikroTik uses 192.168.88.1. Belkin uses 192.168.2.1. Buffalo AirStation uses 192.168.11.1. The brand-by-brand specifics live in the router brand directory.

Not sure which IP your router uses? Your computer already knows. It is stored as your default gateway. On Windows, run ipconfig in Command Prompt. On macOS, check System Settings → Network → Details. On Linux, run ip route | grep default. On iOS and Android, the gateway is shown in the Wi-Fi network details. Once you have the address, the default gateway explainer covers what your computer does with it. After logging in, run a broadband speed test from a wired client to verify your connection is delivering the throughput your ISP plan promises before tweaking router settings.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most common default router IP address?

192.168.1.1 is the single most-deployed default router IP worldwide. Linksys, Netgear, ASUS, Cisco, Mercusys, and Ubiquiti all ship with this address as their LAN gateway. The runner-up is 192.168.0.1, used by D-Link, Tenda, older TP-Link Archer models, and some ISP-supplied routers. The third most common is 10.0.0.1, used primarily by Comcast Xfinity, Apple AirPort, and some AT&T gateways.

Why are router IP addresses always 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x?

These ranges are reserved for private networks by RFC 1918, the 1996 IETF standard that carved out three blocks of IPv4 addresses (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) specifically for local-network use. They are reused on millions of home networks worldwide and are not routable on the public internet. Your router uses NAT to translate them when traffic leaves your network.

How do I find my router's IP address?

On Windows, open Command Prompt and run ipconfig, then look for the 'Default Gateway' line. On macOS, open System Settings → Network → click your active connection → Details → 'Router' field. On Linux, run ip route | grep default. On the router itself, the default IP is usually printed on a sticker on the bottom or back, alongside the default Wi-Fi credentials.

Can two devices on my network have the same IP?

No. Within a single network, each device must have a unique IP. The router enforces this through DHCP, which tracks active leases. If two devices end up with the same IP (rare, usually caused by manual static-IP misconfiguration), one or both will lose connectivity until the conflict resolves. The router itself always claims the network's gateway address (typically the .1 of the subnet).

What if my router uses a different IP not on this list?

A handful of older D-Link DSL models, certain DAP access points, and rare regional firmware variants use 192.168.10.1. Some Belkin routers use 192.168.2.1. Buffalo AirStation defaults to 192.168.11.1. MikroTik uses 192.168.88.1. Xiaomi Mi Router uses 192.168.31.1. ASUS ZenWiFi mesh systems use 192.168.50.1. If none of these match, run ipconfig (Windows) or ip route (Linux/macOS) to find your actual gateway.
