On your PC, press and hold the Windows and R keys simultaneously. A Run window is launched to that effect. You can then type “cmd” (without “”) in the text field and click OK.

In the command prompt window, type “ipconfig” (without “”) and press enter. From the loads of information that shows up on your window, find the Default Gateway line then select and copy the router’s IP address. In my own case, this is 192.168.0.1.
