Well, if you need to change the SSID, password, or other configuration of your wi-fi/network, you have to connect to it. And the simples way is to type the IP address of the router in a web browser and then use the router’s username and password. + +While I cannot help you with the username and password of your router, I can surely tell you how to get its IP. + +As always, I’ll show both GUI and command-line methods. + +### Method 1: Get the router’s IP address in Linux using GUI + +It’s quite simple actually. I am using GNOME desktop with Ubuntu here. If you use some [other desktop environments][4], screenshots may look different. + +Open System Settings: + +![go to settings][5] + +Now go to Wi-Fi or Network (if you are using a wired, Ethernet connection). Here, click on the little settings symbol beside your currently used network. + +![access network settings ubuntu][6] + +It will open a new window with several details about your connection such as the IP address, DNS, and [Mac address][7]. You can also see the [saved wifi password][8] under the security tab. + +You’ll also see an entry named ‘Default Route’. This is what you are looking for. The IP address of your router. + +![defaul gateway ip ubuntu][9] + +Your system and all other devices on your network connect to the router using this IP address. This is the setup most households have. + +Now that I have shown the GUI method, let’s go to the terminal route. + +### Method 2: Get the router’s IP address in Linux command line + +Open a terminal and use the following command: + +``` +ip route +``` + +It will show you a few entries. + +``` +[email protected]:~$ ip route +default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlp0s20f3 proto dhcp metric 600 +169.254.0.0/16 dev wlp0s20f3 scope link metric 1000 +192.168.1.0/24 dev wlp0s20f3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.34 metric 600 +``` + +The first line, which starts with ‘default via’, gives you the gateway IP. This is your router’s IP address. + +![defaul route linux terminal][10] + +As you can see, 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of my router. Usually, the router’s IP address is the first number of the subnet. However, this is not a hard and fast rule. I have seen routers with x.y.z.30 addresses as well. + +### Bonus tip + +As shared by Samir in the comments, you can also use the ping command to get the gateway IP: + +``` +ping _gateway +``` + +![ping gateway][11] + +In case you didn’t know, you have to [use the Ctrl+C to stop a running command in Linux][12]. + +I hope you find this tip useful when you need it. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/router-ip-address-linux/ + +作者：[Abhishek Prakash][a] +选题：[lkxed][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/abhishek/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://www.showmyip.com/ +[2]: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=what+is+my+ip&t=h_&ia=answer +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/duckduckgo-easter-eggs/ +[4]: https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-desktop-environments/ +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/go_to_settings.jpg +[6]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/access-network-settings-ubuntu-800x448.png +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/change-mac-address-linux/ +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/how-to-find-saved-wireless-wifi-passwords-ubuntu/ +[9]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/defaul-gateway-ip-ubuntu.png +[10]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/defaul-route-linux-terminal.png +[11]: https://itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/ping-gateway.png +[12]: https://itsfoss.com/stop-program-linux-terminal/
