How to Find a Gateway IP Address?

Published in Networking 1 min read

You can find your gateway IP address using the command prompt on your Windows computer.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Press the Win + R keys simultaneously to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type "cmd" (without quotes) in the Run dialog box and click "OK". This will open the Command Prompt window.
  3. In the Command Prompt window, type "ipconfig" (without quotes) and press the Enter key.
  4. A list of network configuration details will be displayed. Locate the line labeled "Default Gateway". The IP address next to "Default Gateway" is your gateway IP address.

For example, the output might look something like this:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx%4
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

In this example, the gateway IP address is 192.168.1.1. This address is typically the IP address of your router.
