An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a distinct numerical label given to every device that can connect to a computer network or the Internet. The device’s IP acts a certain way to allow a particular device to communicate with the other devices. In the case of a router, the IP address is used to access the router’s web-based configuration page, where you can change settings such as the wireless network name and password, set up port forwarding, and perform other tasks.
In this article, we will discuss how to find Asus router IP address and do all the things that require it. We’ll look at the default IP addresses that most routers have and try different ways to find out if it’s different from the default addresses. Another thing you’ll notice is that this post breaks down all the approaches to finding IP addresses into step-by-step tactics to make things. But before you start, ensure that your router is working appropriately. If yes, let’s uncover the mystery!
What is the IP of ASUS routers?
The IP address of an Asus router is a unique numerical label assigned to the device used to access the router’s web-based configuration page. Most of the time, the default IP address assigned to most Asus routers is “192.168.1.1” or “192.168.0.1“. The IP address is used to access the router’s web-based configuration page, where you can tweak specific settings and do several other tweaks. Suppose your router has a different IP than the one mentioned above. In such a case, let’s find it out.
How to find Asus router IP address?
There are multiple ways to find the IP address of your Asus router. This article discusses three of them to find the Asus router IP address. I suggest you start with the first method since it’s the most simple one on the list. Suppose you can’t apply it due to some reasons. In such a case, proceed toward the following two methods on the list. All the methods are as follows:
Method 1: Check from the router’s manual or back
The simplest way to find your router’s IP address is by checking the router’s user manual or looking at the back or underneath the router. Suppose you check the router’s manual guide. In such a case, locate the IP address section and note it down. On the other hand, the process is simple if you’re checking it underneath the router. All you have to do is check the silver-black-shiny sheet under the router that has most of the details. Check for the IP address on it.
Method 2: Access the Asus Web GUI
To find the IP address of your Asus router, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Connect to the router’s network.
- You can do this by connecting your device (such as a computer or smartphone) to the router using an Ethernet cable or connecting to the router’s wireless network.
- To connect your computer to the wireless router using a wired connection, plug the wireless router’s AC adaptor’s one end into the DC-IN slot while the other power-input-end to the wall socket or power outlet.
- Use the bundled network cable to connect your computer to the router’s LAN outlet by plugging the appropriate ends into the correct slots.
Step 2: Login into the router’s Web GUI.
- Enter your username and password in the required credentials.
- Click the Sign in button to log in to the Web GUI.
Step 3: Access the about-device section.
- Once successfully logged in to the router, you can find the router’s IP address in the “Network Map” or “Status” page.
- Check the details about your router, such as the MAC address, firmware version, and connected devices.
- Note down your IP address from this section.
Method 3: Use Asus Device Discovery
The following method on the list uses the Asus Device Discovery to fetch the IP address of the WiFi router and showcase it to its users. This app is available for both Windows and iOS devices. But for the sake of simplicity, we’ll talk about an in-detail method to use this app for Windows and find the router’s IP address. For Windows, this app is compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11. The steps are included as follows:
Step 1: Download and Install the Device Discovery.
